5.0 out of 5 stars This Exam Guide + Transcender tests are the keys to success!, August 12, 1999

This review is from: MCSD Visual Basic 5 Exam Guide (Covers Exam #70-165) (Hardcover)

I passed the VB5 certification exam today with the help of Howard's exam guide and the Transcender practice tests. The reason I took the VB5 exam instead of the current VB6 is because of the time I spent in late 1998 and into 1999 learning VB5 (also, VB5 can be used as an elective in the new MCSD track). This Exam Guide presents in a concise, comprehensive way all of the details needed for certification. Granted, there are a lot of pages to read, but the material is well organized and the layout is reader-friendly. The After-Chapter questions are helpful to determine if you really understood the material. The Mastery Test at the end gives a good overall review of the kinds of questions you can expect to see (although some are really into the excruciating details that may not be needed). I intend to use the Exam Guide as a reference book since it contains information and coding examples that may be hard to find elsewhere. It's worth your time and effort to read this book if you are serious about certification. You can bet I'll be buying Howard's "MCSD Training Guide for VB6" later this year.

4.0 out of 5 stars Comprehensive and lots of sample test questions., February 22, 1998

This review is from: MCSD Visual Basic 5 Exam Guide (Covers Exam #70-165) (Hardcover)

With over 1300 pages, a cd-rom full of sample test questions and lab exercises, if this book doesn't cover the material for exam 70-165 then I'm not sure what else does. There are the usual "rush-to-publisher" edit errors, but not as many as I've seen in other MCSD study guides. I'm half way through it and quite satisfied with it so far.

5.0 out of 5 stars If you want to pass..., February 25, 2004
