Good book for someone with some experience already.
This is a good book for preparation, as long as you already know your way around Win95 and computers in general. It tells you what you need to know to pass the exam, but does not go into much detail or explanation. I used this book and the practice tests downloaded from Microsoft and passed the first time. If you are more advanced, you might be able to get away with just the O'Reilly book--it is VERY concise. But Exam Cram is a good middle ground: not as verbose as the Microsoft test prep books but offers a little more elaboration than O'Reilly. A little weak in interoperation/system policy type issues in large networks, but in all other exam areas I felt it provided a thorough prep.

Does EXACTLY what it claims to do!
I found the book to be an invaluable resource in mystudying, and I believe that it is the reason that I was able to passon the first try. There are 8 to 10 exam-type questions at the end of each chapter, and a full 49-question practice exam at the end. That's over 200 test questions - far more than you find in any downloaded practice test. Having read the caveat above, I used this book in conjunction with other materials, and as I said, was able to pass.
I highly recommend this book.

Can't say anything bad - I passed - 1st time!!
Before reading this book, I read Microsoft Press's Implementing and Supporting Windows 95.....twice!! But after reading Exam Cram, I seemed to understand things better. If you understand them, it's a lot easier to remember them. I will buy other Exam Cram products.
