I wish I had used the MCSD in a Nutshell book
I spent about a week before the exam plowing through this book. It tries to be light in some places, but mostly it just lists the information and doesn't give you much sense of why it's interesting or useful. (And VB is so overloaded with stuff that most of what's covered on the exam isn't useful to most developers.) It was a decent study guide, and I passed the test just barely, but I definitely wouldn't recommend this book to anyone else. Check out O'Reilly's MCSD in a Nutshell, which you'll read quicker and remember more. (If I had known that book existed, I never would have bought this one.)Good luck on your test!

I just passed today!
This book defintely helped me pass the test. The test covered every topic on the test, including the Package and Deployment wizard and VSS, which other books tend to be weak on. It was easy to see how each topic matched the topics on the exam. Each concept is marked with a number that corresponds to a topic on the exam, so you can see which chapter in the book covers each part of the exam. There are typos, and I found a few questions that gave incorrect answers in the answer key, but overall it was the best book out of the three books I purchased(O'Reilly's came in a close second, with Coriolis Exam Prep a far distant third)
