blah blah blah
Most of this book is the same as the MCSD Fast Track VB 6 book for the other exam (70-176). There is some useful information, but most of it is a cursory look.These two books should have been put together into one book and made better. If you buy both, you've been had.

Great Roadmap/Guide for 70-175 Preparation!
As with the 70-176 book, I used this one to pass 70-175. It was quite helpful, although not as in-depth in some areas as 70-176 was. The coverage of MTS was somewhat limited. However, it provides good comparisons between DHTML and IIS WebClass applications, which you'll need to know! Also, it has a good explanation of Dynamic Load Balancing, n-tier application development, and other theoretical concepts. These are *very* important topics on the exam. It provides an excellent roadmap for ADO, which you'll get a lot of in 70-175 (unlike 70-176). I would recommend this book as a guide, while using the product and MSDN as a secondary source. Take the sample at the end of the book (which is a bit easier than the actual exam, but definitely representative of what you'll see), and if you score 85% or higher, you're probably in good shape for the test. Good luck!

Not enough coverage of VSS or the PDW
On both of the exams for Visual Basic 6.0, there are numerous questions about Visual SourceSafe and the Package and Deployment Wizard. You will need to have a through understanding of these in order to pass the exam. This book gives the basics but does not go in to great detail on these subjects. I would recommend James D. Foxall's "MCSD in a Nutshell" and the Transcender courses if you are really serious about your certification. Visual Basic 6.0 is still the main development environment at many companies. You want the best training and education you can get. This book is about average. This book is OK if you use it as a supplemental book to the other study guides.
