Passed the exam using this book as my primary study guide. Also took advantage of a few online freebies but most were geared toward the 601/602. I have 15 years of IT equipment sales experience but no official technical experience. This book was just the ticket to bridge the gap. I passed the 701 with 870/900 and 15 min to spare.

Pros: Easy read. Great presentation and organization. A lot of down and dirty "Exam ... Read More

I'm about half way through this book, and I've learned a lot! I ordered another version and it was boring, full of history, (that is nice to know but not necessary to pass a test). It is easily understood and a quick read. You read then take a quick quiz, hopefully I will be able to pass the A+ exam soon, we'll see....

I used this book for about a month. Studied from A to Z and today I passed the second test. This book is well organized and practice questions were adequate to test your knowledge.
