Rating:  Summary: Great Review for Passing the Network + Certification Review: Guys, I used this book only to study for the Network+ Certification and Passed! This book is great. It covers about 90% of the exam and has a pullout cram sheet that is the best! The only downfall about this book is that it didn't cover really much unix questions. The test had at least 4-5 questions. Know lmhost? for Unix. But this book makes the material easy to read and easy to learn. If I had to do again, I would definitly go this route. Enjoy!
Rating:  Summary: Passed With A High Score! Review: I have been in the IT/Networking Industry in some shape, form, or fashion since 1995. I bought this book to prepare for the Network + exam and to get a feel for what Comptia was looking for. There were a couple of minor errors, however the book was very informative and succeeded in doing EXACTLY what I wanted it to do. This is a great book and lays out the information in the way that you need to know it in order to pass the test. If you'll read the book, take the included practice test until you get every question correct then take it again to make sure, you WILL pass the test and you should score fairly high on it. It worked for me.
Rating:  Summary: not sueful any more . . . Review: I just took my Network+ exam and did pretty well, and the book I mainly used to study from was the Network+ Exam Cram. I can't think of a question on the test that wasn't covered in that book! I also used the A+ Exam Cram to take the A+ exam and also passed only using that book! The Exam Cram series is great! The information is accurate, and the book price is more than reasonable for the help it gives you.

Rating:  Summary: Helpful but far from everything Review: I studied this book completely and aced it's practice test easily and then took the Network+ exam (not the new beta) today. Based upon the reviews I read I thought I could rely upon this book and its practice exam to cover a majority of the test. Was I ever wrong. The sample test in the book probably mirrored about 20% of the real test. The remaining material and questions brushed along about at best an additional 50% of the test for those that have a GOOD background. The remaining 30% of the test I was completely on my own. I spent almost the full 90 minutes going over many of the questions I felt I wasn't comfortable enough with. I thought I was going to fail this test. This "cram guide" DID NOT make me feel prepared. If it were not for my background of a few years in Networking I would have failed and to be honest, I thought I had. You would expect a "cram guide" to be thorough in the testing material. It wasn't by a long shot.
Rating:  Summary: Not for beginners Review: I was very impressed on the quality of the book and the time it took to arrive. I'm very satisfied with this deal and I don't think it can get any better than this.Reinhard Palacios MCSE, CNA, A+
Rating:  Summary: A LEAN MEAN STUDY MACHINE Review: I would recommend this book to anyone with existing networking background who wants to get certified. I used this book along with Network+ Exam Prep to successfully pass the test (850/900). The practice questions are a little too simple and neither book covers Unix or encryption in sufficient detail as there were a couple of questions on the test I didn't know that kept me from getting a perfect score, darn it :) After studying the mateial in these books the exam seemed fairly easy and took me less than an hour to complete (and yes, I double checked my answers).
Rating:  Summary: I WILL ALWAYS USE EXAM CRAM Review: In the 3 certifications I have taken and passed I have to give credit to the Exam Cram series. They supply you with the knowledge needed to pass and nothing more. I do recomend a more detailed book for Network + and others but read this before you take the test. I also used the Exam Cram Network+ Audio Review for the long ride to work, And the Course Technologies Guide to Network+.
Rating:  Summary: Pretty good. Review: This book certainly helped me pass the Network+ exam. It contains most of the exam content and presents it well. Recommended.
Rating:  Summary: not sueful any more . . . Review: This book is a neat book and all, but the questions are too simple compared to the actual test. I took the test today ... and passed but with no help from this book. I got most of my useful information from the examp PREP book, but not all of it. That book is better, but goes into certain details that you will NOT have to know. I would say to invest in the larger book, but not this smaller one. In fact, I would suggest not getting ANY book rated for the old test to prepare for the new network+ test form.
