Books Are Good, Practice Exams are Utterly Error-Riddled.
12/13/2007
Read the books: they're easy to read and explanatory.
If you're hoping on practice exams buy from another publisher. The ones provided my Measure Up are full of errors. The font size they use is tiny and not resizeable.
When asked about the errata for the practice exam I was told by Measure Up to just look up microsoft kb articles to check the validity of the answer -- when I said I shouldn't need to look up the questions to be able to trust their validity the customer service agent basically told me I'd only need to do that if I was knowledgeable.
I'd really stay away from this if you want it for the practice exams.
Not what was ordered and no replacement availiable...

I ordered this book set and another book at the same time, from Amazon, and got free shipping. This book set came NEW as advertised. However it came with (1) 290 book, (1) 291 book (0) 293 books, and (2) 294 books. A mis-packaged set. I returned it only to find out I couldn't get a replacement - Amazon is out of stock. Now I can place a new order, from someone else, and pay $14.00 more for the same item. Not the bargain I was looking for. Amazon's response was in effect 'Oh well.' Even though I assume the mis-packaged set was not on purpose, the outcome is the same as the old 'bait and switch.' It would have been acceptable to say they would ship it when they received new stock, but that wasn't even offered.
Good but out dated

I don't know how I'll fare on the exams, but these books are easy to understand, well laid out, and thorough. If you follow the exercises, you can't help but learn the material well.
Microsoft is finally getting it right. These "Blue Books" used to really suck before. My skepticism has been put to rest.
