I recommend this book as an excellent review tool for the 210 exam. Extensive hands on use of 2000 Pro and/or another book is needed to be prepared for the exam though. It covers the topics that you need to know in an easy to read manner, but without much depth. If you are already familiar with Windows 2000, then this book will do the job by itself.

Windows 2000 Professional Exam Notes is definitely the best exam notes book that I have ever read. Matthew Sheltz is a great new addition to the James Chellis team. This book is extremely readable, and conveys a ton of useful information in a really concise manner. The "key terms and concepts" and "sample questions" sum up the information in a way that makes studying a breeze! Thanks to this book I have no doubt that I will pass the Professional Exam. If you are interested in taking this test, puchasing this book will be the best $24.99 you have ever spent! 5 STARS!

I have found Sybex books very helpful when preparing for MCSE certification exams. A combination of reading this book, hands on experience and taking transcender pretest exams helped me score a 900 on this exam in April of 2003.
If you are pursuing your Windows 2000 MCSE a word of advice, don't stop and start. Set a goal with a time frame and get it done. It's much easier to pass the next exam when there isn't a large time gap between the previous.
