 A good study guide... July 20, 2008
This book is a good study tool for preparing for the Comptia A+ exams. I haven't taken either exam as of yet, but I think I am better prepared after going through this book and taking the practice tests. The answers are explained thoroughly, so just reading through them is a good review. I'm glad I made this purchase.
 Harder than the real thing and highly recommended! June 28, 2008

Let me ask you a question: when you sit for the A+ exams, do you want to barely pass or do you want to ace them? If yours is the second choice, then I must insist that you get this book.
As other reviewers have noted, these practice questions are often much more difficult than the real questions... and that is a good thing! On the real exams, two of the possible answers will usually be clearly wrong and two will be plausible. To choose the correct answer, you must be able to see through trick questions and really know your stuff. I can think of no better resource than this one to help you accomplish that goal.
Cliffnotes review May 28, 2008
This product was good but the question in it aren't exactly like the test they are harder question than the actual test.
 More Difficult than the Real Test April 7, 2008
3 out of 3 found this review helpful
I passed the Essentials and 220-602 tests using only A+ Certification All-in-One Exam Guide, Sixth Edition (A+ Certification All in One Exam) and this book. In addition to the practice tests in this Cliffs book, I used the practice tests in the CD that comes with Meyers' book, and additional practice tests that come bundled with CompTIA test vouchers purchased from Meyers' company.
The Meyers' tests were easier than the tests in this book. I passed the Meyers' tests with scores over ninety percent. Then I took the practice tests in the Cliffs books and got about forty percent of the questions wrong. This was true for both the Essentials and 602 tests.
I found that the degree of difficulty on the actual test is closer to the Meyers' practice tests than the tests in this Cliffs book. My performance on the Cliffs tests unnecessarily made me question whether I was adequately prepared for the actual certification tests. However, I learned valuable information from the review of the correct answers in the Cliffs book that will be useful in the real world.
Taking many practice tests, noting my errors, re-reading the relevant sections of the Meyers' book or looking up the information on whatis.com, and re-taking the practice tests was a successful strategy for me. If you want to follow that strategy, go ahead and use this book. If you do well on these tests, you should feel confident about the actual exams!
Not the best, but good. March 23, 2008
I used and compared three different practice test books before taking the test. The questions in this book are of comparable difficulty but often of different format than those in the real test. Also, I found that many of the questions were a bit vague, and occasionally I found that the correct answer to a question was very debatable. That said, for the price, this is a good study book. The best book, however, is the exam cram book.
