This book is organized according to the official objectives list prepared by CompTIA for the Network+ Exam N10-006. The chapters correspond to the five major domains of objective and topic groupings. In fact, the exam is weighted across these five domains as follows:

■ Domain 1.0 Network Architecture (22 percent)

■ Domain 2.0 Network Operations (20 percent)

■ Domain 3.0 Network Security (18 percent)

■ Domain 4.0 Troubleshooting (24 percent)

■ Domain 5.0 Industry Standards, Practices, and Network Theory (16 percent)

Within each chapter, the top-level exam objective from each domain is addressed in turn. This discussion of each objective also contains an “Exam Essentials” section. Here you are given a short list of topics that you should explore fully before taking the test. Included in the “Exam Essentials” areas are notations on key pieces of information you should have taken out of CompTIA Network+ Review Guide.

At the end of each chapter you’ll find the “Review Questions” section. These questions are designed to help you gauge your mastery of the content in the chapter.

Tips for Taking the Network+ Exam

Here are some general tips for taking your exams successfully:

■ Bring two forms of ID with you. One must be a photo ID, such as a driver’s license. The other can be a major credit card or a passport. Both forms must include a signature.

■ Arrive early at the exam center so you can relax and review your study materials, particularly tables and lists of exam-related information.

■ Read the questions carefully. Don’t be tempted to jump to an early conclusion. Make sure you know exactly what the question is asking.

■ Don’t leave any unanswered questions. Unanswered questions give you no opportunity for guessing correctly and scoring more points.

■ There will be questions with multiple correct responses. When there is more than one correct answer, a message on the screen will prompt you to either “Choose two” or “Choose all that apply.” Be sure to read the messages displayed so you know how many correct answers you must choose.

■ Questions needing only a single correct answer will use radio buttons to select an answer, while those needing two or more answers will use check boxes.

■ When answering multiple-choice questions you’re not sure about, use a process of elimination to get rid of the obviously incorrect answers first. Doing so will improve your odds if you need to make an educated guess.

■ On form-based tests (non-adaptive), because the hard questions will eat up the most time, save them for last. You can move forward and backward through the exam.
