A very concise and easy to understand book. Its more of a Classroom book but also very easy to use as a stand alone Reference book. I'm currently taking Classes and this book has been more than Very Helpful, and the Price could'nt be beat.
 Eh. Was a good read. August 15, 2007

I had to read the whole book on pdf because a friend of mine had lost my book, but I had the cd rom. I bought this book to study for the exam; which I believe that is what it was intended for. The main drawback I had was I wanted to study the glossary, which was not in the book at all, you have to look at it on pdf and then you can't print it. This was a major disappointment for me.

I wish people would take the tests before rating these books.
My scores are 810/900 and 840/900 for Essentials and 602 respectively. Passing scores are 675 and 700 with 100 being the minimum.
I bought this book and Mike Meyers' A+ Certification Passport, Third Edition (Mike Meyers' Certification Passport) by the same author. I also bought the exam vouchers from them which came with 300 practice questions. Both books come with practice questions both in the books and additional ones on the accompanying CDs. However, the CDs and the downloaded questions were mostly repeats and nothing like the actual exams (same goes for the books).
I have over twenty years of tinkering with computers. I was an aerospace engineer and an Oracle database programmer. I just wanted to get this Certification for kicks. There is a lot of fluff in both books which has nothing to do with the exams. Neither book really tells you how the actual exam questions are like. Actual exams are generally much simpler and test you mostly on your broad knowledge rather than the fine details (the exams does not ask which socket Pentium II uses, but it does ask what does a series of long beeps mean after you boot up). If you know the basics and understand the logic, you will pass. You still need to know some details, but they are not the hard ones. There has to be better book out there.
Even though I already knew 80% of the subject matter, I studied real hard. There is more stuff in the other book worth knowing though (not for the test). But personally, fluff puts me to sleep. Just keep it brief and to the point and pertinent to the test, that's what the books are selling.
If you buy these books, make sure you already have some experience in the field and that you really study these books like a text book.
Pretty good, but a few mistakes here and there July 22, 2007
I passed both of the tests, Essentials and IT Technician, after only having read this book, so I guess it's a pretty good book for anyone thinking about getting the A+ Certification. However, I did find quite a bit of mistakes in the book relating to the questions at the very end of each chapter, sometimes the answer that was supposed to be right, wasn't. Besides that though, this book is a must for anyone going for the exams.
