Customer Reviews

Great for test prep if you know Sun

Well, I just passed the first exam (got an 89!), thanks in no small part to this book. As other reviewers have said, this book will not teach you Solaris. It is intended for Solaris users and admins who need to focus their learning to pass the exams. It is exactly what it says it is, a tool for studying. I found everything about this book to be helpful in passing the exam. I also bought the New Riders book by Calkins and was rather disappointed by its meandering style, many errors, and lack of focus on one exam vs. another. If you already have experience with Sun, then just download the exam objectives from Sun's web site and buy this book.

Good test material - need course book too...

This book is very good for the exam. It cuts alot of the excess in the class book but leaves out some flag descriptions. The practice exams are GREAT...noticed a few of these questions on the exam for part 1.

Excellet Book

This book helped me prepare and Pass both Exam in one hour . The topics discussed and presented is exactly what is required . This can even be used as a first level of reference for a majority of Solaris System Administration tasks .

Excellent book to study for Solaris Admin Exams

I used this book to pass both my exams recently. With real world experience and using this book as a reference for what is covered on the exam you should not have much problem passing the tests. The questions at the end of each chapter are thorough enough to show you weather or not you know the material.This book mixed with hands on experience (Intel or Sparc) will prepare you for the exams so you can pass.

It's enough to pass exam!

I passed both exams using only this book! My two tests included 81+94 questions and this book has answers on all of them except probably one or two. Sun exams have low passing score ( 70-75% ) and I think it's possible to answer about 80% using only this book for preparation. But if you want to answer >90% it could be very difficult task because some questions are very tricky (like command flags, CDE filenames) and you have to have extremely strong real work background to answer them. <p>Moral is simple. If you want just pass exams - this book is right for you!
