Just failed the CX-310-200 (Rating 1 of 5)
» Out the money
If you use this book as your primary study guide, expect to fail the exam. I used this book, on line training from Sun, and the Transcender test prep for this exam. I just took the exam and came away with a score of 50%. I've taken 10 other certification exams in my technical career (passing all of them on the first attempt) and this is the first one that I have failed
Poor book for certification exam (Rating 2 of 5)

The Solaris part 1 exam covered topics not included in this book.
Positive reviews of this book are misleading and outdated.
I saw many questions in the exam concerning dual boot, fssnap, ufsrestore, etc. that were not even covered in the book. I was not happy with this book after taking the test.
Too many typos in the book and practice exam to consider this a reliable source. Look elsewere for help with certification. Decent general Solaris info, but there are better books to assist admins on install, disk setup, backup and restore strategies
Not as good as most people think (Rating 2 of 5)

I just took the part 1 exam (CX-310-200) today - 4/28/08 - and passed. So why only two stars? The book covered about 40% of the questions / materials on the actual test. The practice questions at the end of each chapter did not come close to representing the actual test. The practice exam on the CD did not come close either.
It was my years of experience working with Solaris that helped me pass the test.
If you are new to Solaris, do not depend on this book as the only study guide. If you do, even if you can memorize the book word for word, you WILL NOT PASS.
I bought this book with high expectations, but I am disappointed.
I am going to be looking for additional study materials to help me prepare for the part 2 exam
Careful (Rating 3 of 5)

I wasn't solaris certified before reading this book. Luckily I had ~10 years of experience with linux administration before taking this test. The book had a bunch of answers incorrect in the back of some sections. It's good for an overview, and it has some good examples, but I wouldn't recommend it for strict study. You need to do make sure you have access to Solaris machines for practice implementing the highlights
