I really wish I could rate this book more than 5 stars. After reading it you can tell how thorough it is packed with information that will help anyone pass the exam but its taught in a way that anyone can understand the concepts. I have ready many a book on this topic but Ian finds a way to give examples that will make anyone understand the topic. On top of this wonderful book he has a website with a self study guide, flash cards, and labs that will prepare you to pass the exam on your first try. You want to get your Security +? What are you waiting for buy the book and get the results.

I passed my security plus exam today and it was all thanks to Ian Neil’s book. The study material and test prep exams are fantastic a must buy!!!

I finished ch. 1 last night... one of the things I like about your guide is the open ended questions at the end of each chapter.It requires memory recall and the need to go back into the chapter if need be. In my opinion it helps to reinforce what I'm learning. Most guides have multiple choice which does require someone to still know the information but one can also do process of elimination if an educated guess is required.Everyone has different learning styles which is why most people advise learners to find a video course, a guide, and labs.He also provides a free website with practice questions and flash cards.

The goal of this book is to prepare the reader to pass the Security+ exam, and it worked!This book is written well even for those who haven’t worked in cybersecurity (like I haven’t). It gives thorough explanations without being overwhelming.Practical examples throughout the book provide the “why,” “why not,” and “when” which I did not get from other popular books.Exam Tips are labeled as such and are in easy-to-spot boxes inside the reading.Chapter Review Questions are well written with detailed answers in the back of the book.Illustrations give visual reinforcement of text. White space is plentiful allowing for smooth flow and for easily spotting information when answering questions or reviewing.There is an excellent free Companion Website, too. It has a 12-week study guide, flash cards, labs, mock exams, PBQs, videos, etc.
