Boo Hiss!
I have used the Exam Cram series of books for many exams that I have passed for my MCSE Exam and have been happy with them, but this one is an exception. I found this book to be very poorly written and dificult to follow. I tried to fight my way through it, but gave up half way through, feeling that I was wasting my time.

Wrong answers and inaccurate information
As an experienced Exchange Admin who is just brushing up on a few points for the exam, it would seem a book touting itself as an "Exam Cram" would be just the ticket. What a disappointment. It took me only about an hour with this book to cast it aside. It offers wrong answers to test questions, along with a lot of poorly written questions that are nothing like the actual exam. When I see such low regard for accuracy with the things I'm familar with, I can't trust the rest of the material. As for being a reference for day-to-day use, as some other reviews suggest, that's a joke. There isn't enough depth. The Sybex book on this is good for brushing up on areas like the silly MS Mail Connector that MS still pounds you on. Trancender is still the best for exam simulations. As for day-to-day admin, nothing beats TechNet and the MS Knowledge Base.

Don't buy if you want to pass.
This is a horrible book for studying for the exam. If you study this book alone, you are guaranteed to fail. I made that mistake, and I hope this review prevents any of you from making the same mistake. The book will probably be helpful for on-the-job use, but if you are studying this book in hopes to pass the exam, look elsewhere. Everyone else says the Sybex book was great, and I wish that was the book I bought. Stay away from this one.
