I haven't taken the exam yet, but the book's content seems pretty good so far. However, in the Kindle edition that I purchased, there are so many typos and grammatical mistakes that it doesn't seem like anyone proofread it. I'm not looking for perfection, I realize that this isn't great literature and that these books need to be released quickly to keep pace with the technologies, but they could certainly improve it with minimal effort.
At best, the typos and mistakes are distracting, at worst, the phrasing and grammar is awkward and leaves you questioning how to interpret some of the statements.
Furthermore, some of the materials (source data spreadsheets) required for the tutorials are not available on the publisher's website as stated in the book which makes it pretty much impossible to follow along with portions of the tutorials.
It seems like it could be a pretty good study book, but it could certainly use some refinement.
