Needs editing

I think the biggest part of preparing for CompTIA exams is understanding key words and how questions are phrased. Throughout this book I had found several errors that made it through editing. There is a question in the core 2 practice exam that asks for "the three best answers" when the answer key only shows 2. Another question in one of the end-of-chapter tests for Core 2 was an absolute trick question, and the initially listed answer in the key was the most wrong out of all of them. Granted it was a trick question and none of the answers were actually right, but this only confused me and did not inspire confidence while preparing for my exams. I think the material in this book is great!! It's very in depth, covers everything and I don't doubt the accuracy of the information.
