Using the downloadable resources offered as a companion, I should have been able to pass both exams without issue based on my results from there. Unfortunately, I just missed passing 102 both times I took it (~3 questions shy and 1 question shy). There seems to be quite a bit covered in the book that isn't on the exam and vice versa. I do NOT recommend this (especially considering that the versions of the exams this is for are being retired on Monday, 31 August 2015).
