Amazon.com Review
This book provides some of the best sample questions available to those preparing for the NT Workstation 4 exam. In addition to compiling a selection of questions, the authors have supplemented their dry-run material with summary statements of what's on the exam in each subject area. For example, you'll find review material on network configuration, network security (including NetWare), RAS (remote access server), and troubleshooting. The authors also devote sections to users, groups, and policies. Don't confuse this book with a tutorial. MCSE Exam Cram: NT Workstation 4 is for people who know what they're doing with NT Workstation 4 and want to bring their knowledge to bear on the exam.

The perfect companion for passing the NT Workstation Exam
Rating  (5)
Date: 1999-12-28
Ed Tittel and company hit the nail on the head with this book. An easy book to read over the weekend before your test. While a good portion of the information contained in this book was not covered on my exam (which I passed on the first try with a score of 833), seven or eight of my 30 questions appeared almost word for word in the Exam Prep Questions section! A word of caution, however. I seriously doubt you can pass the certification exam using only this book, unless you have significant hands-on experience with NT Workstation. I used the New Riders book (ISBN 1562059181, Five Stars!), and am currently studying for Enterprise using Alan Carter's windows NT 4.0 MCSE Study Guide (ISBN 0764530879, I just finished chapter 12, VERY solid so far). The Exam Cram books should be required reading for anyone who wants to pass any Microsoft exam on the first try. Good luck to all aspiring MCP and MCSE candidates. With this book, either the New Riders book or Alan Carter's book, and some self confidence, YOU WILL PASS! Brian J. Cicio, MCP

Despite a few errors and being a little thin in a couple of subject areas (most notably Domain-related issues), I found this book to be a terrific review companion to some of the larger, more comprehensive guides to WS4 (such as New Riders, Alan Carter, etc.)I read this book after covering Coriolis's larger Exam "PREP" book (which I can't recommend) a few days before my test. This book & its sample tests covered much material NOT found in the PREP book. This book, combined with the Transcenders, gave me the ability to score 933. I have read many reviews that complain about the 11+ pages of errata that Coriolis has provided at its website for the various editions of this book, but I think they are overreacting. What many of these reviewers miss is the fact that most of these corrections have already been assimilated into the newer editions of the book. If your book's publishing date is 1999 or later, you have little to worry about. As Coriolis says, "This page was created so that even those with the earliest printings of each title can have access to the most current updates." This being said, there are still a few lingering errors, and I even found one case where a question in the 1st sample test directly contradicted a virtually identical, but reworded, question in the 2nd sample test. I forwarded my findings to the publishers & was surprised when Ed Tittle personally replied within one day. They may not have wiped out every single error, but at least they're staying on top of things. Overall, this is an exceptional review book & a darned good value for the money.

The book is well organized but the content seems that was written in a hurry. The chapter 14, about NT Printing, is SO badly written that is unbelievable. The book has MANY wrong info, and the correct info is many times badly written, confused. You lost a lot of time correcting the book using the info provided in the author's web site. Many times you are not sure if the content is correct so you also lost time looking in other books.

I had taken Workstation and almost passed. Read the book front to back (only took two days, easy to read), went back and made 800. Not perfect but I'll take it.

I Passed First Try with this Book Transcender and Sybex

This book is a definite source to answer all the questions to the now non-adaptive 30 question exam but I also used Transcender and Sybex (that I borrowed) to round out all my studying. Definite Recommend
