Summary: Great inexpensive test prep
Review: I purchased the Exam Cram 2 Network+ and the companion Network+ 500 Practice Questions Book. The 500 Practice questions on the cd were great way to test and increase your knowledge before taking the test. I passed the Network+ without a problem. The practice question book and cd would have received 5 stars but there were 11 questions with wrong answers and there was no way to update the data base online as most other cd study guides allow.

Summary: Put togehter very nicley.
Review: Network+ has been around for a while and this book does cover the objective with over 500 questions. Covering the OSI model, TCP/IP basics and many other topics you have a very good set of questions to work with.I like to use this in the classroom as an added teaching tool. I like the MeasureUp testing tool as the student were given a chance to try the "Real" test and see how well they do. I also like the testing tool as an interview addition to see what potential employees have for a knowledge base. While the exam has not change very much there is still some material you can pick up in here. Overall a very good study tool but there needs to be a way to get update to the testing material

Summary: Good but not enough
Review: The questions are good and cover a lot of what's on the test. The CD that came with my book "Measure UP" was really good except for some incorrect answers and some typos. Usually if you select the actual correct answer it will show that you got it wrong, but if you read the description of the answer, you did in fact answer the question correctly.
I took the exam on 9/10/04 and passed with a 740 out of 900 (646 is passing) Even though this is the only thing I purchased and studied to pass my exam, I must state that if I didn't have a few years of network administration/troubleshooting under my belt I probably wouldn't be able to pass this exam.
Again, I think this is an excellent book and more than half of the questions that I saw on the test were covered in these practice questions, but you will need to either read additional material for those lacking in experience, or you will need a couple years of troubleshooting under your belt to help you out.
Thanks Exam Cram for your study guides and techniques.
I'm off to go get my CCNA next!!

Summary: Mistake Cram2
Review: What amazes me is how something like this could ever be published. The book is a puny sub-200 page question and answer study guide with a minimum of four mistakes per chapter. Problems with this book include: outdated content, repeat questions, poor explanations to many of the questions, obvious incorrect answers, and sections of detailed answers that have no related questions. How hard would it be to go through this book and polish it up? I would only recommend this book as a memorization guide. If you have a good handle on the concepts you will be able to find your way around all the errors. As far as learning anything from it is concerned, I'd be wary of because of all the simple mistakes.
