Good Resource for the Workstation Exam
I found this book a helpful resource in filling in on some topics I don't cover daily in my job. It was a helpful refresher on several subjects. This book is VERY similar to the Server Exam Cram by the same publisher but does provide enough Workstation specific details to make it worthwhile. I've noticed a lot of people are down on this book because it isn't a "complete" resource for the exam. Well, it isn't. No book I've found can replace the hands-on experience you need to succeed in this field. Don't expect to be able to read any book and be completely successful. Do your self a favor and get the job experience first. I will buy from the Exam Cram Series again.

Very similar to the Server Exam Cram
Beware this exam is set to retire. Do not use this book as your only means for preparing for the Workstation exam. It is also very similar to the Server Exam Cram, as both tests are somewhat similar as well. The book does have good questions at the end of each chapter, but you still need another resource to prepare you for the exam, I used Alan Carter's Windows NT 4.0 MCSE Study Guide. You also need to get hands on experience.

Alot of errors
When studying for this cert I had the official Microsoft Textbooks open beside this book. There are alot of errors and conflicts in the information provided in the ExamCram book and the real MS text. Another bad thing are the practice tests that come with the core 4 exam cram books. While taking the practice tests for workstation i was getting wrong answers on the tests which directly conflicted with information given in the book. Ie - the book claims the only true upgrade to Workstation 4.0 will come off the NT platform ( Win NT Workstation 3.5 and 4 ) which is also supported by the MS text. Yet answer this way on one of their sample test questions and you will of a sudden find that you are wrong because according to the test a true upgrade path also exsists for Win 3.1 and 3.11 for workgroups ( A DIRECT CONFLICT WITH THE TEXT!! ) All in all this isnt a good way to prepare for the real test.
