Michael Jang is 2 for 2
First linux+ and now this, both books have been great. Michael Jang is now 2 for 2 in my eyes. I read Toby Maginnis book as well, but this one was much easier reading. Read it in 3 days. It is all quick reading, and down to the point. It gives you the information you need to pass the test the first time. Working with linux part time for 6 months, I passed the test in 15 minutes with a 90%. Keep writing books Michael, i'm looking forward to more in the future.

the best by far
Then I bought this book and beleive me it's one of the best linux books around even with the fact that it's just an exam cram book. I did the installation and configuration exam once and failed it at 68% without doing any reading but I've been working with linux servers for 6 years now. I've learned a lot by reading this book. It's well organized and well written and covers alomst everything that is in the exam. After reading the entire book in 1 week, I did the exam again and passed with 90%!! So if there is 1 book you have to read before doing the exam, it's this book!.

Great Book Fulfilled all my expectation
I did the hour long test in about 30 minutes and passed it with points to spare, using this book as my sole study material. This book covered, almost 100 percent of the subjects I encountered on the test. Admittedly I've been doing Unix System Admin for a couple of years, but this is the least UNIX like of all the Linux tests. It focuses mostly on Linux specific components lilo, boot order, disaster recoery etc. This book covered it all. The quiz questions can be a little infuriating (tricky), but you calm down when you realize how much they force you to concentrate on the subject matter. Buy it and study it and you'll pass the test.
