 Book Too Big March 16, 2006
1 out of 11 found this review helpful
This book is gigantic. It's full of "in between" information and is not suitable for an IT grad or someone with experience. The A+ is not a professional exam, its an entry level exam. I recommend the fast pass or something written by Mike Meyers.
 Great Book! - Good True-to-Life Questions! March 14, 2006

This is a great book set. I havn't finished it yet, and from what I've read in the questions they do infact cover a good amount of the actual test content. Of course, not word-for-word but subject-wise, a lot of the questions are similar. While a lot of the content dealing with the A+ test is basicially garbage since computing today doesn't require knowledge of the IRQ of a floppy drive. In my opinion, this "Garbage Content" is a bad reflection upon CompTIA. Anyway, James Jones has made this book's information clear and concise to coincide with the test, and he has done a great job of it. James Jones A+, CompTIA C- (At best).
Finally Passed! Great books! January 3, 2006

The materials in this Study Kit is very detailed compared to some of the kits out there. There were one or two questions that had 3 answers when they state to "select two", and vice versa, but they were few. As long as you study and know your materials, you'll do great. The Exam Cram 2 book does make you understand technical materials by using other real world examples and a great sense of humor. Pay attention to the Alerts! The Practice Questions book bombards you with questions on given exam Domains, and that's great! Shows your weak areas to work on. You should not rely on just these Study Kit books. They didn't appear to have some information on Operating Systems that the A+ Complete Study Guide, Third Edition (220-301 and 220-302) book had, and it wasn't as well organized. Definitely get both sets of books. Where one lacks, the other one makes up for it. Thanks to using both set of books (this Study Kit and the above named book), I passed both A+ exams (220-301 and 220-302) with high marks on the first shot. Good luck on your exam(s).
 Great Review Book, Passed first time! December 7, 2005

This book is a quality book to review for the exam and help you pass on your first try, which i did. But the one thing that has to be made perfectly clear is that this isnt an amazing book, it isnt a reference book really, its a review book. It gives you the general topics, some review questions, and some general knowledge you'll need to know. NOTHING COMPARES TO REAL WORLD EXPERIENCE!!! If you haven't worked on a computer, haven't built one, haven't installed an OS, don't expect to buy this book and pass the test, in all actuallity, don't buy any book and just expect to pass the test. Infact, if you haven't done any of those things, why would you want to get certified? To each there own I guess. Bottom line, if you have done what I listed, have a good knowledge of computers, this book will help you review what you'll need, touch on a few things you might not of thought you needed, and will help you pass.

Great book - easy to comprehend. Going through this book once and going through the included practice test book once I was able to easily pass my A+ certification tests.
