Excellent format and presentation

This book is well layout and written. I've taken to Sybex press books of late due to their layouts and presentation of materials.
The bonus material makes a big difference!
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 16 years ago
This book (the Deluxe Edition) is the same as the Study Guide with a few exceptions and those are exceptions worth noting: more study material in the form of bonus questions and appendices. One of the appendices - the lab manual - gives you hands-on exercises to walk you through the steps to not only know what the exam questions are talking about, but be able to relate them to the real world.
Great book, all I needed to pass

I purchased this book 3 weeks before I sat for the exam. The book content, flash cards and 4 practice exams were just the right balance to pass the exam. I would recommend this book to anyone needing/wanting to get the Security+ certification.
