I teach Office products to Soldiers and am always looking for ways to perfect my knowledge. This book, along with the CD helped me verify what I thought I knew and helped me learn a few tips and tricks. My favorite part is the CD, with multiple, multiple question tests, I was able to quickly identify shortcomings and address them using the book. I will be taking the PowerPoint 2007 Exam right after Christmas with Word to follow. Excellent choice, better than the Microsoft version which I also purchased.

I can't say that I did not learn somethings about the Office programs. But if you think this book will ace you the exam, forget it. The book prepares you with multiple choice questions for each section and the practice exams give you more of the same. But the actual exam is practical. You have to perform as series of tasks, so you had better know how to do it. Microsoft's website has some videos on the subject and at the end of each video they give you the option of doing something to re-enforce what you learned. This is a better method. While the book does have some practice exercises it is not enough in my opinion. It is however one of the cheaper books available and perhaps a good start.

4.0 out of 5 stars A good tool, May 24, 2010

This review is from: MCAS Office 2007 Exam Prep: Exams for Microsoft Office 2007 (Paperback)

This book is a good tool. But no one tool can do every job. I have read some of the other reviews that point out that "The MS tests are practical and this book teaches question based." That statement is correct.

However, this book will tell you how to do the practical things. And if you read it along with your computer, you can try them as you read them. While the book doesn't explicetly point this out, I find it common sense that when the book is walking me step by step through a process I have never done before, to work along with it.

This book is one good tool for your tool box. And just like any good mechanic, you should never only have 1 tool in your box.

As for me, I easily passed my first of the MOS 2007 exams(formerly named MCAS), and plan to go back for another in about 6-8 months when I am finished with MCSA, Security+, and MSDST.
