Welcome to CompTIA® Network+® Practice Tests: Exam N10-008 . This book gives you a focused, timesaving way to review your networking knowledge and prepare to pass the Computing Technology Industry Association (CompTIA) Network+ exam. The book combines realistic exam prep questions with detailed answers and two complete practice tests to help you become familiar with the types of questions that you will encounter on the Network+ exam. By reviewing the objectives and sample questions, you can focus on the specific skills that you need to improve before taking the exam.

The first five chapters of this book are based on the five objective domains published by CompTIA for the N10-008 Network+ exam. There are approximately 200 questions for each objective domain, covering each of the suggested topics. The next two chapters each contain a 100-question practice test covering all of the objective domains. Once you have prepared for each of the objective domains individually, you can take the practice tests to see how you will perform on the actual exam.

The following table gives you the extent, by percentage, that each domain is represented on the actual examination, and where you can find questions in this book that are related to each objective.
