My experience with this exam was years ago, and that was when it was a
single test.  Now it is two separate exams.  I would suggest to read a text
book that has the exact exam number on the cover.  Also make sure that you
are running a Debian flavor and a RedHat flavor system, and work with those
machines ... a lot.  This exam from CompTIA I found was well written and the
scenarios that are given to you test practical knowledge and not just
memorizing commands.

Subject: CompTIA Linux+ Cert Exam Prep

Hello All,

I am preparing to take the CompTIA Linux+ cert exam. I have read the McGraw
Hill "All-In-One LPIC-1/CompTIA Linux+ Certification Exam Guide"
by Robb Tracy and have started the Sybex "CompTIA Linux+ Complete Study
Guide" by Roderick W. Smith. I have downloaded the "official" exam
objectives from CompTIA and I have the practice exams from TestKing. My
problem is this - about 50% of the practice questions from the TestKing
LX0-101 exam are not covered in either of the books; about 90% of the
questions from the TestKing LX0-102 practice exams are not covered in either
book. What I would like to know from anyone who has taken the exam is this -
do I study and prepare from the books and the CompTIA exam objectives or the
TestKing questions? Which is more representative of the actual questions I
will see on the exam?

Thank You,

Joe Hargis
