Title: I was disappointed because the lessons were not hands on.
Review: Though the lessons go step-by-step, this is of no value unless you have a file open to do those steps. I did the practice labs after using two other books with hands-on exercises. Some of the "things to do" in the labs are not clearly written: Example-at the end of Lesson 3 "View the tables in the Table tab as Large Icons, Small Icons, File List with Details, and File List with Properties." File List with Properts is not one of the view options from the Table tab. This option is available when you click File, Open. Then your view options are Lists, Details, Properties and Preview.Lesson 4 Lab has the following. "Use AutoForm to enter the data in Table 4.3" AutoForm can only be used to create forms, not to enter data. The statement should have been "Type the data in Table 4.3 into the form you created with AutoForm" or something to that effect.Overall, this book is not what I would expect from an exam preparation guide.
Is the review positive or negative?
