Customer Reviews

Excellent book..I passed 70-680 after reading it first try5
This is an excellent study guide for the 70-680 exam. I spent about 2 weeks reading the book cover to cover and I was able to pass the exam on my first try with a score of 805. I have only been using Windows 7 Enterprise for about a month, so this book really helped me out. FYI the exam has NO SIMULATIONS at this time.

I would most certainly purchase another book by Orin Thomas!

I passed the MCTS 70-680 Exam on first attempt with 965/10004
Great book. CD-ROM test engine is great. I passed the MCTS 70-680 Exam with 965/1000. I prepared 5 days for the test. It was harder than the Vista test which I also passed on the first attempt but I studied more for this one and got a higher score.

Easy read4
I found this book to be quite a good read. Helped me pass my exam, which I got 93% for. As always there are more details than strictly needed for the exam, but its always better to over prepare than under prepare.
