Best book to use?

Michael.J.Palmer

I plan on studying for my Network+ after I finish up in my current cert path towards A+ and I was wondering what the best book to use was? This will be the first certification where I didn't have the information spoon fed to me daily through four or five different mediums so I just need some help.

Keep in mind I plan on buying it off Amazon so any links would be helpful as well. I'll of course use the free study material located on this website just to try and utilize as much as I can.

I used the Comptia press book but it's not available on Amazon (ISBN 978-1-4260-0609-8 ). If you're looking for Video training though I highly recommend testout labsim. It has a lot of demonstrations on making cables and programming switches and stuff. It also has questions at the end of every section and practice tests. I could have probably done better on the test if I had just used the Labsim, as some people at WGU did, and skipped the book. I was happy making an 865 though. And I learned the material.

I would get the ExamCram book as well for the Network+. It makes an excellent second book to hit before the exam. I felt that it was written very well.

I am personally using this one and I have found it to be a very good study guide:

Amazon.com: CompTIA Network+ Study Guide: Exam N10-004 (9780470427477): Todd Lammle: Books

Amazon.com: CompTIA Network+ Certification Study Guide, Fourth Edition (Certification Press) (9780071615389): Glen Clarke: Books This is the book I used. It was a really good read. Rather than sit there and bore yourself until you stopped reading, I couldn't set this one down. Passed the test with a high score, as did the person who used this book before me and told me I should use it.

I'm going with the All-In-One book, another Mike Meyers publication. Hasn't let me down yet
