Worst layout of any book I have used
This book will not prepare you for the exam! I found that the book was horribly put together. It is very hard if not impossible to locate and study for all of the objectives covered on the test. I would suggest the Sybex book on the same subject. I read this book and did not feel at all prepared to take the test and found the Sybex four days before the test and had to speed read it. I have found the Sybex book to be a better resource for real life also.

Good Introduction, Need more to pass the Exam
This book does a good job at explaining the basics. Being an MCSE but having limited experience with Exchange, I read the book front to back and took the practice exams. Do not try to pass the exam on this book alone. This book used in conjunction with Transender will help you succeed.

Not very good
I am certified on Exchange Server 4.0, 5.0 and 5.5 and have had experience supporting Fortune 100 companies in rolling out Exchange. I reviewed this book looking for a good study guide I could recommend for our clients and staff.Simply put...look elsewhere for a study guide, as this one doesn't cut it. It seems very confusing, and I'm not exactly sure why they make everything seem so much more difficult in Exchange than it really is. Admittedly, Exchange has a confusing interface, but it's actually quite easy to set up, troubleshoot and get running in real-life. Even in an Enterprise environment with cc:Mail, Notes, IMC connectors, and such...normally the worst thing you need to worry about is migration issues. This book makes EVERYTHING in Exchange seem difficult, and skips very important issues that are not only on the test, but are some of the biggest issues encountered in real-life. Avoid this book. We need less ill-trained Exchange support people in the world as it is.
