Do the Job
I use it in conjunction with Boson Unix tests and was able to pass both exams on the first try!

The Best Solaris 9 Book Out There
This book is clearly written, with useful examples that seemed to anticipate the questions that I was forming before I could even completely articulate them. The text prepared me well for the practice exams, which prepared me well for the actual exam.

All hail Quentin Docter and the Cybex Study Guides!

Excellent Buy...
I have been through all of the certification books for Solaris 9 and this one by far offers the most for your money. I was so happy to find it. I would recommend this book along with the Exam Cram book.
