Howdy, some of the better exam material that I am using are the Exam Cram series. There is an Exam Prep book that has alot more material than the Cram and is a good book. Another is the MCSA prep book by Osborne press All-In-One exam guide. THis is also pretty good and covers all of the core exams. this is also assuming that you are going to use the Comtia path to bypass the elective exam. Robert
