Test Yourself A+ Certification, 3rd Edition

Summary: Test Yourself A+ ??
Review: I have never returned a book - until now. I returned both the soft cover and the text book. The number of errors was disgusting, considering those with no prior computer background are counting on this book to give them the information they need to pass the test! The text was bad enough, but the soft cover had answers that conflicted with the text, and the text's free software to help you test yourself was also full of bugs. Pass this one by - try the Sybex A+ Complete. I received a score of over 90% using only this book. Good luck.

Summary: God Awful
Review: I just took the A+ exams covering the 2001 objectives. If you can decipher the questions in this book, you will ace the exam with no problem. There are many inaccuracies in the text, and many of the questions are either poorly written or are very ambiguous. Rest assured, the CompTIA A+ exams have questions that are of much higher quality. Pass over this book - it probably will confuse you more than it will help you.

Summary: What a pile of...
Review: I recently brought this book and I to will return it, it is the single most useless use of paper I have ever seen, a lot of the questions are badly worded and their "answers" are inconsistency with the preceding text. This book is hazardous in the hands of a beginner. I hope the publisher reads these responses and amends any future releases.

Summary: I want my money back
Review: Recently took the 2001 objectives. Passed the OS in May 2001 with an 840 and the HW 3 weeks earlier with a 878. These questions were the least like the ones I had on my tests. Save your money. If you're only going to buy one book (and you shouldn't) Buy the Mike Meyers book. If you're seriously going to pursue this certification, lurk in the alt.certification.a-plus newsgroup for a while. Good luck!
