CompTIA Network+ Certification Kit: Exam N10-003 Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I think most people would agree that certification books are supposed to do one thing, and that's helping you pass the test that it covers. I studied the study guide and fast pass books for two months and was able to pass the test comfortably on my first try. I definitely recommend this to anyone who is planning on taking the test in the next few months. The third hasn't really been used yet, but it's more of an application type book that the test doesn't cover. I gave the review four stars because I really feel like the book could've been proofread a few more times, as there are MANY typos. Definitely get this book if you want to start your IT career track off right!

Network+ Exam Cram 2 (Exam Cram N10-003) (2nd Edition) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I purchased and read this book from cover to cover in less than 3 weeks. I thought the information was very detailed and over prepared me for the exam. After taking the network+ exam, I now know this book is more than sufficient for passing the exam. I scored a 873 out of 900 possible and have no REAL experience in the networking field. If you want a bullet proof combination, I used Exam Cram 2 along with the Mike Meyers second edition all in one book. I am stressing the fact that all you need is either book. Exam Cram 2 is concise and packed with information. The sample preplogic test that comes with the cd is extremely difficult relative to the actual network+ exam. Don't lose your confidence if you score a 70% on the preplogic practice exam! I scored a 72% and panicked, but obviously it was a good enough score. The actual test is not difficult, contrary to some newsgroup posts. Good luck!

CompTIA A+ Complete Study Guide, Deluxe Edition Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Like many workplace professionals I have long harbored the desire to obtain accreditation and certification in many of the Microsoft and A+ fields. A friend of mine slipped me the CompTIA A+ Complete Study Guide shortly before the holidays with little more than a wink and a nod. As many of you can empathize with, my holiday season was filled with many hours of road and plane trips visiting various familial groups. Frankly if it weren't for said monotonous travel times I probably would have never picked up the book. Its one thing to say you want to prepare for an exam and another to pick up the 800+ page study guide. Several hours into my read, I was glad I did.
While I may be a newcomer to the certification field, I'm by no means a layman to computer-related study and preparatory guides. I have spent many an hour at the local mega book store perusing the offerings of the major companies and have, almost universally, found them to be sloppily and spasmodically written and filled with superfluous information that was more in line with A+ theory than A+ application. Not so with this guide, the authors say it best themselves "This book was written with one goal in mind: to prepare you for the challenges of the real IT world, not just pass the A+ exams."
They weren't kidding. I learned, not only how to pass the exam but application of the exam's knowledge in a common-sense fashion. Everything in the guide is streamlined information delivery, always prefaced with easily understood `Real-World Scenarios' and memory aiding `Hands-On-Exercises'. The CD, which I initially had a little trouble running, is packed with close to an hour and a half of instructional video so not only could I read about tasks but see them performed real time. The combination of these features didn't just `bring the class-room to the reader' as so many study guides claim but it brought me into the guide. It didn't just feel like I was studying it, the videos, combined with a little exploratory action in my own old pc, made it feel like I was actually doing it.
You will learn with CompTIA's latest A+ Complete Study Guide, I did.

CompTIA A+ Complete Study Guide Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Let me start off with just one word: Wow. When I was going through my training for A+, I would've loved to have had this book for studying. While I have not read the book cover-to-cover, I have gone through a lot of it and actually found myself being sucked in and reading more and more of it. Throw in the changes for the new A+ exam and I was blown away. The format of the book really works for someone getting a foot in the IT door by taking the A+ exam. Not only that, but as it stands now with the current trends, this (currently) very up-to-date tome is a good standby reference tool.
Having been only accustomed with the Mike Meyers universe of A+ study, this book was like walking into a different culture. It begins with my favorite part of the book: the Real World Scenarios. Often I found myself shuffling through the book looking just for these, some were a bit lacking but for the most part I found them to be relevant, insightful and in a lot of ways bringing the classroom to the reader. A great part of having any type of teacher is how they are able to impart to the student contextual knowledge, thereby putting everything in perspective. I think the Real World Scenario does a great job of accomplishing this. This also helps out in something friends and I have discussed that I happened to notice in the book.

