Customer Reviews

A well-written guide for A+ prep

I got this book on the recommendation of a friend, and I'm glad I did. It's well written and easy to read. It covered the information I needed to pass and I'd recommend it to anyone who wants to know what to focus on for the A+ test.

All the information you need

This book accurately covers the 2001 objectives, and uses real-world scenarios to help you understand the concepts. The end-of-chapter test questions are great practice for the real thing!!

Will help you pass if you work at it.

Sometime small packages can have an abundance of wealth inside it. This is true with this book. In only 550 pages you are given more than enough information to pass the newest A+ exam. This book is also tailored made for the classroom environment.The first part, Core Hardware, the book goes over the components, installation and configuration, troubleshooting, safety, power, motherboards, CPUs, memory, networking and printing. As a computer instructor this fits right into the curriculum.Part 1, Operating Systems, you start of at the fundamentals, work with DOS through Windows 2000 professional, installation, configuration and troubleshooting as well as networking. Again the perfect fir into the teaching arena.The book gives you 2-minute drills, self tests, lab questions, figures, tables and diagrams with each chapter. The breakdown is good and the information presented is excellent. The book has made major improvements over the previous versions. Included with the book is the cd-rom with both the CertTrainer, a CBT software application that allows the learning at your pace. Also is ExamSim, which gives you practice tests and there are over 220 questions. Overall a very good value for the money.
