Customer Reviews & Comments
The one thing that I do with *all* of my certification exams is to condense the reference materials down to a 40-50 page study guide that I use for myself. It was no different with this book. If I fail the exam, I make sure to remember what I had trouble with so that I can go back to the book, look up the topics at hand, put it into my study guide, study further and pass the exam. This has been a flawless method thus far. With this exam, I was completely lost the first time through, although I only failed by about two questions out of 75; so I went back through the book to read up on the topics that gave me problems. It turns out that some of the topics that are covered in the exam are not mentioned **anywhere** in this book. This book claims 100% coverage. I think that the authors need to be legally cited for false advertising, because this book in NO way provides 100% coverage. By my estimate, it provides perhaps 65-75% coverage. I had to fill in the gaps by using the FireWall-1 administration manual and the Internet, since I could not find anything in the book! Additionally, few of the ExamSim questions on the CD-ROM were relevant to the exam; however, the format of the ExamSim is nothing like the actual exam. The actual exam is a combination of multipe choice, multiple answer, and "select the best answer for the given scenario" with network diagrams and rule base examples. The ExamSim was 100% text-based, multiple choice ONLY and **in no way** was accurate to how the actual exam is presented. At least my company reimbursed me for the purchase. I do feel badly because my company wasted the test fee on my first failed exam. Had the authors of this book not lied about its "100% coverage" and had the ExamSim been accurate as to how the exams are really delievered, I might have passed and my company might not have lost that exam fee. In short, do not use this book except as a supplement to real experience and actual Check Point material. If you rely solely on this book to pass your exam, you're doomed to fail.
