I tend to buy lots of books on subjects I'm interested in, and occasionaly I get the odd dud.

Such a one is mentioned in the Title.

I bought it because it seemed to classify into the two exams more than Meyers does, and I spotted a few useful looking tables.

Sadly on reading closer I find it very muddled, so badly in places that I cannot tell quite what they are trying to say. And in other places I find major howlers.

I have now abandoned it as hopelessly unviable.

What do other people think?

Harry.

I'm in agreement with you.


Some people love ExamCram books. I can't stand them. I tried using a couple of them when I first started out and found them absolutely useless for me. They didn't help me at all.

 

While I would agree with your comments I suspect that you haven't looked at the book in question. My view is that notes should be in some sort of order and structure, and it is the lack of this in the book in question that I am complaining about.

I have no probs with cramming as such - a good set of notes, either bought or self-generated, acts as excelent reference material afterwards.

No probs. I largely agreed with your sentiments anyway!

'difficult to digest' may be an understatement! I now wish I had spent more time browsing the book, but I was in a hurry....

Harry.

 

I found this book helpful in passing the hardware exam!

 

I agree. I bought it (along with about every other A+ book ) while studying for A+ and found it a good reference. It can't be used from the ground up in my opinion.
