Customer Reviews & Comments Bottom Line: This book was my only prep material and I passed the exam with a 90% (the exam is 97 questions, 90 minutes long, and you need 680 out of 900 to pass [the possible score range is 100-900]). The pros: Basically the only exam guide designed for the current version of the test. Long and full of information. Covers all competency areas that are on the exam. The cons: The book has a lot of mistakes in it. I don't necessarily mean incorrect information--more like proofreading and word processing errors. I saw at least 4 paragraphs where the paragraph had been copied and pasted twice in a row (like I would read a paragraph and then that same paragraph appeared "pasted" into the next paragraph). Also there are some errors in the review questions at the end of chapters--but relatively few when you figure there are over 350 review questions. Also the software practice exam had a couple of errors (like one question asked 'which of the following is not commonly used in a surveillance system?'. I didn't see any incorrect answers and the computer said CCTV was the answer but explained itself by saying that 'CCTV *is* commonly used in surveillance systems'). Also, the exam was *much* harder than both the review questions and the software test prep. But that's almost making the book sound like it wasn't an asset and that's just not true. Bottom line: I used this book and passed on my first attempt with a 90% the day after I finished reading it. If you are serious about taking this exam then get this book!
