CompTIA Network+ Certification All-in-One Exam Guide, Eighth Edition (Exam N10-008) (CompTIA Network + All-In-One Exam Guide)

Good study resource. Reference for troubleshooting today

If you're preparing for the CompTIA Network+ certification, this book is an absolute must-have! It provides a comprehensive, well-structured, and easy-to-follow guide that covers all the key topics needed to pass the exam and build a strong foundation in networking.

I added this book to my library to complement others that, when I need a second look at the topic, warranted further research. This book fit the bill.

Good network book

This book has a lot of information which is good a good thing in my opinion if you want to know more than you need to pass the exam. So far the information seems to be well explained & easy to understand. I'm about half way through the book & I've noticed figures that are mis numbered, illustrations that are too small to read, and occasional typos. Also, the online exercises are not thorough & very short. Despite these things I would recommend this book.

This book was good. I read the 7th edition, then I read the 8th edition. Then I studied really hard for a week on specific topics, took the practice tests (from both 7th and 8th editions) several times, and I did pass the test...barely. If you're serious about passing this test, I highly encourage you to read the book at least twice, AND also go to the Cisco Skills For All website and take their *FREE* Network Technician 70 hour course. The course will probably take you anywhere from 4 to 8 weeks to complete, and you'll also have the aid of using the Cisco Packet Tracer program. Once again, that course is FREE. You see, the Network Technician course, when used with the Packet Tracer program, will give you a much deeper experience that is about as close to hands-on as you can get without having physical access to the real hardware. You'll actually have to program some things from the command line, and you'll be building and setting up simulated networks with the Packet Tracer learning activities. Actually spending the time to DO the activities and complete the course will immensely improve your chances of passing the Network+ exam. Definitely get this book, because it's great, but don't rely on this book to teach you everything. Pair it up with the free Cisco learning program and you'll do much better on the Network+ exam. At the time I took the exam, it costed about $321 USD. Most people cannot afford to fail that test.

I recently passed the CompTIA Network+ on the first try, just barely. Hopefully the following points will help you pass the exam faster and more easily. Mike Meyers' book is long. It's as much a networking reference manual as a preparation guide for the Network+ exam. Initially I thought the Meyers book was overkill. After reading the first 4 chapters of this Mike Meyers book and being frustrated at my progress, I returned the book. In retrospect, that was a mistake. There were two stages in my preparation for the exam: (1)understanding the material (2)memorizing information. The two best sources I found for understanding the exam subject matter are: (1) Mike Meyers book (2) Professor Messer's video training that is free online. Unfortunately, I relied mostly upon video training for understanding the information. And it takes a long time to get through a full video training course for Network+. If you recall information visually, as I do, then you should consider relying upon a book for understanding the subject matter. Use the video training and a secondary resource. And you should learn the material faster than using only video. For memorizing information, I listened to multiple training video courses (Jason Dion Udemy course, Professor Messer), reviewed the study guides Dion and Messer provide, took practice exams, reviewed the Exam Cram book, and created Anki cards. If I were to do the memorization all over again, I would rely much more heavily on Jason Dion's Practice Exams course on Udemy. He provides detailed explanations of the correct answer to each question. Take all the practice exams you can. If you don't understand a subject, look it up in Meyers' book. Good luck in your studies.

My husband has been in it for years. This product has been able to keep him up to date and has really assisted him in his career

Written well in a friendly way, this text has lots of pictures and diagrams. It is not a struggle to read like some textbooks. Two thumbs up from me.

Good packaging, the book was not only packaged well, it was also wrapped in thin plastic which allowed to preserve it very well why keeping in storage and delivering. So both content of the boom and the book's condition are great.

Great book, perfect delivery. Took over two weeks though. Edit: The book's pretty solid in explaining what you'd need to know. However, some images/pages should've been printed in colour as it makes no sense to follow the caption if it's explaining about colours but everything's B/W.

Useful information and good organized

- Content is great. I aim to use it to pass the test. - Writing style is a little folksy and doesn't match the appearance of the book. - Should be 250 pages not 1000+ but this is of course just my opinion, and my analytical brain wants to get to the point. Other brains might prefer a 4 hour Dances with Wolves experience, describe the epic tale of the battle of collision domains and the victory of the CSMA/CD tribe.
