Book Reviews of Network+ Study Guide, 4th Edition
Book Review: Passed it!
Summary: 5 Stars
First off let me say that I managed to pass the Network+ test with a 715 (thats about a low "B" but a pass is a pass). I also used the Exam Cram 2 book as well because its always a good idea to study from at least two sources. One of the sources may cover something in more depth or is easier for you to understand then the other and vice versa.
This book is great and is not a dry read due to the touches of humor added here and there. One of the most helpful pages in this book is the Layer 1 cabling chart that list one of the hardest parts to remember: cable lengths, speeds, transmission lengths, ethernet name (100BaseTX, 1000Base-LX, 10GBaseER, etc), and connectors with notes on each one all on two pages!.
Other features that I liked were the bolded titles, bulleted notes, and flags to get your attention about specific information.
The included disc featured the book in PDF format, two practice test (which were very hard as I only managed to get around %50 on both of them), and flash cards.
If your planning on taking Security+ soon I would also recommend you get the Exam Cram 2 Security+ as it's first chapter is dedicated entirely to what to expect on a CompTIA cert test, test stratigies, and loads of helpful info to help you get over test anxity and gain confidence in your knowledge.
Sybex and Exam Cram 2 (although I dont like the title of their series as cramming is most definitly NOT the way to STUDY) is a great combo when it comes to certification.
Keep in mind with any certification that the piece of paper is the BY-PRODUCT of your knowledge and that knowledge makes that piece of paper mean something other then just a piece of paper.
Summary of Network+ Study Guide, 4th Edition
Here's the book you need to prepare for CompTIA's updated Network+ exam, N10-003. This revised edition of the best-selling Network+ Study Guide was developed to meet the exacting requirements of today's certification candidates. In addition to the focused and accessible instructional approach that has earned Sybex the reputation as the leading publisher for certification self-study guides, this book provides:- Clear and concise information on networking essentials.
- Practical examples and insights drawn from real-world experience.

Note: CD-ROM/DVD and other supplementary materials are not included as part of eBook file.
The Network+ Study Guide explains all you need to know about computer networking to pass CompTIA's Network+ exam. The book covers the fundamentals of local area networks (LANs), the seven-layer Open Systems Interconnect (OSI) network model, and network operating systems (including NetWare, Windows NT, and to a lesser degree Unix variants). Readers will find considerable coverage of the TCP/IP protocol suite, including some of the utility programs used to configure it locally and remotely. There's also a lot of "softer" material about the duties of a network administrator, good troubleshooting practices, and the issues involved in network security. Organized to match CompTIA's stated objectives for the Network+ exam, this guide will prepare you for that test as well as Microsoft's Networking Essentials exam (70-058).
The presentation style is dense with prose, and tables are inserted where there are options or variations to memorize. More and larger conceptual diagrams would make this book better, since networking concepts are sometimes hard to grasp. There are quite a few stepped procedures though--most of them geared toward networked Windows machines. Each chapter concludes with a selection of multiple-choice review questions, the answers to which appear--without discussion, unfortunately--in an appendix. Additional questions appear in a drill program on the companion CD-ROM. --David Wall
