    I was quite disappointed in the book. Although much of the information in the book could be generally useful, there is really very little that is direcly applicable to the exam.

    As an example, chapter 3 describes the various development models under the Microsoft Solution Framework, but there are no questions on this in the exam!

    Bottom line, don’t rely on this book to help you pass 70-100.

    The book was just a bunch of chit-chat. The exam involves diagramming, modeling, etc; none of which was covered in the book. Many details of other topics were overlooked. Try Transcender.

    I’ve used Exam Cram books on other exams and was impressed by their helpfulness for my exams. However, this book sorely disappointed me. This book did not help at all. I recommend not buying this book.

    If you have never analyzed requirements or defined solution architectures in an organizational setting, this is a good starting point. However, if you have a beginning knowledge, and believe you are ready to prepare for the 70-100…this book will not help you at all!

    The questions in this book are nothing like the actual exam questions! If you are looking for a text that will be helpful, try the New Riders. The format of the questions on the CD in the New Riders book is very similar to some of the questions on the actual exam. Plus, the New Riders does a better job of getting you prepared for the format of the exam.

    Best Resource for exam preparation: Transcender…BAR NONE!

    This book is not designed for beginners. Unless you have lots of experience designing and architecting solution architectures, you will definitely need additional supplementation materials to pass the 70-100 exam! This book just skims the surface of the knowledge needed to pass the exam, so if you do not have the knowledge base needed you should supplement this study guide with a more detailed book. Also, the book does a poor job actually preparing you for the type of questions on the test; it would be very beneficial to supplement it with practice tests from companies such as Transcender.

    Overall, the book is not enough to pass the 70-100 test!