A part that's almost worth the price of admission is the introduction, all in all, it's a mini study guide. I believe someone could use the intro for some last minute recognition and cramming. I believe this will come in handy for prospective A+ test takers.
As far as the negatives, while I have previously complimented much of the format used throughout, I do have a couple of qualms. For starters, when it comes to the OS-es, I think it would be a tad bit easier if it was separated by chapter. Command-line gets a chapter, 2K gets a chapter and XP gets a chapter. In some ways it seems a bit mashed together. The other les with the exam itself.
Instead of two clearly defined exams: OS and Hardware, there are 4 exams, but you only have to take 2: The "core" exam: Essentials and from there you can choose one of 3 tests. While I could go into more details, just looking at the outline and objectives, they all seem the same but just vary on the amount of customer interaction. It's nice to go the route of Microsoft and others with paths to certification, but it seems like it's more hype than anything else, almost irrelevant. Of course, without having ever taken the test, I can't be entirely sure. We'll just have to wait for the first victims to find out if I'm right or not.
All in all, the format is friendly and inviting. I thought that I would dread going through another A+ book, but I thought the approach was a breath of fresh air. It brings the classroom to the reader. The labs/exercises, scenarios, tips and notes do a marvelous job of getting the point across. I was even impressed by some of the technology covered. The various printers, scanner and media technology got some page time, so while it may, in some cases, give too much information, the book will stand the test of time on a shelf for easy reference.

Information Therapy: Prescribed Information as a Reimbursable Medical Service Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Information Therapy: Prescribed Information As A Reimbursable Medical Service by medical consumer activist Donald W. Kemper and Medical self-care and health promotion expert Molly Mettler offers an original and ground breaking proposition to change modern health care for the better. The definition of "information therapy" is that patients should be provided with accurate information, based on evidence, as part of the treatment. The individual chapters comprising Information Therapy discuss how to best put this idea into solid practice, and its impact on the health care industry, and more. Information Therapy is a profound, iconoclastic, persuasive, and a welcome, recommended contribution to the national debate over the nature and need of public health care policy today.

Information Nation: Seven Keys to Information Management Compliance Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I have often found it difficult to engage top IT management with executive management and legal in a comprehensive information management program that can include records management, imaging, document management, and so on. This book provides an easy to read framework for looking at these issues from each of these different perspectives as well as those of Risk Management. In essence, the book provides a set of comfortable "corrective lenses" that let each of these entities share a common vision for the integrity of the organization's information compliance responsibilities.
The authors include many anecdotal narratives in each chapter. These are highlighted with grey background and feature case studies of companies that did or did not manage their information properly and the results of their actions. These break up the chapters nicely and help make the reading go more quickly. The reports of both companies and individuals having been punished will certainly catch the attention of many top executives.
The book is filled with practical steps to get your company's information management compliance program successfully underway. It is easy to read and a great book to share. Highly recommended for anyone involved in Records Management or Risk Management.

CompTIA A+ Certification All-in-One Exam Guide, Sixth Edition Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I spent over a week agonizing over which book to purchase to prepare for the A+ exam. I ended up choosing this because it seemed to me to be the most material for the money and because Meyers, the author, has a reputation for quality in the industry. After working through the book, I am fully satisfied, and passed the exam on the first try. This guide is extremely comprehensive, and laid out in a very logical and easy-to-use way. Meyers' writing style is very easy to read and engaging. Even dry subjects are quite readable. The included materials are also quite good, but I should mention a few caveats. The book advertises 8 practice exams, but that means two for each of the four tests. Because any one person will only take two tests (Essentials and one elective), there really are only four practice tests (however, there is so much overlap, I found taking all the tests to be helpful). Also, each practice test is only 50 questions, but the real test is 100, so each is only half a test. On the other hand, the practice tests are very accurate and the interface is just like what you'll face on test day. Also, if you purchase your exam vouchers from Meyers' website, you will not only save $30 on each test, but also get an additional two practice tests (100 questions) for each exam. Overall, I definitely recommend this book over any other you might be considering, and I plan to purchase the accompanying Network+ book to study for that test.

