4.0 out of 5 stars pretty good overview, May 9, 2003
By Noor Ali-hasan (Ann Arbor, MI United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This book provides a very good overview of the items on the DMX test. I just took this test this morning and with the help of this book scored an 88%. The book focused more on the application and asked some very detailed questions about the interface. I found the test to be more code intensive. Questions about the interface were usually pretty general. You really have to know how to hand-code HTML and CSS, along with a general knowledge of JavaScript code.

Like the others have mentioned, this book is full of errata (which the publisher has yet to list corrections for on their site). Also, the book only comes with one computer-based test.

If you use this book and the webmonkey HTML and CSS cheatsheets, you should do fine.

4.0 out of 5 stars A comprehensive and generally accurate test prep book, December 30, 2002
By An old hand-coder (Baltimore, MD) - See all my reviews
I had been warned that the Dreamweaver MX exam was tough, and this guide, weighing in at more than 600 pages, did nothing to alleviate my anxiety. However, I attacked it systematically, chapter by chapter, and as a result passed the test with a very good score.

Like many Dreamweaver users I make heavy use of a few well-known features. This book revealed a huge number of tricks, tips and obscure features I never knew about and definitely plan to use. The sample questions were fair, although they were more ambiguous and inteface-oriented than the actual test questions (thank goodness). If you take the exam, make sure you know the *actual* code and standards as well as the Dreamweaver way of doing things.

A few criticisms: the book could have used one more copy-editing pass, as there were errors in the test answers and even a few in the "Exam Watch" tips that are supposed to give you a heads up on nasty exam tricks. The CD was disappointing, since it contained only one exam (the downloadable second exam appears to be on DW/Flash integration) with questions that are drawn directly from the book. It is mainly a promo for LearnKey online training.

There are many excellent Dreamweaver books available, but this one has the advantage of hewing closely to the exam syllabus, and the results (in my case) speak for themselves.

3.0 out of 5 stars Buy it if you have no other books to study for the exam, December 16, 2002
By "alexbatbold" (Dallas, TX USA) - See all my reviews
Although the book features many sample questions and a CD that contains 2 exams (exam questions are same from the book, 1 additional exam you can download later), you need to have extensible prior experience in Dreamweaver and web development in order to pass the exam comfortably.

If you are a newcomer to webdev, shop some more and read more reviews. I just took the exam this morning and passed it, I found the new DWMX exam much more challenging than DW4 exam that I took in last July. If you take the exam, make sure you become VERY comfortable with DWMX assets and library, CSS.

I found several editorial errors in the book and tests on the CD, but they were not serious to miseducate you. Overall, the book covers DWMX adequately, and teaches you the basics of web development. But I do not think the book can alone guarantee you to pass the exam, there a lot of learning involved to master the MX. The book teaches how things supposed to be in DW, but the exam will ask circumstances where things went wrong and you need to be able to troubleshoot them.

Best of luck on your exam!!!
