This is so much easier to understand than the CompTIA book. My whole class used this and passed on the first try!

It was the best of times... it was the worst of times. A well-written tragedy that will most assuredly bring you to tears. Plot twist - the ending is totally up to you.

Night and day as compared to the brown spine for the 601 I'd read before decided to take the new test. Is clear, concise, yet elaborative in all the right places. Did very well on the test, am attributing that largely to this.

I have Signed copy, because I was taught by this man. The course was by far the best possible way to learn. Teaching in a way to get the hardest and longest parts out the way first helps a HELL of a lot. And then follow that up with learning what you have trouble with, then finally all the areas that covers everything else. I passed on my first attempt due to his teaching methods. Ian, Cheers 🍺! You made Africa a core memory for me. Thanks!
