Excellent! This is the best book to use to study for the A+ exams. It even came with a CD containing practice tests. All this for 35 dollars is pretty darn good.
The Best A+ prep This was the first book I bought when I decided to pursue a tech career, and I couldn't have made a better choice. What sets this book apart from all the other A+ prep books I've seen is that it has Mike Meyers' unique voice all over it. He's a good writer, explains concepts clearly and in depth, and best of all does it with enthusiasm and humor. I would also recommend his Net+ book- more of the same.
A+ Certification is a very good study! A+ Certification is a very good study. It comes complete with readable text format. I'm still working towards the cert, however; with this studing is a breeze. I give this text three thumbs up.
Literally 'All In One' Although before reading this book I had experience relavent to the exam, this book goes over tech specs relavent to the exam that you rarely see on the job (SCSI Termination, RAMBUS RAM, etc.). Some may argue that this sort of stuff is irrelavent, but if your out for knowledge and not just to pass the test then you will agree with me that this sort of book makes you an 'uber geek' when it comes to PC/Windows troubleshooting. In my opinion, this book is designed more for the Corporate IT environment, where Windows reigns supreme, doesnt touch on Linux or Mac Nearly as much, but does cover them. I am confident that someone haivng never opened a PC could pick up this book, armed with a copy of Windows 2000/XP, and an old 486 or better, could become A+ certified. NOTE: this version does not cover Vista, but having taken the exam March 2008 I can tell you Vista is not covered yet, and everything in the book is still very much important, and 90% ports over to Vista.
Great Study Guide I have been in IT for 10 years. We in the IT world tend to read into test questions too much. This book put everything into perspective regarding the level of answer that is required to do well on the test. This book has definitely assisted me to understand the new CompTIA A+ test, which helped me to pass with flying colors the Essentials and IT Technician tests. Thanks to this book I am now A+ certified. Like Mike Myers said in the book. Turn off the T.V. and study.
