4.0 out of 5 stars Easy Certification. A must for non I.T. literate students., June 3, 2000

Richard Tho (Sydney.au) - See all my reviews

This review is from: MCSE Windows NT Workstation 4 for Dummies (Paperback)

For the pass decade, IDG's Dummies Book had always make learning computers an ease, as for the second edition of MCSE: NT Workststion 4 for Dummies, it makes the certification much less stressful.

The book is organised in paragraphs that does not make you feel reluctant to read, the book also provides other relevant infomation that may apply in the real MCSE world, but not escessive that may bore you out.

I have experience that, some of the information and short test maybe misleading or confusing, that is why I reccomend to have a second book by a different author to assist my knowledge.

The Exam Cram: NT Workststion 4 is the other book I used. It's chapter seperations in this book are much simalar to the Dummies. But don't count on just the Exam Cram, it is not Microsoft Approved.

One last note would be that some of the explaination in Dummies uses terms from The X Files, Star Trek,etc. It is okay if you are into these sort of things, but if not, you can get confuse with the material and the humour. This is the only reason that I gave a four stars rating instade of five.

3.0 out of 5 stars Good place to start, but not the definitive resource..., July 31, 1999

This review is from: MCSE Windows NT Workstation 4 for Dummies (Paperback)

I started with this book to get an understanding in the way the subject matter would be organized. As with all the other dummies books, the information is presented in a down-to-earth and sometimes comical manner. However, this book should not be the only book you buy to study for the test. Some of the questions in its practice exams are not in the book, so it is sometimes hard to understand the answer. I would recommend this book to anyone taking the test and this was the first test I took. Oh, by the way, I did pass. Good Luck.
