Comptia Network+ N10-006 Exam Cram (Exam Cram (Pearson))

Great breakdown of all of the certifications subjects, I couldn't have asked for a better piece of literature on the N10-006. Furthermore, they key distilled facts are highlighted throughout the book and some are included on 2 cheat sheets that I would carry everywhere with me. The reason I bought this book is because after a long while of studying there was still things I was iffy on, and it really gave me a better glance at what was on the exam. I'm not saying this alone Is a one and only to pass right away, because the Network+ takes some studying and thorough knowledge.What I did Is take the complete list of exam objectives and go over it a few weeks before the test after all my studying using Videos, reading this book and certain websites, and writing... a lot of writing. I made a flash card out of every bullet pointed objective I needed a thorough go over with. For example I made a card with a table that listed information such as speed, medium, switching method etc of WAN technologies. Just a method that works for me! Each chapter also has a series of questions before and after to gauge your understanding of each section. I love practice questions, these help worlds with making sure you know whats what.The book also comes with quiz software and a 10% voucher. The quiz software can me tuned to be made into a certification like scenario which I highly enjoyed because It gave me the final push of confidence to schedule my exam and take it. It allows you to select a number of questions from a bank and have X amount of time to complete it, then it is graded similarly to the style of CompTIA's exams 100-900 Points. So I would set It up to be exact. 85 questions, 90 minutes to do it, unfortunately there are no scenarios so get some degree of familiarity with the hands on stuff.I passed my exam and this was the last medium I used to study, I highly recommended it to anyone taking the Network+ as it provides a good comb through of every exam topic without getting overly in depth.My entire regimine to pass was as follows:-Network+ study videos. Id listen in the car, at work, in the shower, you name it.-Hardcore note taking and internet searching of all objectives-Thoroughly reading this book and taking even more notes from it-Studying the "Cram Sheets" provided, and oh yea, more notes. Study all these notes.-Practice exams and quizzes, til you hate them. Write every one down you get wrong and what makes it right. The one in this book is great!-I had sticky notes of port numbers and other information at my desk at work, and fridge at home Lol-Self made small networking lab-Oh and more notes.If you are reading this chances are you might go take the test yourself so good luck!

I passed on my first try. But be warned, this exam is much tougher than it used to be. I also used another company's flash card and practice test. There is no way the book alone, or the test that come with it, will get you there.

A good book to refresh your memory. The included CD test prep questions were ok but nothing close to what was asked on the actual exam. The book questions are probably a 3/10 difficulty vs the exam questions being an 8/10 difficulty. I passed on the first attempt but would not rely only on this book to pass.

This book does an excellent job of reinforcing every aspect of the exam. I bought this especially for the CRAM guide. I understand all the information when studying but truthfully it's the details that start to fade. The CRAM guide is like one huge flash card and for me it works to churn up the details just before the test. It is perfect... 6 pages of condensed information giving you the big picture (with all the details) of what you need to pass the test. The software covers everything on the CRAM guide giving you an interactive way to study. After using the A+ Exam Cram this was on top of my list for the N10-006. Protect your investment (test fees) get this book.

Used a similar study guide from the same company for my A+ cert years ago. This book uses the same format in a easy to follow guide. Comes with quick reference cards and a few practice tests. If you can pass the practice tests, you are ready for the exam.

Excellent source for anyone. Learning more about computer Networks, especially going forward in today's technology driven society, is for everyone.This text provides world class arrangement of the information you need to know to ace the Network+ Exam. The summary sheets found in the inside cover (removable if you wish) are PURE GOLD.

Its a lot to read and often times gives too much detail, however if your a beginner in the field or prefer a clear explanation of the objectives/topics, this is the book for you. I'm halfway though the book.

What can I say, I passed using this book as ONE of my references. Word of advice to anyone taking the N10-006 NET+ exam, DO NOT RELY ON ANY ONE reference!

Contrary to some critical reviews I felt this book did a good job of covering the exam objectives. I used the following resources to pass the exam (first time):Network+ Exam CramYouTube videosFree online practice testsN10-006 exam objectivesI was a bit worried going into the exam because I'd heard a couple of bad things about this textbook. Thankfully I needn't have been, and if I were to go back and do the whole thing again I think I would still choose this book.The accompanying CD is a valuable addition. It contains 2 practice exams and a full dump of all the end-of-chapter review questions in PDF format (easy to print). This is really handy for the final stages of your preparation. The exam software isn't bad either, although there aren't any simulation-type questions.Exam advice: Allow yourself plenty of study time for the N10-006. For starters, there are 250+ acronyms on the exam objectives by my count - and you're expected to know them. For most people this is going to mean repeated exposure over time before they eventually sink in.The official Exam Objectives should be the first thing you download. CompTIA give you the exam topics on a plate so you'd be daft not to use them as a revision checklist.Do as many practice questions as you can find. Between this book and the free ones available online I must have done about 800 practice questions. Once I started averaging around 90% I scheduled the exam.If you put the effort in then passing the Network+ exam is quite straightforward. Just don't underestimate it. 80% is a relatively high threshold for an exam and there is a LOT of content to cover. I think this catches a few people out.Good luck!

Great for revision of basic networking. Includes exam practice quizzes.

Great product, great price

Passed on 1st attempt at the exam!

Good book
