Covering the three most popular exams that lead to MCP+I certification,
MCP+I Training Guide provides all the information you need in one volume at a relative bargain price. You'll find clear, complete prose in these pages, along with excellent exercises and review questions. Some truly super test-simulation software rounds out the package.
Each chapter begins with a handful of questions. The idea behind this technique is that if you know the answers to a chapter's opening questions, you need not spend much time studying it. The chapters' conclusions really prove useful: Exercises are guided tours through specific procedures, while review questions provide a multiple-choice quiz.
Overall, the authors' writing styles and other means of communicating information to the reader are very good. They typically walk through the Microsoft-specified exam objectives one by one, spending relatively little time on broad concepts and focusing instead on detailed procedures. A couple of illustrations come across as gigantically silly (the one showing a man spreading his arms wide to illustrate the "bigger" partitions supported by NT file server seems especially dumb). More tables of facts would help those who need to learn material in a hurry.
As is the case with other books in this series, MCP+I Training Guide comes with an excellent CD-ROM. The CD-ROM holds a searchable copy of the book's text, as well as a very good piece of test-simulation software. -- David Wall
