Each Training Guide will be organized around the exam objectives. This makes it very easy for readers to focus on areas where they need to improve. It also helps them identify what the key topics on the exam will be. The MCSD Solution Architectures Training Guide is a fine, well-thought-out, solidly put together book on software construction. It's thorough–detailing everything that can affect the independent programmer from UI considerations to how to tell whether a company is getting ready to downsize. It even has the rare quality of being enjoyable to read. There's only one problem: it might not help you pass the test. While it's a very good introduction to the issues surrounding the MCSD: SA test, the book is a large (600-page) mass of information that lacks a critical focus on the hot spots that routinely come up on tests. The information is, by and large, presented all at once without any weighting, as if every fact were as crucial as every other fact–which, from a test-taker's perspective, is demonstrably not true.
