MCSA Windows 10 Study Guide: Exam 70-698

I took and passed the 70-698 today. I don't work in an enterprise environment and this is the only book I purchased for the exam, but I spent a LOT of time digging deeper into topics on my own and using Hyper-V to get hands-on.The only errors I noticed were in the NTFS permissions area of the book: The end-of-chapter quiz answers did not match up with material in the chapter. (mostly pertaining to the modify permission) I just ignored that part, studied permissions elsewhere, and moved on.Found it to be generally informative and well laid out. The quizzes at the end of the chapters were helpful and the Q&A sections are well written so that I learned more from my incorrect answers than I did the answers I got right the first time through.The online material is certainly worth checking out, at least it was for me.You can setup flashcards, quizzes, and practice tests. Don't expect a lot of variety here, but use them as intended. Start with the flashcards to help saturate your brain and figure where you need to focus. The online practice quizzes are straight up from the end-of-chapter quizzes, so kinda bleh, but good review. Save the online practice tests for when you think you are close and use them to identify any weak areas. I learned a lot here.While the online material really helped me learn and identify where my knowledge was lacking, not as much as I expected was on the actual exam. But seriously, who can predict what you are going to face at the exam? (I was expecting subnetting-related questions but did not encounter one)I think this would be very helpful to someone looking to pass the exam, but don't rely on it entirely. Be sure to take the author's advice and learn how to do things Powershell-style.I can say without a doubt it was a worthy purchase.

Well written and good instruction, but it says it has online flashcards, quizzes, and videos...When I log in to wiley.com, and use the pass code from the book, I really can't describe how lame it is.It is 100 random flashcards. And it will let you write your own quiz questions. That's it.....I am starting to think the video was transferred to youtube, but the authors page just has 20 random videos....I think the videos are about a variety of subjects, but the titles are too general to be sure.Labeling each video for this book with 70-698 or Windows 10 would make my studying much easier.I am fine with the videos being on youtube, but that is not where the book says to access them and they need to be organized.

I say this is a good cursory overview of the exam. I studied less than 10 hours. I did not take the practice exams in this book (I used mesureup) but I did find this a helpful resource. The end of chapter reviews are helpful.This book is good at hitting the facts you need to know - slmgr.vbs and its command switches, powershell commands, upgrade paths and options (hint hint).

Passed the exam but the book doesn't cover it all. However, it's the best one out there for this exam. Sign up for the test banks (on the last page of the book) and take the tests over and over until you're scoring 100%. Also visit the Microsoft Virtual Academy and watch the "Preparing for Exam 70-698" course. Finally, if there is a Microsoft Technology Center near you, look for the free "Planning and Deploying Windows 10 in the Enterprise" event and you can get a free full day of training direct from Microsoft. It took me five months to study and pass this exam.

I want to deepen my knowledge of Win10

Book seems to be pretty comprehensive , looking forward to finishing it so I can take the MCDS Windows 10 Exam

Great text. Very granular in presenting information. Far more dense and comprehensive than any popular video series could ever be. I’m totally prepared for the exam.

Great material. Im also going through his StormWind training series and William is a great author and instructor. Planning to take the exam in about 8 weeks and I'm very confident in my ability to pass with this material.

Gracias por la atencion, buen producto, buen servicio, es lo que esperaba, sigan adelante con esta atención, saludos desde Guadalajara, Jalisco.

まだ70-698の日本語版の本が未発売だったので試験参考に電子版を購入しました。　試験にでる内容に近い部分がちゃんと載っているので合格いたしました。

Badly and hurriedly written, skips important info you need to know and just carries on with waffle, dreadul and horrific waste of money

This review concerns the MCSA Windows 10 Study Guide: Exam 70-698, Print edition, Price at review £26.89.Having purchased and used previous versions of these manuals and those published by Microsoft for Windows 95 and 98 I was interested to see how they have progressed.Running to 553 pages including a thirteen page table of contents plus a comprehensive thirty-four page Index my first thought was that this volume is somewhat smaller than my previous versions - I assume that is down to the latest OS being much more compact and more user friendly.Whilst this volume is expressly designed to prepare the ‘student’ for eventual sitting of the MCSA, as a consumer i have found it to be the ultimate User Guide for the OS.In addition to the printed book, which includes many Exercises - online Sample Tests, Flashcards and Videos etc can be found at the publishers web site.An extremely valuable resource for both students and others presented in a logical, easy style with many illustrations to accompany the text.

Sybex has been around a long time. They are probably the number 2 exam book provider after Microsoft. However in my opinion where they beat Microsoft is that it the information is a lot more accessible. As in its easier to understand. Microsoft books have a tendency to go into too much depth and you can end up spending an entire evening on a couple of pages of a microsoft book. Sybex is more practical. It has a definite starting point and reading them is a bit like going through a series of exercises. Very easy to understand and you just follow along in your locally installed version of the software. Where Sybex falls down compared to Microsoft is you don't get a copy of the software with the 3 month trial licence. For that reason I have taken away one star. However in terms of covering the objectives and being a really easy to read and understand study guide that will get you through the exams, Sybex is number one in my opinion.So all in all I highly recommend this new Sybex study guide. And as we all know its not an either or choice of qualifications or experience. You need both and this will help you stay ahead of the pack!If this review was helpful please click yes
