I thought the book did a good explaining all the technologies needed to pass the exam. This along with Transcender or some other practice test software you should be ready for the exam. One thing about the book that I found odd - the book ended the last chapter (chapter 10) with this... "In the next chapter, we are going to take a look at how you will implement an efficient IP addressing infrastructure." Huh? My book only had 10 chapters. Maybe Chapter 11 got axed at the last moment??? Poor job of editing whatever the case.
Good base

This is a good book, it will get you studying in the right direction. The contents do cover what you will expect in the 70-297 test however I strongly suggest that in addition to this book you use an online test preparation tool (I used Self Test). You will need the practice when facing the verbose (-vv) questions on the test. So after using this book, Self Test software and lots of studying I squeaked by on my first try! Ben
Excellent Study Guide!

This book was excellent in preparing for the 70-297 exam. Each chapter introduces new concepts, and builds upon the previous chapters in a very logical and easy to understand method. There are many real world examples, and great practice questions for review after each chapter. The CD included with the book has excellent additional materials as well. I would purchase more books from Brad Price and Sybex for my future study needs! A+ all around.
