Microsoft MCSE Readiness Review: Exam 70-098, Implementing and Supporting Microsoft Windows 98 [With CDROM]

With the release of Windows 98 most people in the computer industry could not find any dramatic changes. The exam 70-098 that gives you the MCP for Windows 98 wasn't regarded as a prominent certification and for the most part overlooked by many. This book will have you ready for the exam and get the MCP you desire.In the 325-page book Microsoft Press covers the exam from top to bottom. Each section is laid out in a format that will have you ready to go live in a matter of weeks. Written by Windows 98 engineers, the exam may have met its match.Covering topics like Planning, Installing, Configurations, Management, Monitoring, and Troubleshooting, each exam objective has been met with the information presented. There is also an abundance of practice test questions in the book that will make taking the live test easier.Included in the book is a Self-Test Software package to give you even more questions. The software was easy to install and mo major complications in the configuration. The software has a nice interface and is easy to get up and running in minutes. Overall you have what you need to pass the exam, I think that there could be more questions on the cd and an interactive tutorial might also be a nice addition. For the money this package is a good value.

This is a good book if you have been working with Win98 and networks (especially Novell) for some time and your ready to take the Win98 Exam. It had some good questions that I hadn't seen before. The CD included in the book had a great test, but lacked the simulations I faced on the real test. Nevertheless, I think it was a good buy.

This book is a good additional book to have to study for the Windows 98 test. The questions are very similar in format and difficulty to the actual test. You will need additional study materials. I had the Resource Kit and The Top Riders Guide by Casad. I passed the test today.

I'm someone with no IT work experience who just passed 70-98 as my very first MCP exam. As I prepared for the test, I had serious doubts as to whether this product would give me an accurate preview of what the real test would be like. I was very pleasantly surprised to find that I was extremely well prepared! Unless you have TONS of experience networking Windows 98, you should really consider this package, particularly for the price! I found the questions to be as difficult, if not MORE difficult then most of the real exam questions. I'll put it this way - I didn't pass this Readiness Review test until the DAY BEFORE my real test!However, you should obviously not rely on just this. I also used the Sybex and Syngress/Osbourne study guides, with the MS Windows 98 training kit for reference, and then the Exam Cram to finish up.If you want more info, read the reviews for the "Networking Essentials" Readiness Review - I feel those comments apply here as well, and I just bought that one for test #2!

Microsoft has put out another good book on Windows 98. This is a great book to test your knowledge. Do not, however, use it as a stand alone study resource. I used this book in conjunction with the Windows 98 Training kit and the Windows 98 Resource kit. I passed my first time around. I would recommend for anyone who wants to get a feel for the 98 exam.
