Question for the pro's

I am preparing to take the server+ exam. I am using CBT Nuggets and the exam cram book. For those who have taken this test, do you think these resources will provide me with enough coverage on all the required topics? Thanks for your time.

In my opinion Yes. Wouldn't hurt to throw in another source though.

You can pick up a used copy of this for under $5: http://www.amazon.com/Server%2B-Certification-Bible-Trevor-Kay/dp/0764548093/ref=pd_bbs_sr_2?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1205777109&sr=8-2

CBT Nuggets provide a great overview, but usually aren't enough to pass the test with. I personally don't like the exam cram books. They may give you enough to pass the exam, but they seem to lack a lot of information that other resources have. I'd only use them to brush up over things before I took the exam.

I haven't taken the exam but I think those two resources you mentioned would be sufficent for the exam. Like Tyrant1919 said though it wouldn't hurt to throw in another resource if possible. Unfortunatley there aren't that many up to date resources for the Server+. The only other one I am aware of besides the exam cram is the book from CompTIA.

Thanks for the suggestions, I have alot of knowledge in this area so I am going to choose the exam cram along with the CBT nuggets.
