Summary: Too many mistakes
Comment: Seems to have decent coverage of the topics and does have plenty of useful information. However, as noted in other reviews, the book contains a substantial number of inaccuracies, many of which could mislead the reader toward incorrect answers on the exams.

Summary: Don't waste your money
Comment: This is easily the worst book I've ever seen in terms of test prep. I took the exams based upon their "preparation" and failed abysmally, then took them again using another book and passed with flying colors.
The book is full of inaccuracies. Many of the code examples don't work or even compile as written. The explanations of the authors are terse, especially for the advanced subjects, betraying their own ignorance. Worst of all, each exam section covers at most half of the actual information you will see on the exams. None of the things listed as exam tips were even mentioned on any exam I took.
Finally, the prep software that comes with the book uses questions directly from the back of the chapters, so you don't get any new questions. And many of the correct answers are misspelled or syntactically incorrect, which misleads you into thinking the answer is wrong.
Don't even bother to get this piece of crap. Get the study guides from Que instead. They're 1000% better.

Summary: The authors themselves must have failed the exams
Comment: There are definitely loads of typos, but the real danger lie in those downright wrong statements such as can be found in the Test Answers on page 119:
- "The array constructor cannot take an explicit size parameter as well as initialization."
- "Events must be declared as static"
And then, "Any delegate that is declared as public void is a multicast delegate", which is okay per se, but then what's the point of this statement? there is no relation whatsoever with being "public void" and multicast delegate.
With such a poor knowledge of .NET framework, how many bugs these guys must have helped to introduce into the apps they wrote for their customers? I wonder!
