This book covers every exam objective, but it does not cover every exam question. Only the Microsoft exam team has access to the exam questions themselves, and Microsoft regularly adds new questions to the exam, making it impossible to cover specific questions. You should consider this book a supplement to your relevant real-world experience and other study materials. If you encounter a topic in this book with which you do not feel completely comfortable, use the links in the text to find more information and take the time to research and study the topic. Great information is available on TechNet, Channel 9, product team blogs, and online forums.
