4.0 out of 5 stars best kept secret!, August 21, 2000

This review is from: A+ Exam Notes: Core Module (Mass Market Paperback)

I can't believe that there were negitive comments about this book! I passed the core test the first time, and can say that 90% of my test was covered in depth inside these covers. Not all of the test material can be found in ANY study guide, therefore in the context of a supplemental study guide -mission accomplished.

2.0 out of 5 stars Great knowledge base but ill prepares you for the exam., June 30, 1999

This review is from: A+ Exam Notes: Core Module (Mass Market Paperback)

Althought this book does teach you a lot of the basics you need to get ahead in a computer career, you could memorize this book and still not be perpared for the A plus exam. Beware if you studied this book for months and think you are ready for the exam. You will lose $128 dollars if you do so!!!!!!!

5.0 out of 5 stars Very Good Brush Up Before Taking The Test, December 30, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: A+ Exam Notes: Core Module (Mass Market Paperback)

I had zero experience in the computer industry exactly a month and a half ago. Today I am A+ certified. I bought Meyers A + Certification Study Guide and read it through and then highlighted important info. Then I bought this book to help me brush up on the topics I really needed to know. This book and the Windows/Dos Exam Notes are a very good source of information that are easy to cram into your brain. It is divided up into pieces of info that will easily help you to remember the 'hard stuff' going into the test. I highly recommend this book to compliment one of those bigger study guides. If I can do it, anyone can!
