Customer Reviews

Excellent Supplement

This book is a great refresher for those with experience, or those who just wish to supplement computer based training. It got me a 793/900 and I only studied for about a week. I would definitely recommend it.

Good Enough to pass the Net+ Test

Your question: Is this small book alone good enough for me to pass the Net+ test? My Answer: Yes. I personally never like thick books with lots of "essay" talks. If you only want to pass the Net+ test with the minimum amount of time, this book alone is good enough. I passed the test today with a comfortable mergin but only read this book to prepare. Net+ is an introduction to networking technologies after all, so don't spend too much time on it; instead, just pass it quick then move on to other exams such as Security+ and Server+. Think of Net+ Exam as Networking 101 - Don't waste too much time of your life! This book will do.

Great Book

Took the Net+ exam 3 days ago and received a 780/900 (646 is passing) on the exam. This book covers all the pertinent information on the exam. I read the book twice, in order to absorb all the information; but only a couple of weeks prepping for the test before test day was enough; combined with the practice tests that came with the discounted voucher I purchased off the Total seminars website. I recommend this and the A+ certification passports from Mike Meyers. Some of their other books are outdated and/or inadequate, but these two are perfect if you're willing to memorize the important information that they give you to pass the test.

Network+ Passport

I learned a lot and I passed thanks to this book. I love the travel theme, and it doesn't hurt that this is one of the lowest priced comprehensive Network+ books out there. On top of that, Mike and Nigel personally answered my question that I emailed to them. Thank you!

Meyers once again delivers quality certification material.

CompTia has revised the Network+ exam to try and stay up with the latest in network and networking technology. In looking at the exam this book is the final piece to the certification puzzle. Understanding that this book should be used to concentrate on the major points or objectives, it makes the perfect companion to the All-In-One Study guide. In 384 pages Meyers' once again shows why he is one of the most respected names in the certification arena today. From a great breakdown of the OSI model to network hardware and media to topologies, standards and protocols, Meyers lays out a track to certification success. Making sure that you can understand the concepts there is review questions at the end of each chapter as well as exam tips and tricks throughout the book. Finally there is a cd included with practice exam software from ExamWeb which gives you the opportunity to practice before going live. Overall this is a great add-on study tool and should make the final preparation easier.
