4.0 out of 5 stars A little more work - this book rivals any others out there., September 13, 2002
This review is from: Network+ Training Guide (Paperback)
CompTia's newest edition of the Network+ exam is out and also I had to teach a class on Networking. My research lead me to try Que Publishing's book and the client and I were pleasantly surprised by the information and the results.

Covering exam N10-002, Network+, this 775 page book gives you hands-on exercises and review questions to reinforce the material at the end of each chapter. Part 1 of the book is the exam preparation covering hardware, the OSI model, protocols, 80 pages on TCP/IP, wan technologies and 120 pages for troubleshooting.

Part 2 is the final review section with and good overview of the major points and also tips and notes. The cd included has the e-book as well as over 150 question in various testing formats. Overall the book needs more practice questions and a simulation tool for those not able to access the equipment every day.

The book does work well in a classroom and also makes a very nice study tool. Fix a few things and add in more coverage of wireless and security and this book earns the 5 star rating.

4.0 out of 5 stars Excellent book with pointless software, April 2, 2003
This review is from: Network+ Training Guide (Paperback)
I just finished taking the Network+ exam and scored an 860. This was the only book I used and it covered every question I was asked. That says a lot.

I took the A+ exam awhile back and found myself trying to answer a few questions that I know were not talked about in the books I had read. If your looking for a 1 stop source for your Network+ certification, I can easily recommend this.

As for the included software, it's pointless and designed to get you to shell out another 50 bux. It includes 72 questions for free and another 216 for 50 dollars, that's like a quarter per question. No thanks.

Just make sure you have read and understand the material in the book. Read over the final review and the glossary, and you will be all set.

This review is from: Network+ Training Guide (Paperback)
Excellent, excellent book. This was my main study material for the Net+ exam and it didn't fail me. Like another review noted, read the Fast Facts! Memorize them, get a solid understanding of various environments with different OSs, and know how to troubleshoot networks (hands-on helps if you are new to this).

Definitely easy if you already started down the road of CompTIA certifications.
