Help me pass 70-236 with flying colors

I bought the book and took the test 3 weeks later. I spent a lot of time reviewing the questions. Although my experience in the IT field was valuable, this book put Exchange 2007 in perspective. Nice job!

Exchange 2007 Exam prep

I found the Microsoft Exchange 2007 exam prep book an excellent study guide. The use of a lab setup gives you hands on experience, which strengthens your knowledge and confidence when it comes to the real world environment. The review and test questions, which are found on the accompanied CD ROM, present an exam experience which almost replicates the actual exam. You do need to have availability to a good lab, which can be a problem.

Good enough for the 70-236 cert

First the negatives + Loads of mainly minor editing mistakes everywhere, the main body of the text and Q+A at the end of every chapter, + The additional tests on the CD are pretty good, but annoyingly the Q+A are not alligned with the book. In most cases you have to go through 2 chapters before being able to test yourself. + In the last chapter LCR is not taken through its logical conclusion. + The online site does not provide an errata/corrections list. Postives + Covers the material well enough + Each chapter has at its end a Q+A section, to re-enforce learning. + You get Exchange 2007 32bit+64bit on to DVD plus additional questions on a CD. + loads of screenshots, text pretty easy to read I used this as my main study tool and passed with 96%, so it does what it says. I would give it 5 stars, if it didnt has so many annoying errors. I think it is unfair and too harsh to lose more than a single star, as 1. This is a technical book and it has a limited life span (3 years max). 2. The authors and publisher are in a race to produce the book for people like me, I rather have the book now with a few errors rather than wait for another 3 months. 3. Most of the errors probably will be corrected with time.
