Rating:  Summary: Almost failed because of this stupid book! Review: Thank God I ordered the Exam Cram from Amazon, and received it the day before I was to take the CCA exam. This book outright sucks, and the CD, well I'd prefer that they stop enclosing that poor excuse for anything in the book. I passed the test today with an 80, and probably 90% percent of the questions on the test, I learned from studying that Exam Cram over a period of 4 hours, last night. One quick example: The book states that when a Metaframe Server with pooled licenses goes down, that the licenses become unavailable. UNTRUE FOR TEST PURPOSES! Licenses are available for 48 hrs. after the server goes down. I am so glad I spent the extra few bucks and bought the Exam Cram, it saved me from failing and losing $100!
Rating:  Summary: Get your CCA Review: The book is Certification oriented. Allied to your experience with Metaframe administration, it will fill in the wholes and details missing required for the tests. Although it has a continous value as reference book for administration.
Rating:  Summary: Quite a few wrong answers on the test questions Review: The book is very good, but the test questions contains quite a few errors. I gave it three stars because I bought this book mainly for the hundreds of test questions. I have three other Citrix books and this book is more detailed but a little less readable. I would rate the book a four star on book alone.
Rating:  Summary: Average Book-Unorganized and CD is useless Review: The study guide was mediocre. Poorly organized which detracts from the info that it has. The CD is useless. The exam on it has so many errors as to make it unreliable. At least 4 times I found questions where the explanation of the correct answer completely contradicted what they were saying was the correct answer. One question asked which OS could be used in a certain scenario and gave choices of Dos 6.0, Win95, Unix and Win3.1 and gave the correct answers as WIN95 and Win3.1 but the explanation of the answer stated that only Win95, 98, NT4 and Windows For Workgroups could be used. Win3.1 IS NOT WINDOWS FOR WORKGROUPS. That's Win3.11.
Rating:  Summary: This book is right on for exam 218 Review: This book covers all the necessary subject matter very well andis well worth the cost...At times it is a bit repetitive and may even seem as though your getting more of a Citrix sales pitch, but within the pages of this book is every thing you need to know to ace the exam. I particularly liked the Exam Watch entries - these are short exam tips in bold type that are found in every chapter. The self-test questions were on par with those of the actual exam. You'll also find many on the job tips, which make this text a good reference as well. I scored a 90% on my exam - Five Stars because it was the only text I needed to get my CCA!
Rating:  Summary: Very good read for CCA Review: This book does a very good job of both preparing you for the CCA exam as well as serving as a referencing for simple Citrix MetaFrame installations. Typical 'exam crams' can provide enough information to pass an exam, but are of little use afterwards. This is one book you can put on a reference shelf at the office.Citrix is a increasingly popular solution and this book will be all you need to pass the exam..
Rating:  Summary: Good book Review: This book is the holy grail of study guides for the CCA! I read the book cover-to-cover twice. I took the test a week later and passed with the highest score I have ever gotten on a certification! The information in this book is well presented. It is organized in a manner that allows you to apply what you read in previous chapters to the following ones. I found it sometimes hard to put down! If you want to pass the CCA, buy this book!

Rating:  Summary: Luck I know what i'm doing... Review: This book was a horrible study guide. Although I passed the exam, there were plenty of discrepancies in the book, along with just plain wrong information. It's a good thing that I had been working on Citrix for some time before I took the test!
