The book's authors seem to know very little about UML and RUP, nor do they seem to care about the material. It's written in a sophmoric, disjointed style, somewhat akin to a kid copying sections of a report out of the dictionary. You will learn nothing about analysis and project management, at least nothing that will make much sense, except perhaps to use the made up Microsoft terms for everything instead of the common terms.
In as far as the test goes, I can only hope that the book is not as inadequate as people make it out to be. Since MS seems to be renaming everything in order to impose their branding, I hope at least to use it to pick up their lingo so I can have a chance to understand the questions and answers on the test. I give it two stars because it makes no pretense of being a primer for anything but the test, and for project's sake -- don't look at it as being a primer for anything else.  Go get another book if you want to pass the exam,

The exam contains mainly case studies and this book gives only one of them from start to finish. The exam is mainly a comprehension sort of exam where you read the passage and answer the questions. So get a book that have those case-studies.confusing, vague, ambiguous, and difficult to read,
October 01, 2005 This book uses words pretty loosely, and frequently confuses the readers. Explanations are not clear. Material is incoherent. Microsoft's proofreaders, reviewers, and/or editors did a poor job on this book. Buying it is a waste of money. Please look elsewhere.Pragmatic system construction guide,
June 28, 2005 This guide describes MSF (Microsoft Solutions Framework) a methodology for building systems which Microsoft recommends. MSF includes mainly a process model, a team model, an application construction model and a deployment / supportability model.
MSF has similarities with other methodologies for software construction and includes things as use cases, object modeling, etc.
MSF is quite different from other methodologies; less formal than CMM; not object based as OOAD; not for extremely small teams like Crystal Clear.
The key value of MSF is its practical nature, it may however not be your best bet if the system you are developing has very heavy documentation requirements, depends on a sequential life cycle or you live in an organization at odds with the team model proposed.
