I have the book and used it towards my prep for the exam.
The Qs are too easy unlike the exam, the Reference/Study Sheets are
just reference and not study sheet..dont expect to pass the exam after
goin thru just the Study Sheets..
No Exhibits in the Practice Qs and Wrong Answers to some Qs as well.
Overall, I'd say ..use JD Vol I/II, Clark, DQoS by Odem, Online
reading for Security/Wireless and the Online Resource Page is a MUST.
Use the Flash Card book as a practice tool only towards the end of
your study and dont rely on it solely to pass the exam.
