Summary: If you only buy one, make it this one
Review: No one book contains enough information to "Ace" the A+, the knowledge required for that test is too diverse. You need multiple books plus practical experience to be an A+ expert. But if you get this book and pay attention to every line written within it, you will get your c-card. There is no "fluff" (wasted words) in this book. You need to know everything it says you need to know.

Summary: Good Book For Reviewing, Not Enough Pics, Great VALUE!
Review: I used this book after completely reading and highlighting keyfacts of the A+ All In One Certification Guide by Mike Meyers. This book was a great review, and went over a lot of things that the All In One Guide didn't have (but then again, that had a lot that this didn't have). This book had a great way of making my understand some things I didn't get before, but then at some points I felt like I only understood them because I had all ready read through a different A+ book earlier. Also, the book seemed like it would be much shorter than the A+ All In One Guide (this one is only 462 pages while that is 1216 pages) but it ended up not being much shorter because the print was just smaller and this Exam Cram only had a few pictures while the All In One Guide had thousands of pictures.I would recommend this book to anyone who already has some experience in the things that A+ requires, or has already read another book or taken a class before. This is a great review book, and did the job for me, especially on the Operating Systems exam. Before this book, I got a 68% and a 80% on the two practice Operatins System exams I had taken, but yeseterday I got a 86% on my practice exam, which is a decent improvement. Today, I felt ready and went out and took both the A+ Hardware and A+ Operating System exams and pased them both! So I am very happy with this book, as it did the job! The only major drawbacks is the lack of pictures, the fact that you have to already know a little of what you are reading about, and the decieving look of the book which makes you think it's really short but ends up taking quite a while to read! But then again, the great VALUE of this book and all the info it packs in makes it worth the money and 4 stars!
