Using ciscopress book to pass Network+
On the official CCNA book it said it also prepares you for the Network+ exam. Has anyone used the official cisco book for the network+ exam or did you use other material. I was just wondering because I don't want to buy another book if the cisco books has enough information in it.

The CIsco Press books should be more than adequate for the Net+ exam. Idealy you should be able to pass the Net+ with flying colors after the CCNA, even just the CCNA Intro 640-821 test.Go Hawks - 7 and 2

The Cisco press books for the CCNA exam, or CCNA exams, or not adequate to use as your only preparation for the current Network+ exam. There are simply too many topics, some of wich are major on the Network+ exam, that are not covered at all in the CCNA exam/books. Examples are Mac OS/Appleshare IP, AFP, IPX/SPX, Netware client configuration, SCP, and a bunch of other exam objectives. So I recommend getting at least one product (book, CBT) that focusses on the Network+ topics the CompTIA way, which apart from technical topics, is important for the troubleshooting domain. (Or... use google to fill in the gaps. Nevertheless, for the huge amount of overlap between the two exams, the Cisco CCNA books will probably be amongst the best preparation tools for the Network+ exam.

Would anyone that has taken the Net+ say that the practice questions on here are similar to those on the test in regards to what you need to know.
