Summary: Great book to pass the exam, a must have!
Review: This is the only book I bought to prepare for the exam and contrary to other reviews, I passed the exam on first try.
Rating: 
Summary: Worst book ever
Review: This is one of the worst books I have ever read. There are so many errors, the book is useless. The practice exams are wrong and some of the content in the book is wrong. This will make you do worse on the exam if you use it!

Summary: Sudy guide full of errors
Review: This book has so many mistakes I would not trust it. One benefit is that you have to look up the answers to the self test elsewhere to see if the book has the right answer or not - so you learn more.

Summary: Vey disappointed. But dont have much choice.
Review: This book has numerous errors and contradicts other study guides I was using. The real test was in a completey different league than the practice I had in any of my study guides. Somebody needs to write a good study guide. Unfortunately when you notice mistakes the book becomes useless.

Summary: Not perfect but does the Job
Review: This book is not bad. I used several sources to study for the exam and this had some of the best material for some of the exam objectives. Yes there are typos. The publisher could improve their QA process greatly, but this book absolutely helped me prepare for the exam and pass - but I also used the VB manuals and an exam questions book. Is this news to anyone? Everything you read says use several sources for your preparation. Anyone contemplating using this book should use the test software only as a mechanism to test minimal understanding of the exam objectives - the real test is in a DIFFERENT LEAGUE so be warned. However, if you read the book and spend some decent study time you'll find the book does a decent job.

Summary: A Good Book when Used with Other Study Guides
Review: Like any exam book, this book is not going to teach you how to program VB but rather pass the exam, and that must be emphasized. As a matter of prudence, you should also have several study guide exam books from different authors. Yes there are errors in this book and I am deeply disappointed that a publishing house would let these errors through before releasing, but I suggest anyone preparing for the exam use this book in conjunction with two others: VB6 Exam Guide, by Mezick & Hiller, McGraw Hill ; and, MCSD Exams 175-76 by Hawhee, New Riders Publishing. Very Important: I know this requires extra work, but if you want to pass the VB Exam, you should read "How to Program ..." books first so contradictions in study guides stand out. Besides, the purpose of taking the exam is to have a great job, you will need to know how to program and these study guides don't fully help you with that.

Summary: Horrible
Review: If a zero rating were possible.... Embarrassing. I signed up for the exam early. I had to cancel. I was embarrassed. I depended on the fact that this book would be my key to passing the exam. There are multiple errors that are not even covered on the seven pages of corrections listed on the publisher's web site. I can't believe the publisher allowed this book to go to press with this many errors. Definitely a waste of money.

Summary: Terrible
Review: Simply put, the best thing you can do is stay away from this book

Summary: Useless tests
Review: The information in the book is generally pretty good, but the practice tests have so many wrong answers that it makes the tests pretty much useless. Since there are so many better resources for preparing for the exam, I'd stick with just about any of the others and put this one at the bottom of the "to buy" list.

Summary: GOOD BUT HAS ERRORS
Review: Good book has errors. I'm new to VB programming but I also noticed errors in the code and in the tests. What study guide best covers the VB6 MCSD exams? please send feedback to o_pereira@hotmail.com
