Book Reviews of CompTIA A+ Complete Study GuideBook Review: Good info, poor organization Summary: 3 StarsThis book is loaded with information and personal accounts about how to pass the A+ exam and demonstrate sound technician abilities. However, I found the book to be poorly organized. By reviewing all material in order of the exam objectives, as this book does, it means that the book will cover some material 2,3 even 4 times (some exam objectives cover the same material). I can't recall how many times I would be reading the book thinking "I've already read this ...", all of which adds to a feeling of inefficient time use. Also, the electronic exams, quizzes and flashcards aren't very good in my opinion. You can't sort the flash cards meaning you have to read them in the same order ever time and there isn't a method to save your quiz scores or review them effectively. Lastly, the book doesn't help organize your study time or give a holistic studying approach, it just gives you a whole lot of information.
With all this being said, the information and writing is strong and the authors give helpful anecdotes and real life examples that bring the material to life. If I were to do it all again I think I would shoot for the examcram book as it looks better organized. Books should be organized for the reader not for the exam. It doesn't really matter what information is in what part of the exam, just that the information is covered at some point. Good luck to everyone on their exams!
