Pretty good book. Good update to the series (I own/have read the 3rd edition). This is the 4th edition, which adds some new things and cleared up a few things as well.
I enjoyed the practice questions and I am happy that the online test bank works very well (registering gives you access to the online material for 1 year).
It includes not only the questions from the book but an additional practice exam.
The book is quite thorough in most of the topics it covers and written quite well. The chapters are about the right size to do one in about 30 minutes - an hour session.
I tried reading one chapter a day and stuck to that until the very end where the chapters are much shorter.

The best book for anyone with less than 2 years of Linux power user experience. Even if you don't plan on taking the certificate, this is The Book. It explains everything with examples in easy to follow and interesting way. Compared to the popular How Linux Works - What Every Superuser Should Know, this is leagues above.
These two authors also wrote the well known and must read Linux Command Line and Shell Scripting Bible.

The book appears to be very good, but we'll see after the exam February 18th. I'll update it then.
