Excellent Quick Review Tool

My study method requires me to review from texts such as these. They're short and outlines required knowledge efficiently. It's not designed to learn from just to review concepts about a week or less before the exam. Knowing that, topics are covered lightly since you should already be able to expand on them.

Enough if you have experience with Windows 95

I used this book and i passed the exam in three weeks. However it needs some improvement in Networking and System Policies. Some chapters should be removed, because they are no tested anymore. Thaks Ed.

Good book for someone with some experience already.

This is a good book for preparation, as long as you already know your way around Win95 and computers in general. It tells you what you need to know to pass the exam, but does not go into much detail or explanation. I used this book and the practice tests downloaded from Microsoft and passed the first time. If you are more advanced, you might be able to get away with just the O'Reilly book--it is VERY concise. But Exam Cram is a good middle ground: not as verbose as the Microsoft test prep books but offers a little more elaboration than O'Reilly. A little weak in interoperation/system policy type issues in large networks, but in all other exam areas I felt it provided a thorough prep.

A very good book to use in addition to the Win 95 Class.

I read this book along with taking the class in the same week. I took the test on Friday, the last day of class and PASSED with flying colors! I would recomend that you use this in addition to the class and if you work with 95 every day you should have no problem.

Excellent as a supplement

I just took the Win95 test, and passed it by the skin of my teeth. If this is the 'gimme' test, look out for the tough ones! I bought a CBT from an often-advertised company, and this book did more to prepare me than the CBT ever could. With a quality 'front end' training course or books, the test should be a snap. This was my first MCSE exam, and with the help of this guide I knew what to expect. There were even a few questions on the exam that were a part of the real exam. Keep in mind that the book I studied was for 70-63, and it is supposed to expire 4/23/98. DONT buy it unless you can verify that you are still able to take 70-63. If you are taking 70-64, keep in mind that there will be material that is NOT in the book, on the test. I have a library of Ed Tittel books, and I am sure more of the Exam Cram books will be added to my library in the coming months.
