I ordered this book after reading reviews of the 70-680 MS Press Training Kit book, and the other 6 reviews of this book. I scheduled my test a week and a half out after finishing the Training Kit book and taking 3 practice tests and reviewing the areas I was not getting good scores in on the practice tests. I then read horror story reviews of the Training Kit book on and felt I may not be as prepared as I need to be for the test I'd already scheduled. Several of the good reviews of the Training Kit book pointed to this as a good companion to read leading up to the test. As others have stated, it reads fast and is light (~200pgs) and smaller, so it can be easily thrown in a backpack or laptop bag. I'd read several pages during downtime at work, over lunch, and at home. I finished it prior to taking my real exam. I even reviewed some things in the car prior to taking my test. It is a no BS book, and gets right to the areas you need. The setup of the book is in the same order of the Training Kit book, all topics are in the same chapter and order. It is basically a bunch of True/False questions that are asked about each area, some very easy, some a little more tricky. It is kind of stupid that the answer is listed on the very next line, making it very easy to glance at while you are reading the question. It's way better than putting them in the back of the book though and always having to flip back and forth, but I'd almost prefer that they push it to the next page so your eyes aren't drawn to it so easily. One thing I did was take a bunch of sticky notes before reading a section or chapter and put them over the answers so I wasn't able to "cheat" at an answer.
