The older PC book was yellowed and smelled bad - fortunatley there was a CD - I threw the book out - chapters are on the CD as PDF files - seller should mention if a book is really bad as far as odor from being old - glad it came with a CD however

This book is a wonderful book. I used it as a supplement to 3 years experience as well as a course and the MOC. I passed the exam on the first try with a large margin. I attribute this book with alleviating stress and assisting me technologically. This was my first MS Exam and this book also did a great job telling me what to expect and how to prepare.

The reviews on this book seem to vary greatly. What can I say? I scored a 918 on the exam after using this book and a tiny bit of detailed info from the Resource kit. I use NO Novell networking at work and my test was 90% Novell networking questions so I have to give the book credit.

I've taken a Windows 95 course and studied this book prior to taking the 070-064 Exam. This book had very little in it to prepare me for the exam which I failed. This book needs to be retired and a new one written to prepare you for the new Windows 95 Exam.

This book was the only book I used to pass my Win95 test (70-63). Anyone who thinks that they can come in cold, buy a book and have all the answers to pass the test is an idiot. If you don't do the hands on work you will not pass. If you combine this book with some hands-on real world experience you should have no problem passing the exam. The publisher does need to incorporate more of the scenario type troubleshooting questions, but the subject matter was right on.

This book is not for the serious MSCE Candidate. It is full of the authors' opinions instead of the facts that you need to know to pass the exam. The Review Questions were much too easy and were poorly written. I passed the exam, however I credit the MS Resource Kit with providing the information necessary to understand the material and pass the exam.

Already having several years of solid experience with Windows 95, this book was a good aid to my passing the Windows 95 exam. It is well laid out and easy to read; my only cricticism is that is a little repetitious between chapters at some points. Having a PC to play with whilst studying is almost essential as you read the book. I would recommend the book to others without a doubt - read the book cover to cover, do the practice tests and use the handy objectives list and you should comfortably pass the exam.

This book was much better than another I had used (tho after taking - and passing! - the test I thought it could have been more complete in the Novell networking section). I'd recommend it over other books I used and looked at for study. It has a pretty good test bank, too. Very similar to the real test.

I thought this book was a fantastic prep tool. After reading the book, doing the practice exams and excercises, as well as using a few more practice exams, I passed the test with flying colors on the first try. (857 out of 1000, with 714 being passing.) I recommend this title to anyone wanting to pass the exam.
