I cannot recommend this book. It states that it covers 100% of the exam objectives, but this is not the case. If you attempt the exam on this belief you are wasting your money not just on the book but also on the exam attempt. On top of this it has so many mistakes - to the point you second-guess everything it says.
Save your money and don't buy this book. Your money is better spent on other study methods.
This book doesn't cover all of the exam objectives, and for the ones it does cover it does not go NEARLY in depth enough to be helpful. In fact there are many pages in the book where it glosses over a topic and tells you to go do research on it for the exam.
This book is probably fine for someone who has never used server 2012, but not for someone studying for the MCSA.
**NOTE: I passed my exams, so I am not salty about this book. However, the only reason I passed is because after taking a practice exam I realized that I needed to do find other study materials.
