Reader Reviews
This review is from: Network+ Study Guide, 4th Edition (Paperback)
This book (Network+ Study Guide, 4th Ed) targets the latest CompTIA Network+ exam (as of 2-28-2006 anyway) and comes with a practice exam CD. Personally, I did not review the practice exams on the CD. The book has remarkable parity with the actual exam in regards to content and chapter exercises. The chapter exercises, by the way, have answers and explanations (unlike some other prep materials I looked at). At about 430 pages, this is a small book but well-written which translates to a quick certification if the exercises are completed and some time on the keyboard is spent. And some time on the keyboard is spent (oops...am I giving something away?:)) I did not have time to look at the Exam Cram series but they are usually very good and may be more suitable for more experienced folks. This book (and the exam itself) is geared to individuals having about 1 year of professional networking exerience. The Thompson course materials that you can order from the CompTIA web site for this exam are lengthy and overkill for this exam, though the included video's (about ten hours worth at least) are surprisingly good. In fact, they are the best Ive ever seen taped to the back of any book thus far. But its a major time sink to wade through all of that material unless its a classroom - bootcamp situation that you are in. The Network+ Study Guide, 4th Ed is much easier to carry around, has immediate feedback in the form of answers and explanations to exercises, and thus more suitable for self-study. Applied competently, it will certainly more than carry the exam.
