Seriously Useful! 13 Jan 2003

By Mr. Kenneth Bearman

Format:Paperback

I passed the exam first time using this book in tandem with the MS Readiness Review (and 2 years hands on experience). It covers all the topics covered by the exam and although I felt some areas weren't in depth enough for my taste these were the same areas skimmed over by the Official MS Curriculum tome at twice the price. My only other criticism was that the questions presented were not of the same degree of complexity as those presented in the exam, but that's why I used the MS Readiness Review.

I would heartily recommend this as a study guide for this exam for anyone with some real world experience, though I'd probably suggest an additional source of exam type questions to complement it.

Good solid Study Guide 8 April 2004

By "stevenfenton"

Format:Paperback

Read this book as my main study guide for 218, which I passed 1st time. Covers the main objectives needed and is easy to follow. But be warned the Exam Cd is just ok for a refresher but nothing like the actual exam questions. Also did find certain tools not mentioned like Fazam lite, GPresult and replication monitor etc. But hey I passed so can't complain, just do a little extra work looking at microsoft.com

Cut down and right to the point. 13 Sep 2002

By Michael J Woznicki - Published on Amazon.com

Format:Paperback

There are certification books and manuals designed to cover the exam beyond the objectives and then there is those books whose purpose is to hammer home the finer points of the exam, this I one of those books.

Cutting down the material to cover the most important facets of the exam while ensuring the objective are met is what we have in this manual. Overall the author has given you a handy reference manual. Keep in mind that this book is a supplement to studying and you will need other books.

The book is setup in a manner that covers each objective from beginning to end. Each chapter has a study time frame to set a guide for you, although you can take as much time as need in the areas you are having trouble with.

Throughout the book there is exam tips and notes as well as review questions at the end of each chapter, which should give you a good handle on the exam. Also included is a cdrom with more question to practice with. What the author has done is taken the reader straight to the exam point, without sacrificing content.

Great 70-218 test's review 7 Nov 2002

By Jose A. Campo - Published on Amazon.com

Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase

This book is easy to read; excellent writing style, not boring at all. It contains a good summarize of important concepts for pass and understand the 70-218 Microsoft test, but CAN NOT BE your one resource. You'll need another book for 218 or have strong knowledge and "hands on" experience working on Windows2000.

Recommended book for use with this: MS-PRESS Book 2nd Edition.

Great 70-218 overview 10 Mar 2003

By Jay - Published on Amazon.com

Format:Paperback

Very readable. Concise. A great overview. Given the price, a great value.

Certification seekers: If you have a lot of real-world experience this will be useful in pointing out what you haven't had to deal with but will be on the test. Those taking classes to prepare will find this a much more pleasant review than slogging through the Microsoft Press book again. Useful for those taking the 70-215 test as well, as the 70-218 rehashes many concepts begun in 70-215.

Possible improvements:
If the CD tests were expanded/enhanced, value would be even greater.
In the text: Need more "On the Test" mentions.
