Skip this Server+ resource
This book brings nothing to the table except for more review questions for a Server+ candidate to dutifully go through. Even then, some of the questions and answers are mismatched. The information presented are wrought with spelling errors and can only imagine that the editor(s) were busy doing something else. The SCSI, RAID and backup chapters did not have enough information in my opinion which is a no-no considering the emphasis the exam puts on these topics. However, this book is a quick read and is best used a week before the actual exam date much like the Passport series, but I think you'd do better elsewhere.

A Good Resource
This text does an excellent job covering the topics included in the exam. Many of the end-of-chapter practice questions were nearly identical to the (pre-adaptive) exam. Also, the structure of all the practice questions are identical to the exam. I also liked how the text regularly alerted the reader to test related distinctions. On the down side, it contains a number of mistyped text and technical nomenclature. For example, MB appears in a few places when GB was clearly intended based upon the surrounding context. The frequency of such typos left me worrying about other unrecognized mistakes I could not contextually infer. Better editing is needed. Unfortunately, the Coriolis web site refused my connection when I attempted to check for corrections and addendums to the text. Nevertheless, I learned a great deal from the text and am quite pleased overall. Unlike that ruinous study guide by Stephen Bigelow, this text is worth of its title as an exam study guide.

If you like Exam Cram books you'll like this too
Same format same detail as any other Exam Cram book.
The only thing is it doesn't have the CD with test questions.
(it does have a sample test in the book though).
