Reviewer Rating:
Book has quite a few grammatical errors and I find this disconcerting. Proofing is obviously a lost art. Having read several CompTIA books there is a general lack of preciseness in this field. Authors are obviously not to blame and their work is exceptional. Not only the misspelled words but lack of detail in matching questions to correct answers in Practice Exams. Example (and this is one that could easily cost you 10 points on the exam) is in question 13 of Practice Exam 1. Question is "Which of the following best describes false acceptance?" Answer given is (A) that says, "The system recognizes an authorized person and accepts that person". The correct answer should be "The system recognizes an UNauthorized person and accepts that person".
The online book has the correct answer
