Computer Manuals VB Exam Cram First Impressions Karl Moore
Selling itself as "the first and last book you need to read before taking your exam," this publication is an all-in-one revision guide for the fearful souls sitting exam 70--165, Developing Applications with VB5.
The first chapter starts with an introduction to the Microsoft Certified Professional program, how it works and what qualifications you can obtain. And it's all written in a surprisingly understandable format, differentiating itself from the official Microsoft explanation.
The author goes on to describe exactly what you can expect in the exam room, from how the questions are formulated, to how to use the Microsoft examination software, to writing the entire manual on your forefinger. The book also includes many tips on preparing for the exam, heightening your "passibility." Is that a word? 'Tis now.
The following 14 chapters use a simple routine. The bulk of each one is full of more facts than Sherlock Holmes could wave a large magnifying glass at, complimented by regular "Exam Alert!" hotspots with key info you need for the exam.
Each section also contains a chapter review, where you'll find between five and ten exam questions to test your knowledge. And if you don't get at least 75% correct, return to Jail, don't pass Go and don't collect £200. Sheesh. Popular trick questions are also highlighted--so pay attention, kiddo!
By about the 350th page, you will not only have finished all the factual stuff, but also be pretty bored. So dive straight into the chapter 16 sample exam, a genuine-looking parallel to the real thing!
A handy glossary also helps with those difficult terms, along with an amazingly useful pull-out "Cram Sheet," containing all the key facts about Microsoft Visual Basic 5. Supercool!
