In fact unclear is a better word. I purchased this book as a supliment to "Server+ Certification Bible by Trevor Kay" and yikes!!! First I was mildly disturbed by the fact that the author isn't even Server+ certified. Second the questions are as unclear as Charlie Brown's Teacher in The Peanuts. In my opinion most answers had multiple answers (of which I guessed at what I hoped was the right one) or the questions themselves made no sense at all and being A+, & Network+ certified I would hope that I'm not completely clueless. As a matter of fact the only reason I'm writing this is because I wanted to check this books reveiws before I depended on it for my Server+ exam in a weeks time. Well that's my piece. Good Luck to all and stay away from this book...I hope this helps

Questions+answers are arranged redundantly, information is dated, and there's just not a lot in there. Very amateurish. Bordering absurd. Probably should have given it 1 star when I think about it.

The publisher does not hide the fact that this book is just a batch of sample questions and answers related to the Server+ exam. This book might be useful if you've been in the field and have done a lot of work on servers and you want to test you knowledge. However, it is of little use for novices who are trying to learn material for the Server+ exam. The biggest problem with this book is that the CompTIA Server+ exam objectives are not even present in the book. Also watch out for the Exam Watch notes, a high percentage of them are totally wrong. For example: The Exam Watch note that states that only RAID 1 and RAID 5 are fault tolerant (page 25). In fact, RAID 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 are all fault tolerant. The book also lacks an index, which makes it difficult to find sample questions on a particular subject.
