Don't want to make a $ mistake in buying bad study books.
From what little I know of WK2 training, -Sybex study Guide
MCSE: Windows 2000 Core Requirements
2nd 5CD edition, Published July 2001, ISBN 0782129501-
is the one to get. Although Microsoft has just come out with a new one in March of this year.
Has anyone used the sybex -MCSE: Windows 2000 Core Requirements Virtual Lab Published December 2001, ISBN 0782150195- ?
Thanks Geo

 
Whichever you get (I have MS ones) I'd compliment it with Transcender software. They had a deal where you'd get the core modual set of tests for something like $79 which was a great deal. Although I can't seem to find it now (I'm not looking too hard). Feel free to take a look at their site. I believe there's even some demos of the software so you can try it before you pay for it. I think it's a great set of software, although I wouldn't pay over $200 (I'm poor/cheap though).

Good luck with your studies
 
Brain Dumps, Exam Cram, and the Transcenders. If you can't pass with those, you don't need to take the tests. 🙂

Brain dumps can be useful to find out exactly what is on the test, but I wouldn't rely on them to provide solid answers. I have heard the Exam Cram's are not very good for the 2K track. Plus, apparently they are going under. Check out this link. The Transcender's are good. I used them to pass the Windows Accelerated exam (70-240) last year. To compliment the studying, I personally recommend taking some time and playing around on a test network, if you have the opportunity. Good luck!
 
I have used the Exam Prep and Cram and they are alright. If you are on a budget they might be the way to go because Corolis (the publisher) is going out of business and you should find their books pretty cheap now. The most important thing is not the publisher (while some are better they all have the same basic information) but the experience. Setup a little lab and get lots of hands on experience everything from install to administration of it. Most books have labs in them, these are good to do. Once you have done this and passed the test not only will you have a bunch of book lines memorized but you will have experience using the system.
