This review is from: Core Exam (Accelerated a+ Certification Study Guide) (Paperback)

Absolutely the best book out there to ace the A+ exams. I have a collection of six different A+ study guides and I found myself always referring back to the Accelerated A+ study guide for better explanation. After a while this book was all I was reading. Come to find out this book was all I needed to not just pass but ace the A+ certification exam. If you want a book that explains it to you like it is with out putting you to sleep and without skipping over vital info this is the book to get. It starts from the ground up and takes you all the way to the advanced material. Most importantly it does it with out losing you. I felt like an expert after this book. Accelerated A+ Study Guide for both DOS/Windows and Core exam is literally all you need.

I used this book and also bought the CD-ROM Practice test from Total Seminars. I scored a 95 on the Core Exam after reading the book twice and using the practice test's. I would recommend this book to any one that want's an inexpensive resource to study for the A+ Exam. This book is also a good reference for your book shelf. It explains topics clearly and completely. I will take the Dos/Windows test soon. I am using the companion book to this one to study for it and I am confidient that I will do well. Get these books and the CD-ROM practice test's.The CD-Rom can be ordered from Total Seminars. It is worth the money.

I passed the A+ Core test with a 95. This book was a lot of fun to read. The book answered a lot of question about how and why things are the way they are with computers. There is nothing on Networking. Which is sad. But the book is very solid.
