good book. used and passed exam.July 15, 2010 Robert J. Rodite(Charlotte, NC United States) Used only this book for studying and passed on the first try. Great reading, and I am the type that hates reading books. The only thing i wish was that the practice exam on the CDROM had more questions and chose them at random.
75%June 23, 2010 Rusty1491(San Diego, CA) This book is not on the latest 2009 CompTIA recommended reading list for a reason. It will give you about 75% of what you need to pass, which is just enough to fail the Network+ exam. It also provides you with too much material that is not even touched upon on the exam. I had to get Mike Meyer's "All In One" Network+ book after I got a 67% on the online practice exam to fill the holes. Still it wasn't enough, so I purchased additional questions from UCertify, which was extremely helpful and did the trick. Don't make my mistake; go to the CompTIA website find out what the latest recommended self-study material is.
Well written bookJune 23, 2010 Gail A. Meyer(Washington DC) 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
I'm using the book to facilitate a group that is studying for the certification exam. The book is well written and easy to understand. However, there is a lot of detail in the book that is a challenge for those indviduals who do not have a lot of networking experience to ingest. The self-test questions are very helpful, especially since explanations are provided that identify why the wrong answers are wrong and correct answers are correct. The "exam watch" hints are also a benefit, as they add emphasis to concepts that are important to know for the sake of passing the exam. Overall, it is a good study aid for the Network + certification.
Great book! Read it over 4 days, took test, and passed.March 8, 2010 J. Sciarrini(Jacksonville, TX USA) 1 out of 2 found this review helpful
I don't like reading normally, but this book was really easy to follow. It has the facts you need, but it's not so techno-jargony that you fall asleep while you are reading it. I read it over a 4 day time period, took the test, and passed!!! I read each chapter and did the test questions at the end of each, and it more than prepared me for the exam.
Of course, I was well rested for the exam. And, before the exam, I read all of the chapter summaries for a quick refresher.
Good luck all!!!
Somewhat incompleteOctober 7, 2009 Henry Culver 4 out of 4 found this review helpful
While this is an informative book, especially concerning Microsoft networking utilities and features, there were definitely some areas on the Network+ 2009 N10-004 test (just took it today, and passed, but not as well as I would have liked) that were not well covered in this book. The areas that could definitely use more attention were CIDR-based sub-netting and physical facility equipment and tools. There was a lot of emphasis on troubleshooting scenarios as well. While the book (content/quizzes/test) focuses many questions around Microsoft tools/utilities, I experienced next to no Microsoft-centric questions on the actual test. (The test is actually very vendor neutral)
I realize it is not easy to create a test prep book like this, and I appreciate authors like Glen providing these resources. But at the same time, it is hard for any book to provide all possible knowledge needed for a test like this.
