Practice questions drive the supporting text, so readers don't need to search other books to find the explanations they need. The book gives candidates what they are asking for: lots of practice... This description may be from another edition of this product.
This book combined with the other New Riders books dedicated to VB6 exams are everything that I needed to pass the exam. This book was an excellend resource and I used it (+ the New Riders 70-175 & 70-176 books) to pass both the Desktop and Distributed exams. Having VB experience is also necessary to pass. You can't JUST buy books and go in and take exams - you need experience too so you know how to handle Microsoft's scenario questions! But overall, this book clearly is not only sufficient enough to pass, but to comfortably pass (I scored in the 900's). The reason I give it 4 stars and not 5 is that some questions have incorrect answers, which I think is ridiculous, but is becoming the norm with exam prep books.
The best book I've ever read on VB6.0!!!

This book was what gave me the edge! I had no previous knowledge of vb6.0 and this book gave me what I needed to pass the MCSD 176 test! Thanks to great examples and helpful tidbits, you will have the best chance at passing with this book...
This book works... period.

Some of the other reviews here are not correct! I studied with this book and, YES THE REVIEW QUESTIONS WERE LIKE THE ONES ON THE TEST! I read this book in 2 days, and studied only what was in it. I PASSED. NUFF SAID! (By the way, I used it to study for the 176 test (desktop), NOT the Distributed! So I think the last two reviewers are full of it!) This was the best 30 bucks I spent for studying for the 176 test.
