The book is missing 33 pages
The book was missing almost the entire chapter brake so I don't recommend buying this seller.

Not so sure
I had just taken 5 test past three, I checked with some of the info in this book after the test.I found little that correlated with the questions.
I passed the three, because the info did not change in those three areas in along time.
The others, material wasn't even close.
Am looking for another test booklet

Helpful. This is a "should-get" book
I bought this for my husband because of the reviews I read on it at Amazon and he needed a test prep book. He just took the ASE tests A1-A8 and passed them all Nov. '09. He has taken them before--I think twice.

His review:
"Yay. A beginner would definitely benefit from this book as well as taking the ASE practice tests that they offer online. I did both. I think the studying helped although there was not one question from all my studies including the online stuff that matched or were the same.But the concepts were there that I needed to get the textbook take on (as opposed to the real world take)".

A personal note from me: My husband is an excellent test taker anyway, so that helped. He was top of his class in auto school. He has worked in the auto field for 10 years, so he wasn't a "wet nose" starting out when he took the ASEs this time. This is the first time he has used this book.

Bottom line--my husband says this book helped him, but if you're looking for the exact questions and answers, you probably won't find them anywhere. This book requires you to use your brain, which you should be doing anyway instead of memorizing questions and answers.

The Medium-Heavy Duty Truck Technician Certification Test Prep Manual was extremely helpful for me!It provided all the study tools I needed to pass my exams.It's a great value as well.

Only good for someone who knows about trucks already

Compaq's server hardware ranks among the best in the business, which means it's been widely adopted into a variety of mission-critical applications. As a result, there's a large and lucrative market for technicians who can prove they know how to handle Compaq systems. That's the purpose of the Compaq Accredited Systems Engineer (ASE) rating, and Compaq ASE Certification Study Guide can help you earn yours. This book details the technologies, management skills, and Microsoft Windows integration facts you need to understand to do well on all three tests in the Compaq ASE battery.

Any book that has as much to do with hardware as this one is bound to show its age almost immediately, and indeed this book lacks detailed coverage of the latest developments in the Intel Pentium III microprocessor line. However, the authors (a team of MCSE- and ASE-certified experts) more than adequately cover the concepts and tools you need to understand the hardware. A careful editing job has resulted in a uniformly clear, didactic style that rewards the reader who is experimenting on a live system while reading along. Because this is a test-preparation aid, each chapter concludes with its most important facts bullet-pointed for easy review and a brief multiple-choice quiz. Answers to the quiz questions appear (with discussions of the correct answers) in an appendix, and you'll find a test simulator on the companion CD-ROM. --David Wall

Topics covered: The published exam objectives of the three Compaq ASE exams--Compaq Systems Technologies (exam 010-397), Compaq Systems Management (010-078), and Compaq/Windows NT Integration and Performance (010-067). Hardware, networks, and operating system integration all receive coverage, with a nice balance of theory and practice all around. Coverage of Compaq Insight Manager, SmartStart, and server management technology are all particularly strong. ... Read more

An very good resource
This book is a bit old, but if you work with older Compaq Servers as I do then it is fine.A valuable resource even if you do not intend to sit the Compaq ASE exams.

Compaq ASE Falls Short of Objectives
I agree with the other reviews of this book. It was published at a timewhere Compaq was switching between the old tests and the updated tests. TheCompaq ASE book was written before the Proliant 8000 and 8500 eight waysystems were released. It was also written with speculation on Windows2000. Those of you who are planning your ASE right now will notice that thesecond test (Windows NT Integration) has been renamed to Windows 2000Integration and covers the different versions of 2000 and such.

You cannot complete the ASE sequence with this book alone. Fortunately for me mypartner attended the classes so I have used his coursebooks for the updatedinformation and have passed the first two tests. We'll see how the thirdone goes next week.

I would have preferrred 942 blank pages.
Because at least I could have used it as a notebook at a later time. Ifeel sorry for the trees that had to be chopped down to provide the paperused in this book. This material is as useless a bicycle with square tires.This book is an embarrassment to Syngress what a complete waste of money.Do not buy this book under any circumstances. This book got a rating of 1because I could not go any lower

Don't waste your time with it
After using the Compaq courseware and this book I noticed that it does not have enough information to pass the exams. Some basic information (ex. numeric pages alert codes) is missing. I don't recommend it.

Don't bother
This book covers maybe 70% of the Systems Technolgy Exam, 50% of the NT Intergration Exam and 50% of the Systems Management Exam.Syngress and the author's should be embrassed to have this book still on the market.I wasbetter off buying the Exam Preps from Boson.Don't waste your time readthe useless information contained between the covers of this book.I havemade the decision not to use any of the Syngress books for any futurecertifications that I am pursuing. ...

A Powerful Resource
The P2 test was challenging in itself, so having a good resource going into the test, coupled with professional experience helped me to nail it. The guide is test preparation, not a training panacea. It truly PREPARES you for the TEST, with the core of information and test questions necessary to get ready for the test. Highly recommend!

i hated this book it was a waiste of my time energy and money the book was no help at all

Good place to start study for ASE test.
The manual provides a basic overview of automotive parts, general automotive application, and customer service procedures."Basic" knowledge essentials for ASE exam preparation!Why waste your money on ASE exam costs by just guessing, PREPARE!

Not for Begginer
This book has the same question as that of the test. It gives detailed about what is the right things to do, but the bad part to it is that all of the answer are in the wrong order. I do not recommend this to any begginner or entry level parts person who does not understand the true content of an ase test.
