How to Use This Book and the CD

We've included several testing features in both the book and on the CD-ROM bound at the front of the book. These tools will help you retain vital exam content, as well as prepare to sit for the actual exam. Using our custom test engine, you can identify weak areas up front and then develop a solid studying strategy using each of these robust testing features. Our thorough readme will walk you through the quick and easy installation process.

Before You Begin At the beginning of the book (right after this introduction, in fact) is an assessment test that you can use to check your readiness for the actual exam. Take this test before you start reading the book. It will help you determine the areas you may need to brush up on. The answers to each assessment test appear on a separate page after the last question of the test. Each answer also includes an explanation and a note telling you in which chapter this material appears.

Chapter Review Questions To test your knowledge as you progress through the book, there are review questions at the end of each chapter. As you finish each chapter, answer the review questions and then check to see if your answers are right—the correct answers appear on the page following the last review question. You can go back to reread the section that deals with each question you got wrong to ensure that you get the answer correctly the next time you are tested on the material.

Electronic "Flashcards" You'll also find 150 flashcard questions for on-the-go review. Download them right onto your Palm device for quick and convenient reviewing.

Test Engine In addition to the assessment test and the chapter review tests, you'll find two sample exams. Take these practice exams just as if you were taking the actual exam (i.e., without any reference material). When you have finished the first exam, move onto the next one to solidify your test-taking skills. If you get more than 90 percent of the answers correct, you're ready to go ahead and take the certification exam.

Full Text of the Book in PDF Also, if you have to travel but still need to study for the Citrix MetaFrame exam and you have a laptop with a CD-ROM drive, you can carry this entire book with you just by taking along the CD-ROM. The CD-ROM contains this book in PDF (Adobe Acrobat) format so it can be easily read on any computer.
