Good big reference I just passed (January 2003) both A+ exams, using this book as one of my references. It is a solid, comprehensive book. I would recommend using this book as a supplement to one or more of the slim A+ Adaptive Exam books by either Meyers or Crayton. | ||
Good info, but no fun to read This book has a ton of great information, and will get you ready for the exam. Unfortuntly, many of the chapters repeat information from previous chapters. There are some sentences that are verbatim out of earlier chapters. This makes the book boring and a chore to read. This book provides no real insight into the material | ||
NEW RIDERS gets an A+ for the A+ Training Guide! I studied this book inside and out over a 4 week time period and found it to be an excellent buy! The book goes beyond simply preparing you for the exam by including information you will need to know to DO THE JOB. Many readers may be too short-sighted to appreciate this point but it is an excellent one nonetheless. If you want to ace the exam AND know what to do on the job... Buy this book. | ||
Train for A+ Certification A+ Certification Training Guide Charles J. Brooks PUBLISHER: New Riders REVIEWED BY: Barbara Rhoades BOOK REVIEW: The first thing you notice when you open the A+ Certification Training Guide book, is a six page tear-out section on the Core Hardware Service Technician Examination. It is divided into two parts - the Topic and then the Chapter where that topic is discussed. Following this is a 13 page Table of Contents. The 40-page index completes the look-up information sections of the book. In-between, you find 1100 pages of information on installation, diagnosing, maintenance, motherboards and many, many more subjects. They will prepare you for the A+ examination. Want to practice first? At the end of each chapter, there are review questions, exam questions, apply your knowledge section and, best of all----the answers to all of the questions! Warnings, tips, notes, and plenty of graphics make the book a fountain of information. There is also a CD that contains test questions so you can review before your actual test. The (...) price gives you mountains of material for you're A+ Certification. | ||
Too many problems Although this book was laid out following the guidelines of the CompTIA A+ test it at times provided erronous information, or too much information about things that you don't need to know about to pass the test, especially in the OS section. I had to research a lot of answers and questions that didn't sound correct to me. Luckily I have a few years experience with the MS operating systems and could see a lot of the mistakes. The CDROM was almost worthless, the radio buttons would appear one time and then disappear at others, and you would have to use the Tab key to navigate around the test and hope you pressed the enter key at the correct time. They also wanted more money to "un-lock" the adaptive test. There were a lot of answers on the CD that differed when you went to the book. So which was right? I would have to take time out and research the question on the Internet. I wanted to take the test before 1 Sept and just barely made it (848 hardware/710 OS). If you decide to use this book, have another close by and compare answers. | ||
