 Excellent Reference and Exam Study GuideFeb 24, 2007
By Bela Meer
I've just passed the RFID+ exam after preparing mostly from this book. The author seems to have a knack of making difficult concepts easier to understand without compromising accuracy. The whole book flows like a story and there is no hopping from topic to topic as is usually found in most exam study guides. No fluff---just nuggets of information---yet all concepts explained in a crisp, concise, and easy to understand way. I know that it takes tons of experience and skills to write a book in this way.
First chapter refreshed my Math and basic Physics concepts necessary to understand the material in the book. Each chapter begins with listing the exam objectives that will be covered in the chapter; so I knew where I was in my exam preparation. It was also re-assuring to see that all the exam objectives were covered. Each chapter ends with a list of definitions of important terms introduced in the chapter. Each concept is defined and explained where it appears the first time...this makes this book self-contained and easy to understand.
The way material is presented, you do not need any other reference or any prior knowledge of RFID to understand this book. Actually, if you read this book first, all other books will make much more sense.
The coverage of the exam topics is comprehensive enough and the questions in the practice exam are quite realistic. I liked the exercises (and solutions) throughout the chapters, which helped me to comprehend the difficult concepts. Notes, Tips, and Alerts re-enforced the important points. Although I have passed the exam, this book is going to stay on my shelf, as I find it an excellent reference book too; a nice introduction to the field.
If you want to enter the magnificent field of RFID, this book is your gateway.

Best RFID+ Study Guide: Read This Book Before Any Other RFID BookApr 22, 2007
By AndyMoorty
I found this Study Guide best among all the available RFID+ study guides. The exam objectives are fairly covered and the questions in the sample exam are very close to the questions in the real exam. The book explains everything from scratch, and is very self-contained. You must read this book first before you read any other study guide or any other RFID book.
I also learned RFID while preparing for the exam. Very useful book indeed.

Good Start for Preparing the RFID+ ExamMay 12, 2007
By G. Chang
I just passed the exam! I prepared the CompTIA RFID+ exam based on two books: this one and the one by Patrick Sweeney. I began by reading this book, and after reading it thoroughly, I moved on and read Patrick Sweeney's book. I think Paul Sanghera has done a good job by organizing the book well and introducing the concepts in a clear manner. Except for some apparent typos, this book is better for beginners than Patrick Sweeney's one. But Patrick Sweeney's book is a good compliment to this one. If you really want to pass the exam, reading two books will be more helpful. The practice exam CD from Patrick Sweeney's book is also better than Paul Sanghera's. The actual exam questions are quite distinctive from the practice questions you can find in either books. The questions in the real test are apparently longer, and require more comprehension of the RFID basics. After reading these two books, you should be able to pass the exam like I did. Of course, if you have, like, 10 years of working experiences on RFID, it's possible to pass the exam by reading this book alone.

 Good introductory book - some issues thoughMar 30, 2007
By Harry T. Sunderland
"AIT HHDer"
I am preparing to take the RFID+ certification exam in Mid-April '07. I found this to be a very good higher level book to read first with the intention of reading a second more low level book afterwards. The book did contain quite a few grammatical errors and a couple of the end of chapter review tests answers were off (I think Chapter 3 supplies all incorrect answers for the review questions), but other than that it's not a bad book and it does a good job of targeting the exam objectives. I would recommend following it up with Patrick Sweeney's CompTIA RFID+ book which is a more intermediate level book and will fill in some of the holes such as specific standards overviews, that this one leaves (if you can handle the constant Odin Technologies plugs that Sweeney puts into his books). 4 out of 5 stars seems fair for this one.
 one of the two most useful books I found for the examDec 27, 2010
By Elwin Ransom
I passed the Comptia exam on the first attempt and this book is one of the reasons why. The book provides a lot of practice questions that I found invaluable.It also explains the physics of RFID in a lot more details than the other exam guides.
The other book that helped me pass was CompTIA RFID+ Study Guide: Exam RF0-001. I would also recommend a terminology guide like RFID Terminology in Plain English
