Product Description
Product Description
If you're preparing for the new CompTIA 2006 certification in A+, or the current Network+ and Security+ certifications, you'll find this book invaluable. It provides all the information you need to get ready for these exams, including the four new A+ exams -- the required Essentials exam and three elective exams that pertain to your area of specialization.
As with other O'Reilly Nutshell books for certification exams, A+, Network+ and Security + in a Nutshell follows a proven style and approach. It reviews all of the topics needed to master each exam in a remarkably concise format, with required knowledge boiled down to the core. Instead of plowing through 500 to 700 pages to prepare for each exam, this book covers each one in approximately 150 pages. And because the objectives for the three elective A+ exams are redundant, and the book covers them in one section.
The exams covered include:
- A+ Essentials: Required for A+ 2006 certification
- EXAM 220-602: For the A+ IT Technician specialization
- EXAM 220-603: For the A+ Remote Support Technician specialization
- EXAM 220-604: For the A+ IT Depot specialization
- EXAM N10-003: For Network+ Certification
- EXAM SYO-101: For Security+ Certification
Each exam is covered in three parts: Exam Overview, Study Guide and Prep and Practice. Plenty of detailed tables and screen shots are included, along with study notes and practice questions. Once you have completed the exams successfully, you will find this all-in-one book to be a valuable reference to core administration and security skills.

Great reference.,

This review is from: A+, Network+, Security+ Exams in a Nutshell: A Desktop Quick Reference (Paperback)
This book provides a wide range of information for those wishing to get A+, Network+ and/or Security+ certified, and that already have some understanding of the technology behind it. There are no jokes and no easy-to-remember tips in here: just facts, as it should be.--KRG

Get it for the topics, not for the tests,
By Timothy Walker - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: A+, Network+, Security+ Exams in a Nutshell: A Desktop Quick Reference (Paperback)
O'Reilly books are known for their quality and this one (despite a few inaccuracies) is no exception. Anyone interested in adding entry-level networking and PC repair knowledge to their skill set should add this book to their library. That, however, is not the reason for this review.At the time of this writing, the CompTIA exams referenced by this book either have been updated or are in the process of being updated. While students and shoppers hoping to purchase one book to pass four tests and earn three certifications are bound to be disappointed by this news, there is a silver lining: the information is still valuable, both on the revised exams and in the real world. As such, I still highly recommend the book. 6 of 8 people found the following review helpful

Decent guide, but some pretty terrible inaccuracies,
By Brett Abercrombie - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: A+, Network+, Security+ Exams in a Nutshell: A Desktop Quick Reference (Paperback)
I used this guide to study for my A+ exams. It was a decent guide, but there were some pretty large technical errors in the book. This wouldn't be such a big deal, if it weren't for the fact that the most glaring of the errors is in there *twice* (once for the A+ Essentials exam, and once for the A+ 602/603/604 exam), and the reader is advised to *memorize* specific voltages which are obviously wrong. Other errors include a few practice questions with wrong answers (including one that directly contradicts an earlier warning in the book), and a couple of errors with regards to inputs commonly found on the back of computers.It's also worth mentioning that I haven't yet read the Security+ or Network+ portions of the book, and obviously, since I bought the book, I definitely am not intimately familiar with everything it covers, yet I have found 6 major technical errors. If this weren't a book written as a test prep guide, this wouldn't be such a big deal, but as it stands, I recommend against purchasing this book. 6 of 8 people found the following review helpful
