As someone who has taken between 15 and 20 Microsoft/Novell exams, I was anxious to try Syngress. Now, having taking my 70-292 exam, I'm going to pitch the 70-296 book in favor of another publisher. In short, the 70-292 didn't address a number of things on the test. What things? Probably better not say due to the NDA. Even though I passed the test I was shocked at how much the test had that the book didn't prepare me for. Furthermore, the grammatical mistakes in the book were very apparent. A company that can't get most of the grammar taken care of in a book causes great concern to me. Grammar should be easy compared to the technical side. Lastly, I've found Syngress to be unresponsive to comments e-mailed from their web-site. Another mark against them. I can't recomend a replacement for this product, but I'll be looking for one, that's for sure.
