Sybex Cert Guides

For all of the heavily certified guys (and gals) out there. Is Sybex the way to go for self study or is there anything better out there.

For which test?

MCSE, CISSP, CISM, certifications in general. I know that some people have their preferences and I'm just curious to know what they are.

It really depends. For some tests, Sybex makes the better book. In a lot of cases, it's the MS Press, the Cisco Press, etc, that are better. The best advice I can give you is to take it on a case-by-case basis. Go take a look at the books in the bookstore, read the reviews, and make a decision based on what book works best for you. You might even find that neither Sybex or the manufacturers' press books are the right ones.

For most of my Certs I used MS press and as additional reading ExamCram + transcender

At least this is what works for me

Kind regards.

Sybex makes an excellent book for the CWNA exam. In addition to the official CWNA Study Guide, it's the one book that comes the closest to having all of the information needed to pass the CWNA exam.
