 CD is worthless December 14, 2007
2 out of 5 found this review helpful
If you get this book to take advantage of the CD, you just wasted your money.
The book in itself is great but they couldve done away with the CD and sold it at a lower price.
The Osborne McGraw CD gets this book its low score but the LearnKey customer service should get a 20+ stars for its tenaciousness in helping me get the problem resolved. It basically boils down to downloading 4 exe files from 3 different sources, changing the folder the disc wants to download to and rebooting about 2X.
All in all, way too much then what should have to be done to view a simple video training demo.
Do yourselves a favor, STAY AWAY FROM OSBORNE BOOKS WITH CDs.
Its not worth the trouble. The actual content of the book itself is fantastic and very condusive for someone just starting. The CD makes a noble effort to be a frisbee. And it cant even do that well.
CompTIA A+ Certification Exam Guide Sixth Edition November 22, 2007

I took the exam on Sep 17, 2007 and I passed both of them.
730 on Essential
840 on IT Technician.
I would say that almost every answer on the tests can be found in the book. If you remember and understand every single word in the book, you will not need to do the practice exam, you will pass guarantee it.
I would say the practice exam is easier than on the real exam. You MIGHT want to buy additional study guide, like Exam Cram, so that you can work on hard, even harder questions in relate to the A+ exam. Of course if you memorize every single word in the book, about 1150 pages, you won't need no practice exam, lol.
After all, this book worths the money. The author writes the book in simple language but still pertain to his technical knowledge, which makes it easier to understand and absorb. I strongly recommend anyone who is going to take the A+ exam to read this book first.
 GOOD BOOK - PLEASE READ IF YOU ARE PLANNING TO GET CERTIFIED October 15, 2007

Hi guys: Please read carefully, I really want to help those wanting to get A+ Certified to do it right. This is a good book the reason i gave it 3 stars are:
1st the book has some errors and i can tell you that it doesn't cover a 100% what's coming in the exam. (trust me i just passed essentials this morning)
2nd the Historical/Essentials/IT Technician divisions are worthless. DO NOT TRUST THEM AND STUDY ONLY ESSENTIALS PARTS FOR THE ESSENTIAL EXAM FOR EXAMPLE!! study all the chapter thoroughly
The book helped me a lot but Im also an experience technician (5+yrs) who just decided to take the test. I DO NOT RECOMMEND TRYING TO TAKE THE TEST USING THIS BOOK OR ANY BOOK IF YOU DONT HAVE ANY RELEVANT PREVIOUS COMPUTER KNOWLEDGE OR PREVIOUS EXPERIENCE IN TECHNICAL SUPPORT ROLES!!(GET YOURSELF INTO TRAINING PROGRAM, REMEMBER IS NOT JUST PASSING THE EXAM IS REALLY KNOWING WHAT TO DO AND WHERE TO START) AND I ALSO DO NOT RECOMMEND TO THIS BOOK AS THE ONLY STUDY SOURCE!! You will need comprehensive knowledge and previous experience to pass this (unless you are a genius!) and I also recommend CompTIA Press books over any other books, is worth it and you will be on a safer path to pass the exam
