Very useful, but not the whole story (1/1 people found this helpful)

This book is a well presented, well organised guide to the 70-270 exam syllabus. It isn't too basic, it assumes that you have some working experience already, which is the correct line to take in my opinion.

My main gripe with the book is that when you go from 'Part 1 - Learn at your own pace' to 'Part 2 - Prepare for the exam', it has questions on things that aren't covered in the first part. So don't go thinking that this book is fully comprehensive, it's not. Given the size of it, maybe there just wasn't enough room for the fine detail!

MCSA 70-270: Implementing WinXP (2/2 people found this helpful)

I received this book as part of my course, and i have found it a great help, especially the practise test CD and the Service Pack 2 installation CD which came with mine (That may not come with other copies, im not sure as mine as i say was sent to me via my education facility). This book is definately worth buying if you are studying the MCSA/MCSE or even just brushing up on parts of your knowledge if already in the field of network engineering/administration. In short I find this book much better than then MCSA for dummies i bought before receiving my course package

A great book!! (20/20 people found this helpful)

I have to say that this book is just great. I have passed the XP exam and I used this book as my main reference (I have used other books but they weren't as good). The chapters are well organized, clear and useful. It contains lots of practical lab work that are useful both for the exam and the real world. This book also comes with a 15% discount voucher (time limited), a CD which contains exam style questions and videos (plus more useful stuff), and a trial version of Windows XP operating system.
I felt the authors actually knew what they were talking about and provided useful exam tips throughout.

The book is huge with lots of useful information. I will use it as a great reference guide now that the exams have finished.

I strongly recommend this book and I believe it is money well spent.

Passed my exam thanks to this book (12/12 people found this helpful)

I would thorougly recommend this book, It is a bit bulky but that is the only downside. The book is well structured, has questions to test you in between the chapters and also includes a 15% discount voucher. If you want to pass your exam I would recommend this book. Forgot to add, in my opinion this book can also be used a an XP guide thanks to its well presented instructions.

This is an easy read, even for complete novices. The book is well structured, with one half dedicated to self training, and the other half to exam preparation. Chapters constantly break the subject matter down into smaller parts, and aim to consolidate what you have learned by regular testing. It also includes a 15% discount exam voucher for the exam, and practice tests on CD ROM. The only disadvantage I can think of is the sheer size of the book.
