This review is from: NetWare 5 CNA(SM)/CNE: Administration and Design Study Guide (Hardcover)

I used this book for the NetWare 4.x to NetWare 5 Update test. I found it very helpfull for that purpose. I was already proficient in previous versions of NetWare so I can't comment on it from the "newbie" perspective. For those looking to update, this book with a package from SelfTest Software will make a good combo.

This review is from: NetWare 5 CNA(SM)/CNE: Administration and Design Study Guide (Hardcover)

This book is a great explanation of Netware. It's the best of the printed materials I've seen on the topic (Novell's own study kit book is horrible by comparison). I just passed the CNA exam, and felt well-prepared, though I agree with other reviewers that you should always use more than one study aid. The one weakness of this book is that the questions at the end of the chapters are not much like the actual test, though in all fairness, it would be impossible to simulate the test in a written format. I also used Self Test Software's exam simulation, which was awesome--just like the real thing.

4.0 out of 5 stars Never use just 1 source, Feb 18 2001

This review is from: NetWare 5 CNA(SM)/CNE: Administration and Design Study Guide (Hardcover)

Although I believe Sybex sells good quality books, I would like to issue a little word of advice. Never use just one source when going for a certification. For my CCNA certification I used both the CCNA Sybex book, and I was in the Cisco Networking Academy, for My Novell CNA certification, I used CBT and the Sybex book. No matter if a book is a 5 star book or not, your more likely to learn something if you read it twice from differant sources and cover everything.

3.0 out of 5 stars Good overview, but lacks specifics
This book hits the highlights and general topics, but needs more details, especially for a test study guide! More screen shots would be very helpful.
