Title: Too much extraneous info to use for cram sessions
Review: I used Exam Cram for my recent A Plus exams as well one of my MCSE exams. I don't use them anymore because they are just too long. Besides being hundreds of pages too long, there is a lot of non-essential material you have to wade through. My game plan for all the exams I have taken has been to first study Sybex, then take some practice tests, then two days before the exam, use my notes and up until recently, Exam Cram to cram for the exam. But now I use O'Rielly's MCSE Core (or Electives) in a Nutshell because it is so concise. Exam Cram books, most of which are over 400 pages, are just too lengthy to be used for last minute cram sessions. One reason to buy them: they are written in a lively, irreverent and occaisionally humerous manner that makes them an easier read than some MCSE materials.
