Summary: Good for the classroom or self study.
Review: Every so often certification exams are updated to meet the challenge of new and emerging technologies. Network+ is certainly no exception to this rule. Having taken the newest exam is it apparent that more than just reading the books you must also practice the concepts and this lab manual will help in that endeavor.

As a prefect companion to the All-In-One Network+ exam guide book, you have over 50 hands-on labs to help make the understanding of the exam objectives easier and more comprehensible.

Each lab has the exam objectives listed and are setup in a step by step format, along with the materials you'll need in order to complete the labs. Once completed there is a lesson wrap up to go over the major points in a review fashion.

Overall this book does meet all the newest exam objectives and would make a great self study tool or for use in a classroom training environment.

Summary: Challenging practice, really helpful!
Review: There are a lot of lab manuals out there and I am sure this is a best I've used. As a student, I wanted labs that would challenge me with problems just like those I'd find on the job. That's what I found here. It's a great book!

Summary: Network+ All-in-One Lab Manual
Review: This lab manual is bad. Because the the person who wrote the lab manual I don't think has a clue what level of difficulty on the questions and situations ina real network should be. A lot of the questions where too advanced for the scope of the textbook was trying to get across. The textbook was great. Mike Meyers should have wrote the lab book like he did when he wrote the A+ Textbook and Lab Manual, those were great tools.
