Network+ Certification Practice Questions Exam Cram 2 ... (ISBN 0789733528)

Helped me pass the Network+:
This book is quick to get to the point with chapters that are easy to read, the questions at the end of the chapters review the material covered, and the two test at the end of the book. The only complaints are there it seems to be no consistency between the information presented in this book and other Network+ resources. Some of those examples are FTP ports, RAID, and backup solutions which are conflicting and leads to confusion. Also the test at the end of the book ask questions on material not really reviewed in the book. For example, password security share/user level, which was not covered at all in the book along with ranges of ip address (0-255) and what they can and can't be used for. Overall, would recommend the book for the Network+, just keep the inconsistencies down and authors need to provide all material for the tests.

Unacceptably Inaccurate:
There are so many mistakes in this book it is almost completely unusable. The answer keys even gets some of the answers wrong which can be really confusing. Then as other reviewers mentioned, many questions are slightly re-worded and presented again about four questions later, leaving this book with little value. It is completely unacceptable that this book does such a poor job at its single purpose. I want my money back.

It was ok:
This book was for the 2005 exam. I took the 2007 exam within 2 weeks of getting this book and the exam cram 2 study guide and passed. There were a few questions on the exam that weren't covered on these guides, but apparently it was enough to pass. When I took the test I was making consistently over 90 on all the practice exams. It would be good to have these practice questions and a more up to date study guide with the updated questions.

Flawed but useful:
I passed the Network+ exam last weekend. This book and Sybex's Network + book (ISBN 0-7821-4416-0) were the main tools I used to study, along with a few free practice question sites (easy to find with any search engine). It's true, as other reviewers have noted, that this book has some noticeable flaws and downright terrible editing. Repeat questions and errors matching the options for questions with what's in the answer key are especially common. Nevertheless, it can be a useful tool. I went through all the questions and made flashcards with the information I didn't know, which was tremendously helpful in preparing for the exam (and convenient for studying on the bus on the way to work). I'd say get this book and the Sybex book, make sure you know all the information in them, and you should be good to go.

EXAM CRAM 2 - NETWORK +:
THE BOOK IS A VERY GOOD STUDY GUIDE. IT IS WELL WRITTEN WITH TONS OF INFORMATION, IT IS ALSO VERY UP TO DATE. I WOULD RECOMMEND THIS BOOK FOR THOSE OF US STUDYING FOR THE COMPTIA NETWORKING CERTIFICATION.
