Reader Reviews
I used this book initially to supplement my study for the 70-441 exam. Unfortunately, each chapter was very short and had only a few review questions, and the topics were presented in a very detached and superficial manner, as though someone had simply summarized the online documentation without truly understanding it. The practice test supplied on CD did have more questions, but the test engine itself was buggy and hard to use. For exampe, you can configure the engine to generate a test on specific chapters and with a time limit, say ten questions from chapter 5 with a time limit of thirty mintues, but it would just ignore your criteria and simply give you all 191 questions with no filtering and no randomization of the questions. After a couple of frustrating weeks, I realized the book wasn't helping me understand the material so I switched to the Sybex book by Victor Isakov, and I'm so happy I did. Comment | | (Report this)