Mike Meyers' CompTIA A+ Certification Passport, Fourth Edition (Exams 220-701 & 220-702) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I only have 6 months of real experience. I bought the big Sybex Comptia A+ Study Guide and studied it hard for ~3-4 weeks. I went in to the 220-701 feeling totally prepared and confident. After the first 5 questions I felt helpless, stupid and defeated but somehow I barely passed. I knew right then and there that the Sybex book wasn't working for me so I ordered this book. I got it on a Tuesday afternoon and read the whole thing by Friday to take the test. I passed with total confidence.
The book is a short and to the point. Very concentrated. The practice test it comes with is way better than the one that comes with Sybex. I highly recommend this book!

CompTIA A+ Practice Questions Exam Cram (Essentials, Exams 220-602, 220-603, 220-604) (2nd Edition) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I have used a lot of material to prepare myself for the CompTia A+ 601 en 602 exams (IT technician). This book stands out above all the others I have used in the practise exam department. The format is about the same as on the real exam, the questions are a little more difficult then on the real exam. The explanation of the answers are outstanding and give great insight in the material. Don't spend a little fortune on all sorts of practise exams (like I did), this book is the best and is enough. If you still want more, take a look at MeasureUp practise exams. Advice: take all the exam questions in the book and don't limit yourself to the questions that have do with the exams you are going to take. There is a lot of overlap between the exams.
After reading a lot of stuff I will only use ExamCram books in the future for preparing for IT exams; in my opinon they are the best.
I passed mid july both exams on the first attempt: 601: 735/900 and 602: 820/900.

CompTIA A+ Certification All-in-One Exam Guide, Seventh Edition (Exams 220-701 & 220-702) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I had received the CompTIA A+ Complete Study Guide for xmas because the All-in-One Exam Guide wasn't available yet. Well, I gave up on the Complete Study Guide after I was 1/3 the way through and ordered Meyer's version as I saw that it had become available on Amazon. What can I say? The guy is such a great teacher and the book is very well laid out and easy to understand, relying on plenty of analogies and diagrams. You get the feeling that you are in a classroom listening to your favorite teacher; Mikes methods of teaching are pleasantly informal, and he seems to have the formula for mixing professionalism and humor down to a tee.

Building an Enterprise Architecture Practice: Tools, Tips, Best Practices, Ready-to-Use Insights (The Enterprise Series) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)As a practicing Enterprise Architect (EA) I have found the to be an good book for reference - if used as a filler along with other books.
If your are new to EA this is a good book to have in your library, however it is not the only one you will need. This book is somewhat thin on content in many critical areas, but what is present is of fairly good quality.
An example of missing detail would be how to create and maintain an ongoing EA practice that will survive beyond the first budget review cycle. This book talks about the steps of creating a practice in theory and uses a sample company as an example, however it is idealized for the book and does not reflect reality in today's world of "what have you done for me lately" economics.
It is quite expensive for what you get, considering that it is just enough to make you realize that you need a whole lot more that you did not get.

The author reinforces various themes throughout the book. As the senior technology manager of a 300 person company I found the concepts very interesting, all though I think the main audience is for Technology leaders of much larger corporations. The book is well worth a read, it is written in plain english and has lots of easily understandable graphs.

CompTIA A+ Certification Practice Exams (Exams 220-701 & 220-702) (Certification Press) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)First off, if you're planning to use this as a primary reference for your A+ exam...DON'T. There are errors in the material. Second, if you're one of those who is able to memorize questions and answers and recall them at will, this book won't help you at all, because the CompTIA exam questions are NOT those in this book. Having said that, if you pair it up with a Meyers or Lammle text and use it for review, it will do its job, which is to prepare you for the actual CompTIA examinations. Yes, I know, the Meyers and Lammle books have their own practice tests included on their CDROMs. If you're at all uncertain about how well you've studied, pay the extra money and buy this book, and take the practice tests it provides.
As to the actual practice tests, both those on the included CDROM and from the authors' Web site, you may find them more difficult than the actual CompTIA exams. This is a good thing, because if you are able to pass the practice tests, you're likely to score well on the CompTIA exams. An example? I squeaked out a 76% on the two Practical Applications practice tests from the book and Web site, and then after studying the suggested "weak" areas, scored 850 on the CompTIA exam.
In short, if you're not comfortable with your knowledge and abilities, pick this up and try the tests to see where you need to build yourself up. If you ARE, pick it up anyway and see if you know what you think you know.
