 Just The Basics - No Filler! February 16, 2008

So I'm studying to take the Microsoft Excel Exam...this book covers EVERY feature supposedly on the exam...and nothing else. Not necessarily a bad thing, but I wanted a few more examples. It literally is a one-example compendium of every feature on the exam. One practice test, too comes free w/ the book. If you want a quick, quite useful way to study for any MOS exam - this is your book. If you want more detail and explanation, go for one of the Dummies books.

Short Story Long... I was MCSE certified in the 90's, but through promotions and job transfers - I no longer needed it. Well, I am back at the starting gate again because of organizational restructuring. I started with the MOS certification.
In the 90's Microsoft Press sucked for study guides... Sybex and McGraw Hill were the ones that most people getting certified used. Well, times have changed, finally the company that makes the stuff, also makes the best study guides for it. I highly recommend this book if you want to get your MOS quickly and efficiently. (I will buy more Microsoft Press Study Guides as I make my way down the Microsoft certification path.)

After taking extensive training in MS Excel and Access, this book covers just literally everything you would get in training and then some, but without as many examples and details.
Pros - Covers all the major tests
- Outlined in an easy to read format and allows you to jump around
- The examples provided on the CD work very well with the text
- Provides exactly the same kinds of subjects you would encounter in a more extensive training
Cons - the biggest one is that you really don't know if you are doing the examples right. Unlike the training classes, there are no "Answers" documents to make sure you are doing the step by step processes right. So you never really know if you are applying the concepts correctly or not.
I have yet to take the practice test, so I will update this review.

Would highly recommend it.

Pretty thorough - I also use the internet site which is free and that is good too.
