3.0 out of 5 stars Average IT book, unfortunately., August 1, 2002

By

This review is from: CCA Citrix Metaframe: Citrix Metaframe XP 1.0 Administration (Hardcover)

I just sat for this exam -- my 28th IT exam, and the second one I prepped for with a sybex book (the other being CCDA). Having seen past reviews, I decided to keep track of the amount of questions on my test that weren't covered in the book at all. There were nine, on a 40 question exam. In my opinion, that's pretty bad. Luckily I had run through a number of boson practice exams that covered the missing information. A number of practice questions on the CD focus around 'What tab will you find this on..' and interface navigation. This is silly, and I was pleased to not find these types of questions on the real exam. However, this only serves to lower my opinion of the CD. I'd probably try and find a different resource for this exam. Actually, I *did* try to, but this was a weekend project and I couldn't find anything else in stock.

Believe me, I read the book, I remember every detail in it. It's incomplete. Anyone who could give this book 5 stars is not well exposed to good IT documentation or certification efforts.

5.0 out of 5 stars Top Notch Study Guide, May 21, 2002

By 

Steven D (USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: CCA Citrix Metaframe: Citrix Metaframe XP 1.0 Administration (Hardcover)

The book is focused exactly on the criteria Citrix has identified as test material. I found it easy to read, concise and well documented. The materials they provide with the book are excellent. If you are studying for this test, this is THE book to buy. My thanks to the Authors for helping me pass my exam. Of note... I emailed several questions to the authors and received same day responses and explanations.

3.0 out of 5 stars Just not enough to pass the test, June 9, 2003

By 

Jim Gibbs (Huntsburg, OH United States) - See all my reviews

This review is from: CCA Citrix Metaframe: Citrix Metaframe XP 1.0 Administration (Hardcover)

I've used a number of this Series of Books to pass my MCSE tests and CCNA, but this book just didn't cut it. I estimate that it was missing 30 percent of the questions asked on the test. I don't expect the book to cover everything possible for the test, but 70% of the information was completely unacceptable.
