Customer Reviews

The Exam Cram 2, Novell NetWare 6.5 CNA is the best way to get certified.

I'm certified now thanks to this book. And what a time saver... the objectives are clearly defined and the material is straight to the point. As a bonus, the author includes brief notes on the do's and don'ts in a real world Netware environment. This is good stuff. If you are serious about getting certified, then this book is for you.

I'm a CNA now, thanks to this book.

About a month ago, I had heard of NetWare, but had no real experience with it, or any solid idea of what it was other than a network based printing and file storage system. (In case you're curious, my conception was WAAAAY outdated.) Now, I'm a Certified Novell Administrator, and my only study guides were this book and the practice test from the provider that gives a sample in this book. (Do yourself a favor when you load the practice test; before you start it, get the updates. It'll be an entirely different experience.) This author has a much smoother writing style that makes this much less painful than other study guides I've used with other certifications. The only risk in this book (and what happened to me my first time through) is that it'll flow so smoothly you'll forget you have to study it that hard and also concentrate on the details. I can't recommend this book highly enough.

Excellent book.

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.

You want to pass read the book

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 P.S. Questions are paragraphs and there is no way you are going to do it in 20 or 30 mins no matter how many practice questions you can answer in under 5 seconds so go to the bathroom ahead of time :)

What you need to pass this exam

Using this book I passed the exam an my first attempt after a couple of months study and with no previous experience of Netware. It is worth getting access to an instance of Netware to learn your way around the various tools since these come up in the exam. The author's website has an errata and a few other useful extras and is worth visiting. I concur with the previous comments that the CD could have run better. The practice exams in the book are more than sufficient however.
