Average Rating:  out of 5 stars

Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - It worked for me
I'm an independent contractor. I need certifications to establish credibility with my customers. Without it, I'm just another geek and who knows if I know what I'm talking about.

I don't have a huge company behind me with a big training budget. It comes out of my own pocket.

I used this book to prepare for the A+ exam and passed it on the first try.

Don't expect a thrilling read. It's workman like and to the point. You will be tempted to skip over sections that ... Read More



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Great read for experienced users!!!
The book itself is a great cram read for Comptia A+ exam, because it does touch upon the material that will be covered, but I recommend video tutorials for those who are new to the computing technology. Supplementing this reading with video tutorials from either transignal or cbt nuggets, you will definitely pass the exam. For those who have doing IT for more than 2 years, this book is just fine.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - A+ Preparation MUST
Although I have not yet taken CompTIA A+ exam, I can say I am very satisfied with what I have read and studied so far from this book. This book has a lot of detailed information cramed into a relatively small package. If nothing else, it has certainly given me the confidence to take on the high priced CompTIA A+ exam.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - An Excellent Resource - But know what you are buying.
This is an excellent resource and it helped me considerably to pass my A+ exams.

The author explains things very clearly with excellent visual aides and examples.

I would offer one word of caution. This is an exam cram intended for someone who already has the general knowledge covered in the A+ Objectives. If you come into it without that experience, this book doesn't go into enough detail on all of the subjects to fully prepare you.

One minor black mark. I found ... Read More



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - If you need to pass the exam, get this book!
If you've got some level of experience (personal or professional) with installing, configuring, and troubleshooting PC hardware and Windows (XP/Vista), this is the perfect book to get you to prep for and more importantly, pass the A+ Exam the first try. If you don't have any of that experience, this book is still helpful, but I'd recommend practicing (ie. building a PC, installing/configuring a Windows OS, etc.) alongside reading through the book to see first hand the material being covered.
