Which MCSE/MCSA training kits to buy?

[Prophecy1]

Im currently looking at taking my MCSA/MCSE Certifications and well I was wondering if anyone here has used a kit to learn lately.

I was entertaining these books for months.

http://www.amazon.com/exec/obi...F1/102-1493282-9031308

However I read that the books are poorly written.

www.course.com has some books but no kits so that means I would have to pay around 65-100 a book but how do you know which ones you will really need.

If anyone has any ideas, please let me know.

Thanks

The blue ones with the red stripe (of 1/3 of the book) at the top.

"Global Knowledge Certification Press"

McGraw Hill...

erm.. isbn of 70-210 one I am reading right now is 0072123893

since I have gotten all the ones I need, I have no danger of saying they are very cheap on ebay and half.com

I have been getting 800-900ish using these books (mind you I work IT as well)

STAY CLEAR of the white ones with the blue stripe, yellow box, and the boat on it... I read about a chapter, and was confused as all hell.... I got the "core four" for $8 total, so I wasn't really expecting much.

Thats what you want. But go to like a nearby Barnes and Nobles and get the paperback kit. The hardbacks can get kind raggedy. I thinks its cheaper as well.

The study guide for 2003 is now white w/ red stripe on top. The ISBN for 70-290 is 0072223227. I had their guide for 70-215 and it did help me pass but the 2003 version is written by different authors.

I couldn't find any guide that has extensively good feedbacks like the one for CCNA from Sybex so I guess you just have to try it out.
