5.0 out of 5 stars You want to pass read the book, September 20, 2005
This review is from: Novell Netware 6.5 CNA Exam Cram 2 (Paperback)
Before taking this exam I had gone thru the 2000 some odd pages of the Novell 6.0 study guide for the CNA. Be careful in just using Novell's books. Supplement this information with Mr. Wyrostek's book, quite a few things are different on the 6.5 then the 6.0. You are going to need this book for the exam.
As to structure please pay careful attention to all notes and alerts the author provides, think of them as explanation points!!! and then think of them as explanation points!! and then think of them as explanation points again!!! When the author suggests that you carry out the functions of the application services (iManager, Virtual Office, iFolder etc. ) actually do it, these were no joke. Do everything you can to setup and configure these services, memorize all of your file rights, file and directory attributes, object rights, and property rights. I wish you all the best of luck on the exam and I thank the author for publishing this book. PASS

This review is from: Novell Netware 6.5 CNA Exam Cram 2 (Paperback)
Passed with 700 on first try.

I thought I was pretty advanced already - I have installed and upgraded many 6.5 servers, clients, managed a huge e-dir tree, file system, NSS volumes, rights, NDPS. I thought I was totally ready for the test.

Just to make sure I wasn't wasting my $125 on the test, I figured $20 for this book was good insurance. And it SO was!

The test includes a lot of little esoteric facts about NetWare that even someone with lots of experience might never see. This book does a good job of bringing all of those little esoteric facts to light.

The sample questions at the end of each chapter and sample tests at the end of the book are also very good simulations of the type of questions you'll see. However, I wouldn't say that any of the questions are word-for-word from the real test.

Also, there were some questions on the test that I didn't feel received adequate coverage in this book. Experience got me... Read more

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent book., October 2, 2005
By 
This review is from: Novell Netware 6.5 CNA Exam Cram 2 (Paperback)
I bought this book 2 weeks before sitting my CNA 6.5. It's an excellent resource that covers all the exam objectives clearly and concisely. Each chapter ends with questions that you'd typically find on the exam. The end of the book also contains two complete practice exams that will prepare you for the real thing. After two weeks of study with this book and some hands on practice with Netware 6.5, I scored (736/800) on the test.

The exam simulator that comes with the book is very poor though. However, after being in touch with the author, this was beyond his control and not his fault. The questions in the book more than make up for this shortcoming.

The author has also setup an excellent website (...) that supplements the book.

If you are thinking of sitting the Novell CNA exam, this book is essential.
