Summary: Recommend for Exam Only
Review: I found this book extremely helpful for the exam except for one thing. In two places I found errors. Following the exact instructions as laid out in the book, Access was unable to perform the task. Also later in the book, the instructions showed the incorrect icons (correct description just incorrect graphic). This book is wonderful for a cram course but be sure to check carefully.Otherwise it is a brillant study guide and I was very happy with my purchase.

Summary: Concise and Compact
Review: I just took the MOUS Access 2000 exam today and scored 826; required score 790. I think that says it all about this book. Thanks to the authors - I love you!! I am on my way to order "Cheat Sheet" books to prepare for MOUS Excel, PowerPoint and Word certification exams.

Summary: Great for Test Prep
Review: I passed the test with a 978 out of 1000. There was only one question that I didn't remember finding in the book. The topics are short and concise while still covering the information fully. The book comes with highlighted sections that are a real plus in addition to the practice CD.

Summary: A Great Prep Book
Review: This book does not teach Access 2000. Do not buy this book as a reference guide for Access. As another reviewer commented this book can be judged by its cover. I am an experienced Access user (and programmer) and bought this book because I wanted to become MOUS certified. I did not know what to expect on the exam so I took a gamble with this book (I passed with ~980/1000). As an experienced user, I was able to gloss over most chapters, but it was instrumental in identifying some of the features of Access that I forgot existed or did not know about. Each chapter test was very well written and did test for knowledge. In hindsight, the tests mirrored what was actually in the exam. After going through the entire book, I just reviewed the few areas I needed refreshing on and passed the test with ease.

Summary: You can judge this book by its cover...
Review: This book is precisely what it claims to be -- a guide to the material tested on the exam. There is nothing in this book that will teach you how to design and structure an Access database, nor is there any detailed explanation of how the various functions and features within the user interface *work*. If you're already a proficient Access user, and you want to be sure that you know the "right" ways to do things for the test, or if you're a novice interested in faking it, this book will be helpful. It really does teach to the test, and the exam won't hold any surprises if you master the skills on the cheat sheets included with every chapter. Just don't confuse cramming for the exam with mastering the material.
