Customer Reviews

Very Good: but one tiny flaw

I purchased this book in order to prepare for the MOS certification exam. It is very detailed; instructions easy to follow. Although I am an experienced Excel user, it took me a few days to go through it and complete all the exercises. I would recommend this book to anyone. I only give it a 4 stars rating because one of the files referred to in the book and necessary to complete an exercise was omitted from the CD Rom. However it may be downloaded from the publisher website.

Passed the MOS Expert Exam-Highly recommended

I also agree-unless you're a study maniac, this cant be covered in one weekend. Before I started this book, I took an Excel Intermediate class, and that just started my appetite. Purchased the book, studied it for a few weeks, then after I was able to do the practice exams with no problems, I felt I was ready for the exam. I passed on the first try, and just about everything that is in the book, was on the exam...except for adding a button on the toolbar for a macro. I also purchased the Word Step-by-Step, but I'm going back to the Word version of this book.

Good - but not in one weekend

This book proves to be the best virtually all-encompassing prep tool for The Excel 2002 Microsoft Office Specialist Exam. That being said, you won't do it in one weekend - as the hype fallaciously proclaims - unless you're one of two things - an Excel freak or ... settling for the Core cert.I just passed the Expert Exam today. 45 minutes for 14 multi-part questions. You need a 780/1000. It's no cakewalk, so to speak, but then again, I am an Expert. The only areas on the Expert exam where you need to get more info that aren't covered in this book are: customizing macros, subtotal options within PivotTables, and custom number formats. This book has a practice file from the CD_ROM for each and every lesson in this book - very helpful. It's very well written and comes highly recommended - I mean, we're talking Barabara Clemens.
