Any aspiring MCP knows each Microsoft exam is going to be different. If I had chosen the 30 most important, relevant but not necessarily hardest questions to study, I would have spent a total of 30 minutes studying and passed with a 1000. That was my exam. Instead I studied so much info I was at times confused and barely passed with a 733 of 1000.
So for my particular review on this Readiness book, it was an extremely helpful resource. For those that do not have any other Readiness, it breaks down Objectives by Chapter (Planning, which consists of 1.1, 1.2 and 1.3 would be Chapter 1). That makes it easy to use in conjunction with another study guide. (Oh yeah, I DO NOT suggest using only this book alone to pass the exam). At the beginning of each chapter, it suggests terms to know before attempting the questions. At the end of each chapter, it suggests exercises for practice to learn each objective (For example, read a particular article on the Microsoft website or read Chapter 7 in the Tech Support text). The meat of the book is the sample questions, many of which you'd see on the real exam. You can work through the book answering the questions or load the CD in your computer and it will randomly select questions from each objective to simulate the test. NOTE: I did not use the CD with this particular review so check everyone else's reviews on how helpful the CD is.
I didn't use the Transcender Exams,............... and are supposedly exactly like the real exam (Pass Transcender, you're ready to take Microsoft exam). I bought the Readiness review ......... and still passed it. I can only suggest you do the same.
