Excellent For Review

At over 400 pages, this is a huge certification prep book for this type. Its a shame it doesn't come with a companion CD-ROM because something this big should. However, the information is quite useful even if you don't intend to take the exam. The text is easy to read and understand important topics. There is a good balance of text and diagrams and screen captures. It also contains a handy cram sheet.

Perfect finishing touch before the exam.

As usual, I used the Sybex study guide as my main study tool, combined with a lot of hands-on. I used the Exam Cram the last week before I took the exam to refresh my memory and work on my weak points. The authors had some very good explanations on concepts that other sources (including the Microsoft Training Kit and a NETg CBT I had access to) left unclear. The concepts covered in the Exam Cram map very closely to the items I had on the actual test. Both the Sybex and Microsoft guides had a lot of extra material that didn't show up in the test. I'm glad I studied that extra material, but I'm also glad that the Exam Cram let me skip that extra material in the final week of study when my emphasis was on passing the test. Overall, the best Exam Cram I've used to date.

Excellent Exam Cram

I started learning Exchange 2000 in early December with a MS Press book. I got this on January 4th and read it in 3 days. I passed the exam with 866 out of 1000.I definitley attribute my passing grade to this book. It does a great job at informing you of what to expect in the exam. It's the best of the 6 Exam Cram books I have read. It supplies a condensed presentation of the information required to pass the exam. I'd recommend that you have some practical expereience beforehand (such as working through the 1300 pages of an MS Press book) although the Exam Cram does guide you through a few critical practical examples.I found it annoying that no book has the correct information about how many storage groups (4) and stores (5 per group) you can have on a single server.
