Summary: Adequate, But Rushed
Comment: This could be a really good book, but its content needs to be proofread on a technical level to correct some inaccuracies and contradictions. Its review questions are especially confusing; whole sections of code involved in the question often appear in a completely different question. Many code snippets throughout this book contain syntactical errors (missing or extraneous parenthesis, etc.), demonstrating that the code was never actually run before being included. Much of the text is well-written, and the book has rounded out my knowledge of Access quite satisfactorily, but after noticing the high level of errors, I don't feel inspired with confidence that I will ace this exam.

Summary: Poorly edited. Code snippets are wrong.
Comment: This book is very poorly edited. The code snippets are wrong in many cases and even whole diagrams are incorreclt labeled. Moreover, even some of the errata on the website is wrong. Items promised on the accompanying CD are not delivered with the book. The practice tests cover questions not even addressed in the text.

Rating: 2
Summary: Better than nothing, just...
Comment: Before I read these reviews I sent a email to New Riders describing the problems I had with the CD and asking if there were any bug fixes. They told me they had never heard of the problem, to try the cd on another machine and that the book was no longer covered by their support agreement anyway. The exam is still valid, so why isn't the book? Luckily I have used Access for a long time and could spot the errors, but a beginner is likely to get very confused. Use with caution.
