The Bottom Line

Transcender now offers study guides as an add-on option to their popular exam preparation software. The study guides cost $40 and are worth the money. If you are looking for a targeted study tool that focuses on the exam objectives, then this is the product you should buy. Although this review is for the 70-291 Study Guide, it can be assumed that all Transcender study guides will display the same features and quality.

Guide Review - Transcender Study Guide for Microsoft Exam 70-291

Are you looking for a targeted approach to study that will run through each test objective and really, truly help you pass your exam? You may have just found exactly the product you have been seeking. Each study guide is a basic ring-bound book that takes a no-frills approach to preparing for your exams. The text is geared directly towards presenting the material outlined in the test objectives and makes good use of screenshots. Each screenshot is explained in detail and any associated processes are presented step-by-step. Each chapter includes a Scope, Focused Explanation, and Review Checklist.
It is important to note that is is sold in addition to the exam preparation software or as part of a study package. You will need experience and other study tools to pass the 70-291 exam. The guide is designed to run you through your paces to ensure that you are prepared for the exam. It is not as comprehensive as a book or training. That said, this is a great product that I highly recommend.
