I used this and the offical BCS book in tandum to self study for the exam rather than having to pay £1k+ for a 3 day training course. I passed it first time with 87%, with 100% in k1 and 75% in both K2 and K3. I found that this book goes into things in a bit more technical detail than the BCS book and it covered all the key topics so when I took the exam there was not a question that I had which the book had not covered.
If you are self studying then I highly recommend this book and the BCS book because they cover the same subjects in different styles.

recently took my foundation exam and everything i needed to know was in this book, id almost say that the questions in this book are slightly harder than the questions i encountered in the exam.
like a lot of technical books this is not the easiest book to read and id recommend having small reading sessions as your mind will start switching off if you try to read too much in one session.
read it through, then dip into it at various points that you cant remember, there are chapter review tests at the end of each chapter and a sample exam at the end of the book.
id also recommend taking the tests with a notepad, go through the whole test with your answers, marking the ones your unsure of, then check the answers and recheck the sections you got wrong or just needed to refresh.
so, not the easiest book to read but very thorough and will give you everything you need to pass the exam.

Brought this book in conjunction with "Software Testing - An ISEB Foundation". I want to take the relevant exam without having to invest in doing the course. Firstly I haven't finished the book but have read enough of it to form the following opinion. Yes, it covers everything required for the course in a very detailed manner, but like a lot of books written by experts in the area of technology it is very uninspiring from a reading point of view.
