I read through this book in a fair amount of time. Most of the details were on the money. This book and exam is very similar to the MCDST certification offered for XP. This book gave me a few extra "hints" that I could have used when I took my MCDST. Overall, this is a good book for this exam.

You can pass with this book!

I estimate that book covers 90% of the exam. I believe the only other resources cover the other 10% is experience and plenty of time on microsoft.com. I will also say that this is by far the toughest Microsoft exam that I have taken (12 of them and counting). If you know this book well and you are a good test taker, you will pass this exam.

More concise than other books

Out of all the books I looked at for the 70-270 exam, this was the most accurate. I bought the Exam-Cram series book, and thought it was poorly writen, loaded with irrelevant information, and the practice test included with it was horrible. The Mike meyers book was well writen, informative, had a good practice test, and overall was a great study guide. But even with both books, it took me two tests to pass the 70-270. Mike Myers book isn't all you'll need for test day, but it's the best study guide on the market. The thing about Microsoft's tests is that the questions can be broad, and require hands on experience to anwser them.

Another well-written book

Mr. Culp continues to entertain while he educates. Look for the subtle nuances in his writing that seperate him from the rest of the technophiles.

Well spent 20 bucks.

I picked up this book because I had read the Mike Meyers book on A+ Certification, and found that book to be excellent as far as information, and it was also not at all boring to read. I can say that this book continues that trend, even improving upon it. I found this to be very informative as a test prep book, and it actually had me laughing in parts. Haven't seen many computer books reference Nigel Tufnel before. Oh, and I passed the exam on the first try.
