Customer Reviews

Instrumental in helping me pass
I found this book exceedingly useful. It is incredibly thorough, as are all the titles that I have read in the series.

The exercises and the tests were a useful alternative to the online tests available. Unless you have broadband of cheap/free access then these will serve instead of the online tests.

Tests and lab materials are available through the accompanying CD.

A big question when buying this though ought to be "will I still need it when I have passed the exam". Probably not, which makes buying a second-hand copy a good proposition.

I reckon that this book more than helped reinforce the course material.
