Did the job
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!

Excessive but good
Kinda of excessive in the depth of the content covered when compared to the actual exam. Nonetheless, it's a really good read which will cover everything you need to know for the exam. I read this book through once and passed the exam first time.
