I ordered this book the day it was released.It only arrived a week ago, so if the other folks here read the 924 pages, watched all the videos, completed all the practice tests and flashcard, and successfully completed the official exams (claims of "I PASSED!),well they are better speed readers than I.I'm only about half way through the book, but wanted to highlight my experience so far.--------------------------PROS:The book is well organized.It outlines the goals of each test, with specific quotes you'd normally have to scour Microsoft's website to obtain.There is much additional downloadable material([...] included with the purchase.These include video demonstrations of specific tasks outlined in each chapter.Practice questions with answers, to be completed at the completion of each chapter.And a practice exam for each of the tests this book covers.Flashcards and Glossary.--------------------------CONS:Each of the tests 70-410,70-411,70-412, have overlapping material.While the goals for each test are clearly outlined, and the appropriate chapters are noted, there is a great deal of information that overlaps.If you are under a time constraint, know this will dramatically slow down the process of studying for each specific test.Example. If you want to study specifically for test 70-410, Chapter 2 on DNS is required reading. Unfortunately all the information for 70-411 & 70-412 are tightly intertwined with the 70-410 information you really initially needed.Added DAYS to my study time.Test 70-410 is listed as needing chapters: 1,2,3,4,5,8,9,10,13,14,16,17. I was expecting first test, first chapters, not skipping around.
