Better than taking a class!

I want to stress to everyone reading this review that this book was all I needed to pass the A+ tests with great scores. Many websites and people will tell you that the A+ tests are very difficult and that you need to sign up for a class that probably costs $1,000 or more. This is absolutely false information. I studied this book (read and took notes, made flash cards, did the practice exams on the CD, etc.) for about three hours per day for two weeks over Christmas break. I then signed up and took the tests and aced them!

Plethora of Knowledge

This book covers so much of PC hardware information. It will take a while for people who consider themselves "above average" users, but even if you don't complete the A+ exam, there is tons of useful information.

Book prepared me well

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.

Good book

I bought this book with the intentions of learning how to pass the A+ exam. When i got it, i was really surprised how thick it was. At 800+ pages, it looks a little daunting. After picking the book up and reading it, i was pleasantly surprised. The book flows very well and is an easy read. I already know most of it, but i can see it being easy for a beginner to pick up. As far as the CD, i didn't have any problems at all with the test engine, and the E-book is a nice addition. At around 100mb, you can throw the Ebook on a thumbdrive and take it to work with you and keep reading there.

Loved This Book

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.
