I found this book is very informative and helpful for anyone looking to get his/her A+ Certification. The 2 min drills, test at the end of the chapter, and the test on the CD that comes with are wonderful to prepare you.

Today I took both of the exam and passed with moderate score. This book did help me pass the exam. My review of this book is as follows: First of all, this book is not a cram session book. This book contains informations that you don't need for the exam. If you need to cram, I would suggest that you stay away from this book. Book offers alot of information that will help you pass the exam and then some. However, in the DOS/Win section, book lacks content and information. If you are new to windows 3.11 and especially DOS, you will have difficult time understanding the material offered in the book. Friends told me that "A+ for Dummies" is pretty good book. In any case, I would recommend this book to all people seeking A+ certification. This book also holds its value not like other cram session books. With this book you would actually want to keep in your shelf for reference purposes. My second resource for for the A+ exam came from This site has excelent overview of the exam and practice exams. I would also recommend that you take both of the exam while it is fresh on your brain! Good Luck.

Been with the computer industry for 10 years, ever since the 386's back in the 80's. Finally decide to take the stupid exams. Bought this book because it seemed informative. Took it back for refund after 10 days. You could probably pass it with this book, but if you're an old wiz, who needs everything to be clear and precise, don't bother with it. It's too simple in both the Core and OS areas. To be truthful, I haven't taken the exam yet, but I with my experience in the computer field, this book is too simple. I would recommend something else for those new to this field. About the software that's included, I guess it's okay. Their website didn't seem to be up on March 2, 2001. Haven't tried the site on later dates yet. Well hope this was helpful to those who's looking for A+ books.

Simple. Good. Prepares you for the exa
