Book Reviews of CompTIA A+ Complete Study Guide: (Exams 220-601/602/603/604)
Book Review: Excellent exam preparation
Summary: 4 Stars
This book does cover A+ exam objectives, moreover the chapters are arranged well according to the objective which made me feel easier to find the topic of interest or the topic that i need to study further.
With the chapters arranged and written according to compTIA objectives, I found it easier to review what I should study more after I take the test, since the test result will give you explanation in which area you need to review.
As I was an experience technician, I did feel it easy to follow and understand this book and pass the exam just by using this book, but i think this book lacks in the troubleshooting area. The author does give you quite a lot of troubleshooting example from his experience, but ff the author can give a lot more real world example of problems and solutions, i think this book will be perfect for exam preparation as well as on the job reference.
Book Review: Good Study Guide and Reference
Summary: 4 Stars
Overall I think this book is a good buy. I recently passed my A+ exams with a 675 on 601 and 830 on 602. The information is excellent and easy to understand. That said, I wouldn't use it as the only study source. If you're fairly new to the IT field or are in school, I would suggest learning both A+ and Network+ courses before attempting either test.
I would also suggest purchasing practice test questions on all 4 tests regardless which ones you take. (I used Measure Up but I'm sure there are other good ones too). And of course some basic experience with pc repair and assembly, along with at least intermediate knowledge of Windows XP are very helpful. Also, making flash cards with hard to remember information is a big help. Now it's off to Network+ and MCSA.
Book Review: Got the Job done
Summary: 4 Stars
I used this book in conjunction with pass4sure test questions. I read through this book twice and then studied the pass4sure questions for a week. This book is pretty accurate with what is on the exams. I passed the 601 exam with a 857 and the 602 exam with a 861. I feel that if you have sufficient experience in the field you can pass the exams with only this text. Now on to security+ !

Book Review: Thank God...
Summary: 4 Stars
Finally an A+ book that doesn't drown itself in tech terms without actually explaining what it is they are trying to convey. This is as user-friendly as one could hope to get in a study guide. It doesn't go over one's head, if it the subject matter does the author brings it down to earth.
The companion CD is pretty good as well, offering the whole book in .pdf form for downloading on one's iPod or PDA.
Book Review: Pay Attention to the details
Summary: 4 Stars
I just read this book for few weeks to prepare the test of Comptia A+. So far I would like to say this is a good book, giving a clear description of idea and knowledge even for someone with several year experience in IT. But be cautious with the details, You need to understand and remember every words in this book. When you done, you will find yourself really ready not only for the test,but also for your career.
