Summary: I read the book.......I passed the exam!
Review: "Over the years I've read countless books of this kind in preparation for tests. After reading the books and then taking the exams, I've invariably been pretty disappointed with what the book actually provided me with. Even when I purchased several different books, I've usually come up short in one aspect or another. This time around I only bought one book, and as it turns out it was all that I ever needed. This book is a comprehensive resource. The presentation is straightforward and concise, yet detailed enough to give you precisely what you need to know. As with all such books , it assumes a certain amount of prerequisite knowledge on the part of the reader, which I found to be totally consistent with my own level of mastery. I was generally fairly comfortable during the exam itself, and again, yes, I passed, so I guess that says it all!"

Summary: Like I said, dont expect to pass with this review guide
Review: Chapter 3 covers GPO's? Then someone has played a cruel joke on me. Like I said in my previous post: this exam cram is insufficient! My chapter 3 is nothing but managing server storage! How to convert to dynamic disks etc. The acronym GPO is nowhere to be found. I DO read the books I review! I want a refund.

Summary: great coverage
Review: I just started reading the book in preparation of taking the 70-290 exam and found the depth of coverage excellent along with many easy-to-follow examples. Well-written with great information on troubleshooting bottlenecks.

Summary: You'll need a lot more than this book to pass.
Review: I just took the exam, and trust me, this book simply doesn't go far enough. Some material on the exam doesn't even appear in this book, and other material goes in to much more detail than the book does. Example: visual basic scripting; I got a couple of questions that required some knowledge of VBS, but this book didn't touch it. Another example: using the automated system recovery tool is covered, but not in enough detail to help you pass. I also upgraded, for about $60, the test and took, and scored very high on the four practice tests. These tests bear no resemblance to the real thing in form or content. Little help, if any. If you want to pass, find another book.

Review: I studied this book and made up some flash cards. The book includes two practice exams, too. I also took one "Prep Logic" practice exam. On the day of the test, I was really sick (throwing up), but I still managed to pass the exam. I am amazed that these books only cost around $20. I don't know how anyone can complain about $20, but I think these books (The exam cram series) are a GREAT value.My recipe for success: These books + some hands-on experience + extra practice exams = pass everytime

Summary: A great tool to use on your way to passing...
Review: It took me about 2 months to work though this book, and it was worth every minute of it. I used this book and a small at home lab I set up to test out some of hands on work before writing. All of this and the TWO practice exams PLUS the PrepLogic exam that is on CD was the best tool I needed to pass the exam. And pass the exam I did. I've been a fan of the Exam Cram series for years and again they have not disappointed me. There may seem to be a lot of information to cover... but it's all well worth it. Thanks Que Publishing for helping me out yet again.
