 This book is simply amazing January 22, 2004
I have looked at many books on A+ certification . when I stumbled onto this one. I purchased this book, and I haven't looked back since I'm going for my A+ certification . using this book, I am studying as hard as I can. Using this book . I know that I have a strong chance of accomplishing my goal. This book to me has answered many questions that I had. I have just begun to use this book is so filled with information . all I can say is simply amazing. For the price that Amazon is asking for this book is so much cheaper than a course . there's a CD to with this book that has tests. With every chapter that you complete, you have a test at the end of the contest to see it you were paying attention . you also have the answers to the test to see how well you don't . so far, I've been scoring 90%. Believe me . I've looked at different books, and something drew me to this book and I am extremely satisfied with it. If you're going for your A+ certification or you just want to know more about computers and what everything does inside and how things work then this is your book . good luck

This is *the* best book for A+ preparation, it reads like a novel.... the 900 pages go into your head like water. great book, and I have compared this one to 3 or 4 other giant doorstops. This is by far the easiest to understand and prepare you for the test very thouroughly. If you know half the stuff in this book you will pass the exam without a problem. I did...

The fifth edition leaves you drowning for information. I used the fourth edition to pass the A+ Core exam with flying colors. The fifth edition was used to study for the A+ OS exam, 2003 guidelines. After taking the exam, this book provided at best 25% of the material covered on the exam. While no book should teach to a test, a book dedicated to an exam should teach the material that will be tested. The A+ premium practice exams were purchased from totalsem.com, they too fell well short of preparing an individual to take A+ OS exam.
Not focused enough on the A+ exam December 11, 2003

I recently took the newly updated A+ exam for 2003 and used this book to study for it. I read the entire book and did all the practice questions. I then went back through the main points of the book to make sure that I new the material. When I then took the exam I was surprised at how many questions on the test that were not even addressed in the book.My experience with books that cover certification tests is that you want a book that will cover just the test specific concepts. That way you can focus on passing the exam. The book covers much more than the test and as a result causes you to study pointless topics that will never be asked on the test. The book also misses a lot of what will be asked on the test. Certification books usually will have a small two minute drill like format at the end of each chapter to help go over the main topics and ideas that will probably be asked on the test. This does not have that and makes you have to skim through the entire chapter to try and do a quick review. This book is great if you are new to computers and need an all in one reference, but if you want an A+ exam book that is focused on the exam with little fluff I would look elsewhere.
Great book for 2003 A+ exams December 5, 2003

I saw that a previous reviewer claimed this book doesn't cover the new A+ material ... ?? What does the October publishing date have to do with anything? We've been hearing for ages about new A+ exams, and CompTIA's web site has listed the new objectives for months (not that I've gotten around to studying for the new stuff till now--heh). Lots of new A+ books came out this fall, and I'm sure they all cover the new exams.I just got this book a few weeks ago, and it looks like it's aimed squarely at the new A+ exams. From what I've seen, it does a great job of covering all the material. (I found out how much I still have to learn about Windows XP and wireless!) It's time for me to finally buckle down, study, and get my A+, and I know this book will help get me there. Good luck to everyone else out there who's studying for the A+.
