4.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Reference 20 Oct 2008
Format:Hardcover|Amazon Verified Purchase
This review is for the 70-291 book not for 70-284, as for some reason reviews for the 70-284 book have ended up here.

The 70-291 book was a very good study guide and reference book, I would recommend it to anyone taking this the 70-291 exam. Everything is covered very well and it certainly should help get you through the exam. However, please don't expect to use this book as a sole study guide, you do need additional study material. While this book covers pretty much everything, a book on its own is not sufficient to pass the exam.

The only downside of this book is some of the practices are setup where you need to have a connection to two separate phone lines. I didn't have two phone lines so pretty much had gloss over these practices, but because I had additional study material I was still able to cover everything to a good degree.

By P. Gray
Format:Hardcover
As always, the MSPress self study training kits are excellent to prepare for exams, but for the 70-291 exam do not reccomend that you rely on the included measureup tests to assess your exam readiness.

I used the one provided with the book and purchased the latest version from measureup.com. even though I understood the materials in the sample exams pretty well, and could get over 95% in the sample tests, I failed the exam on first sitting, as the measureup tests did not seem to relate to the materials in the exam. I guess that MS has very recently changed the question pool for the 70-291 exam.

That said, I have re-read the book concentrating on the materials I had in my first exam, and used other sample papers and passed 2nd time with 890 out of 1000.

This is unusual, as I have had excellent results from the other training kits and included sample exams - I got 940 points on my first try on my 70-290 using these books.

I can still thouroughly recommend these books, I have since purchased another two, which I will use to prepare for other upcoming MCSE exams.

Also note that these books are heavily discounted at amazon - a real bargain for an IT technical book with so much included...

1.0 out of 5 stars Not impressed 6 Sep 2011
Format:Paperback
I bought this book to get me through the 70-291 exam and was left bitterly disappointed. The book is overly wordy in some chapters, to the point of reducing you to a boredom induced coma, and then wholly incomplete in others leaving under-prepared for the exam. Just sat (and failed) the exam and the book failed to deliver in key areas. WSUS for example, my exam had 5 questions regarding WSUS out of 44, yet the book tip-toes round the subject in four useless pages (out of 1000+), infuriating - tip to all others planning on taking the 70-291 download the WSUS admin guide from the web to prepare you properly. The book also contain multiple typos, with references to diagrams and tables incorrect or missing. Overall I'm not impressed, my resit is in 4 weeks and I've just ordered MCSA/MCSE 70-291 Exam Prep, it's had good reviews so will try that instead.
