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.

Currently I hold an MCSE, MCP+I and MCT. I've been in the industry for about 15 years and for the last 2 years have owned my own small consulting firm. I wanted to take the A+ because I never had and thought I should.

This book was great for getting to the point without bogging you down in the tedium. A little simplistic at points, it made sure that you had the basics that you would need to pass the test. I actually bought the Exam Prep/Exam Cram books for this test. I only read about 4 pages of the Exam Prep before I was completely bored.

I passed this test with a 93% and I attribute it mostly to the organization of this book.

Though some section were a little confusing, the book was very helpfull and I have learned a lot.

I found this book very informative and helpful in studying for the test .But it lacked in certain areas ,it should have revue questions at the end of each chapter.I have not taken the test yet but I am confident I will pass. This book is perfect for the begginer I highly reccomend it.

The Accelerated A+ Core Exam book is the absolute best hardware book I have ever read. The explanations made tough concepts easy to understand, the graphics were good, the questions at the end of each chapter made sense. After reading this book and the Accelerated A+ Operating Systems book, I breezed through my exams. I totally recommend this book to anyone who deals with computer hardware.

I have over 10 years experience as a PC tech, but am not yet certified. I recently purchased A+ cert core exam, and it is clear and concise. The author gets right to the point and covers the information without playing trivia games.

The Core Exam (Accelerated A+ Certification Study Guide)is a thorough familiarization of the A+ Examination Core topics. At times it speaks down to you and insults your intelligence. However, this style does spoon feed you where you are your weakest. Passing the exams was moderately easy as a result of several readings of this reference. A solid reference well worth the cost.
