| MS recommends their MOC books.. some people also prefer sybex..
if you are new to networking, hardware etc then go for MOC.. if not try
sybex they are good if u have previous knowledge about MS and networking
concepts

| I like the Coriolis Exam Prep. I've used Sybex B4 and it was good. But one
thing I've noticed in all the different materials I've used is this; they
all have mistakes. Some very few, some more than others. Ranging from
typos (that give you incorrect answers on a practice exam) to downright
incorrect information. There's not a lot, but it could be enough to make
you miss that one Q on the exam that makes you fail. If you purchase
Microsoft Press books, written by the people who created the exams, then a
missed Q on a test can at least be contested, provided the information was
incorrect in a MS book and was not corrected in a newer release. If you
contest an exam failure based on incorrect info from a non-MS study guide,
they'll just tell you that they're not responsible for someone else's
mistakes (in actuality, they'd be right) and the failure would stand. If
the mistake lies in their printed material, you'd have grounds for a
re-evaluation. (But hopefully you'd restudy if you only passed by one
point.)

Are MS likely to respond to complaints that a question is duff ?
I recall years back getting a Q in a Novell exam that had no correct
answer, I failed (just) so complained to Novell. There was no response.
I recently did the CCNA and whilst studying the Cisco Certification guide
noticed a common error (the book said that 10baseT cables are limited to
100M). Its a question that I have seen in some of test exams, so I pointed
out the error to Cisco, they accepted the error but said that the 'right'
answer for the exam was as in the book.
So my experience would be that the companies offering certs assume that
their guides and\or exams are error proof and you just have to put up with
it.
Stuart.
