3.0 out of 5 stars
Errors - some serious, some just annoying...,
By A Customer
This review is from: CIW Foundations Exam Cram (Exam: 1D0-410) (Paperback)
keep this book from being as useful as it could otherwise be.In particular, the sections on the OSI model and DNS contain contradictory information, and a number of the sample questions patently record the wrong answers (i.e., you can tell because the answers in the questions don't correspond to the explanations provided). The section on subnet masking would be inadequate for anyone who doesn't already understand how to generate subnet masks. The book's discussion of HTML includes patently incorrect markup - don't rely on the book for any HTML coding. Finally, the book goes into intricate detail on many areas covered only very superficially on the exam, and leaves out some areas the exam requires (i.e., don't worry about most of those command line discussions for various programs, but do seek out additional information on, say, hacking and evaluating security risks). Taken with a grain of salt - and read critically and carefully, checking all important sections against tutorials available on the web or other reference materials - this book can help you structure your study for the Foundations exam. At present, it's the only thing out there on the exam, and it does provide a systematic overview of many exam topics. Under the circumstances (since it's the only book on the market) I'm not unhappy to have bought it - but if I were planning to take the exam a few months from now, I might well have bought something else instead...

This review is from: CIW Foundations Exam Cram (Exam: 1D0-410) (Paperback)
I bought this book, read it easily within ten days and passed the exam. Exactly 15 days after this book came to my door from Amazon, I became a CIW Associate.I think this is a relatively well-written and organized book. It has some errors, as do all books, but for the most part it is quite accurate for being the first book dedicated precisely to this topic. This book covers the network fundamentals relevant to CIW quite well. I had least experience with the network aspect of the exam in comparison to other portions prior to studying, but after this book and after my exam I scored highest on the networking section. I do think it did a good job with the other sections as well. I did see some questions on the CIW exam I didn't expect. So I would advise you to study some very basics of JavaScript as well (such as writing to a browser and prompting for user input). This book has about 10 questions after each chapter (15 chapters total) so that you practice topic-relevant material. The questions not only explain the right answer but also the reasons why other choices are incorrect. I liked this a lot. There was also a full exam at the end (another 60 questions) and hence a total of more than 200 practice problems in the book. Some of CIW's exam questions (in the real exam) were really ambiguous and hence almost anybody will get one or two questions wrong even if you know the question topic very well. I was disappointed with the exam makers for this. So, the best thing you can do (even if you may be ready for the exam) is to get a book or study reference to go over the material again and make sure you'll pass the exam on the first try, especially if the exam costs $125 and you can get this book for around $25 at amazon. I hope you found this review helpful. :)

Too many errors,

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: CIW Foundations Exam Cram (Exam: 1D0-410) (Paperback)
This book does provides a good overview of networking principles (IP addressing schemes, net masking, OSI layers, etc.) and other topics beyond memorization of HTML tags. Unfortunately, there are also a number of glaring errors in the text and chapter practice tests in this book; errors that leave me frankly astonished and frustrated with my test preparation routine. (...) I am unaware of any other test prep books for the CIW Foundations Exam, so this book may be your only choice... but be forewarned!
