Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I write this review with hopes it will help another IT enthusiast like myself. I passed my Network+ Exam yesterday (August 3rd) on my first try. I have zero networking experience, and my only prior knowledge of networking was the introduction to networking class I took while working on my Bachelors in Information Technology. I gave myself one month from receiving this book until I was in the Exam room. I did just that and felt that this book was beneficial. For those of you that have little to no knowledge of networking, this book will help give you an excellent overview of networking. Professor Meyers has a unique method of piecing everything together as you progress throughout the book. Depending on your learning style, I would suggest other material on top of this book when taking the exam. It was difficult, and I don't believe I would have passed just by reading this book alone. The book provided a great foundation of general knowledge on each key objective. However, I used two other study materials to be safe. Professor Messer's videos were beneficial, as well as printing off his PDF notes. His videos are linear with the learning objectives. Which was great to follow up with after cramming this study guide; additionally I found Certmaster was well worth the price. About 800 questions overall and had a quick learning method of re-quizzing you on areas you struggled on. My study methodology: Cram Network+ 007 study guide in two weeks (About 55 pages a day) One week of binging Professor Messer's videos (12 Hours total playing time) One week of CertMaster, and any other areas I felt that I need additional research. I hope this helps those of you that are nervous about the exam like I was.
