    70-228 Exam Books

    Hi All - I'm looking at preparing myself for the 70-228 exam and am looking around for a good book.

    Does anyone who has sat this exam have any recommendations? From going through Amazon all the books seem to be slammed by user reviews

    Thanks in advance

    A book or two is ok to get you started, but what really makes the difference is actually using it. It wil help
    dramatically for you to understand where the utilities are and what and how they are used. A book can show you the
    syntax, but experience will teach you the points needed to pass the exam. The exam has some interactive
    questions where you do some tasks that will either be correct or incorrect. You cant learn that from a
    book. Maybe try Trancender.com for some test software. That may help bridge the gap. Good luck

    Ps, if you do get a book, get at least two from different authors because books are wrong some of the time.

    I agree with RobDog, Transcender is the best exam prep I've ever used.

    As far as actual books go, I've purchase several of the Exam Cram series, and they are not too bad.
