Customer Reviews

Excellent preparation guide

The book is well laid out and easy to understand. After each chapter there are well thought out exercises and tasks to consolidate what you have just learned. The pinpoint exercises on the CD ROM are an excellent additional resource to enable you to practice what you have learned using the actual office application. There are easy to follow demonstrations too for anything you are unsure of. Pinpoint ran perfectly on my computer which runs on windows XP. Also check out Prentice Hall's website where there are additional resources.

Excellent book to pass the core and expert exams

No need to buy any other books. The CD has practice questions and hands on exercises which are very close to the actual exam. After reading this book I took my expert exam and aced it.

Great MOUS Test Prep book

I am MOUS (recently renamed MOS) Master Certified and obtained my certification by using only these books to prep. The CD that comes with the book is probably the best part. It features a hands on replication of the test. At the very least it prepares you for the types of questions and the testing environment, which helps greatly in getting over the fear factor. I have also taken the testing software the comes from Certiport, the developer of the MOUS certification tests, and found that this was better. As for the book, if your looking for indepth details, this is not the book for you. If you want a quick, to the point approach...I highly recommend it. After my certification I began teaching cMOUS certification courses and recommended these books and the PinPoint software as a great resource to my students. That is the depth of my reguard for this entire series of books.

Excellent MOUS Word Preparation

I have reviewed several books and other materials in preparation for taking the MOUS tests. Emily Ketcham's book is the most impressive so far. It is well organized with quality pictures. Objectives are clearly labeled, introduced and explained. Instructions are clear and easy to understand. Chapter tests are helpful. Does not describe every keystroke combination nor every option for every function, but does cover the material intelligently and concisely. I would strongly recommend the book.

Straighforward MOUS Prep Guide

I have been using and training in MS Office applications for the past 7 years. This manual is straightforward and layout logically. Begining with the basic MOUS skills and progressing to the expert MOUS skills appears seamless. The book is full of pictures, step-by-step instructions per task, and helpful Pro Tips. This book is not full of "techie" jargon and wordiness.The practice exercises are practical and helpful tools to either learn or refresh the topics covered in each chapter. The end-of-chapter tests also reassess what you just learned in each chapter.The MOUS PinPoint program strongly reinforces the skills you learned after each lesson. The two different software elements in PinPoint - Trainer and Evaluation surely reinforce the skills that you NEED in order to PASS the MOUS Certification exam - Core or Expert.I would highly recommend this manual and the accompanying PinPoint software to anyone who needs a training aide or manual to practice with for the MOUS certification exam. The only drawback is that is doesn't have anough exercises at the end of each chapter to be used as a training manual. If an additional exercise were available - this book would have been rated as a 5-star book.
