I purchased the Mike Meyers A+ certfication book (hardbound)
which is *very* thorough, I felt the Network+ Passport book
was pretty good also. This book is a different kettle of fish...The book has disappointed me on repeated occasions. I
know NT 4.0 very well and have been working with Microsoft-based
products in administrative and development capacities for the
last 10 years. I found errors, contradictions, poorly worded
explanations, etc. It's almost like the editing was rushed
to get this book to press. After reading a chapter, I find that
I can only answer about half of the review questions correctly.
My comprehension may be slightly impaired due to age and other
factors, but I'm not as dim as this book makes me feel!
I also found a number of errors on the practice exam, I
checked into the web site, but found no corrections.
I like the author's humor, but I find myself not feeling very
well prepared with a reasonable amount of Windows 2000 Pro
experience. I ordered the Microsoft MCSE kit as a supplement,
I'm hoping to gain some additional knowledge and the copy of
2000 Server will help me pass the 70-215 test.
If I used this as my only preparation guide, I would not
expect to pass the exam on my first try. This is a little bit
contrary to what I read in one of the MCSE boards I visited
before purchasing reference materials.
