The IP Subnetting Video and Practice Questions Kit – or the PQK – is a practice exam with over 900 IPv4 subnetting questions of various types. The title includes the word “video”, but the video exists solely to answer questions about the product and the types of questions, and is meant mainly for reference. At its core, the Practice Questions Kit gives you:
- Types: Practice on 9 different types of IP subnetting problems
- Volume: More questions that most people need to move from novice to master with each subnetting process
- Explanations: Each question includes a detailed explanation of the process that you should use to find the answer
- Consistency: the PQK uses the same shortcut processes found in all the other Subnetting products
You can access the IP Subnetting PQK at O’Reilly Learning or purchase it from Pearson from these links:
