Rating: 2 stars
Summary: This is not a good study resource
Review: I started preparing for my a+ exam with this book and it wasn't going well. But than my friend referred me to another book, Fast Track A+ and with the help of Fast Track i was able to pass my A+ tests. I would not recommend A+ Exam Cram to anyone.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: FORGET THIS BOOK, VERY LITTLE IS COVERED IN THE A+TEST
Review: Forget this book, the examen changes very frequently and this book cover very little of the content of the exam. Also have many errors.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Ok for final studies but be wary of mistakes
Review: This book provided a good overview of what is on the test but be very careful of its mistakes. There are multiple mistakes in the book. Make sure you get another source for the complete information. I just got certified with a 95 core and 93 dos/windows.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Too many errors and confusing sample questions!
Review: The hardware questions in the final sample test is the worst I've seen-filled with ambiguity and errors. If you must buy the book, do not take the final sample test, especially the hardware questions. Also, this book is not for beginners- too little explanations and the information is too unorderly.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Do not rely on this book for A+
Review: The book gives you invaluable information about omputer hardware components, operating systems and troubleshooting. However, it lacks organization and presentation skills to be a study guide for A+ certification. I believe the authors have no teaching experience though they have education degrees.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: This is good for your final cram sessions
Review: I got 3 books to use to pass the A+ Exam, this one, A+ Certif. for Dummies and A+ Certification Exam Guide by Meyers. I passed 1st time w/ 98% on the Core and 80% on DOS/Windows and 6/6 on the Cust Satisfaction.

I really wish I could give this a higher rating but I can't. Don't rely on this as your only source of material. This book had the most discrepancies among the three. There were some good focused areas but then there were sections that went into things that are not on the exam.

This book had the most substantial s/w section of the 3 books although it too missed the mark terribly.

He does cover a couple areas skipped by the other 3. It is slow heavy reading. This would be better if he had a CD of questions to go w/ it. Some of his 'final exam' answers are downright wrong. So check them in the text.

I would recommend using this book even considering the short comings. It does focus you for that final polish but you need to know where it's wrong too.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Be very careful with this book
Review: I took the core exam today and passed (no thanks to this book). Besides the mistakes that I found, there were some subjects that I saw on the exam which were either barely covered or not covered at all(modem commands, networking). I only wish I had that 30.00(for the book) to do over again. Good luck to all.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Great overall!
Review: This book is very light on the modem issues. Actually it has none. Other than a few typos and inconsistency between different sections of the book and the cram sheet this book was excellent. However if you aren't already familiar with computers and how they work steer clear.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: OK
Review: As an experienced pc tech who currently makes 72k a year I feel I'm as pompas as the guy who makes 70k a year. He probably didn't even need a book to pass. This book is fine if you have some background in computing, but what book isn't? If you have experience, use a+ for dummies. If you don't have experience, get the Meyers book. Ignore the overpaid guy's remarks.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Good Review But Has Errors
Review: As an experienced technician who currently makes $70K a year in the computer field I found this book to be a good review guide. However, the book has numerious critical errors in information that may make you miss questions on the test! If you don't have a good background in computers DON'T USE THIS BOOK!
