Ccsa Next Generation Check Point( TM) Certified Security Administrator Study Guide (Exam 156-210) [With CDROM]

I came across this book few months ago when I needed to get more insight on Checkpoint. It turned out to be an excellent investment. The CD alone is worth far more than the book. The knowledge I have acquired in the book helped me to upgrade my knowledge in Checkpoint. Dr. Israel King, MCSE, MCDBA, CIW, MBA, Ph.D. Teacher, writer. Author of How To Keep A Man

The CCSA study guide is a good, but not perfect training guide for the CCSA exam. As others have noted, this should not be one's sole guidebook for any type of exam preparation.As to the book's claim of `100% Coverage', it does cover all of the major subject requirements for the exam. But this coverage can be scanty at times. The book comes with a CD-ROM that includes an HTML version of the book and test preparation software. The software tests are simply Q & A repeats from the book itself. With that, the CD-ROM does give the potential test taker a real-world feel for the test.Overall, the book is a good supplement to the Check Point documentation and other on-line resources. It should be not used as the sole guide for the test, since it is not comprehensive enough for that. That is not a knock for the book, but simply a reality since the test is far too broad to be covered in depth in a single book.Overall, a very good study guide, but make sure to cross-reference it with other materials.

I picked this one up recently and found that the coverage, while lacking in one or two areas, was decent. I used it, along with the other Syngress book on Check Point, and was very prepared for the exam. IMO this is not a bad purchase, and will help you in your studies.

According to my understanding, The Certtrainer & ExamSim CR-ROM does not contain lab simulations and CBT software as advertised on front and back hardcover page.
