I started studing java programming just a few weeks before reading this book. I think the book could be more compact, providing the information in a straight way. However, I achieved a pass in the exam, as the book covered all the subjects. The questions this book provided were very similar to the real ones, and the fact that the book were also in pdf helped me studying without the book! If you buy the book, and answer the questions, you will probably be succesful in the exam.

1.0 out of 5 stars RUBBISH!! - Will only frustrate you and muddle your mind !!, Jun 10 2002

This review is from: Java 2 Certification Virtual Test Center (CD-ROM)

If ratings could be negative I would give it a -Infinity!

The GUI is slow, difficult to navigate and badly designed.
I don't know if it was must my particular copy but the "explanations" function didn't work either. Therefore you can't check why you got something right or wrong.

The overall bad quality makes you very unconfident about the accuracy of the answers which is bad when you are trying to clarify in your mind vital concepts!.

I'ts a total rip-off. It seems to confirm what other people had told me regarding Sybex's shoddy quality control, and overall inadequate products.

Like another reviewer I suggest purchusing the JQplus product. It's good and about 1/4 of the price....

1.0 out of 5 stars Buy this and be as sorry as this book, May 26 2002

This review is from: Java 2 Certification Virtual Test Center (CD-ROM)

This is horrible software. I am in the second chapter and I am just fusterated with the book. The material doesn't even perpare you for their own questions, how can it attempt to prepare you for Sun's. You think your doing alright untill you take the test at the end of the chapter and the questions cover things that are nowhere to be found in the material you just read. Then it has the nerve to go back and reread that material like its going to help. Don't wast your time with this second rate [junk].
