 Only Study Guide needed for New A+ Exam Format January 11, 2007
A. Harris (Houston, TX)
14 out of 14 found this review helpful
This was the only study guide I needed for the new A+ exams (Essentials, IT technician, Remote). I passed both the Essentials and IT technician tests easily with scores in the 835 range. I spent about a month studying with the book for each exam module. The book does a great job of laying out the information for each particular exam. In addition, it guide is an excellant easy to ready reference manual.
If you are looking for one study guide to pass the new A+ exam format, this is the one to get.
Book prepared me well February 16, 2007

Definitely the best book I saw to review. I studied from this book only, knew everything in it, and I got 830/900 on the essentials exam, and 850/900 on the IT exam (passing scores were 675 and 700 respectively).
Only complaint is that the CD that comes with it is buggy. Although it provides many extra questions which are helpful, several of the questions are filled with bugs, like they mark the wrong answer right, or on one of the practice exams one question was repeated a dozen times.
Still the best book and definitely worth it.

I would highly recommend this book. Not only did it help me pass the exam, it also taught how to apply what I learned to my every-day job.
I have to respectfully disagree with the previous review. This was a very comprehensive study guide, and covered all the topics I expected to find on the exam. I thought it was very well organized, followed a logical order, and had the the extras I expect to find from Sybex: Exam Essentials, Hands-on Exercises, Review Questions, and so on.
It was also very easy to read. Unlike some books--Mike Meyer's for one--the authors are not pompus or over the top. They are straight forward, not making any assumptions about the reader's intelligence or sense of humor.
Got me A+ Certified December 11, 2007

The A+ cert is considered the entry level IT and comptia recommends a certain amount of experience in a field before taking there certs. That being said I have about 7 solid document years of IT experience, I took the essential exam with minimal preparation and failed. Decided to buy this book which corresponds with the newly revamped 2007 A+ exam. Followed the easy to read book to the T, did all the practice exams and chapter exams. Sybex recommends a score of 80% or better on a chapter exam to achieve proficiency. The sybex certification books are some of the best as they are easy to read and follow, even with my experience I learned quite a bit that I didn't know such the white paper of various printer technologies. This is a great book that comes with a CD with practice exams and the entire text in pdf, this book will get you certified.
All anyone should need to become A+ certified is this book April 24, 2008

I learned all the basics hands on and never got around to getting my certification for about 6 years. I recently decided to get it taken care of and found out about all the new inclusions. After looking through the reviews of all the possible choices this book seemed to shine and it does. I passed the 601 and 602 exams just fine with the help of this book. It's very in-depth and very worth the price! I liked this one so much I'm going to look toward this series for my Network+ and CCNA.
