Great resource for study material and on-the-job reference.

Reviewed in the United States on October 4, 2016

Verified Purchase

So having just passed both the 220-901 and 220-902 exams today I feel I should write a review of this textbook as study material. My background is currently an Bachelors in IT from a fully online institution with no real industry experience. When i say no real industry experience i mean that i do not work within the IT industry nor have i ever. IT has always been an interest of mine since i was a child yet never went deep into learning much of what this textbook covers. My method of study i chose to read this textbook cover to cover, taking all practice tests at the end of each chapter, along with the included practice exams on the disc. In addition to this text i went further to find online practice exams and Professor Messer videos on Youtube as free self studying material. This textbook, as stated, works perfect for self studying in passing the exam and would make a great reference for any IT support technician toolkit as the on-the-job reference. The material covered everything included within the stated objectives CompTIA provides on their website. The practice tests at the end of each chapter included 10 questions with answer keys. The disc included helped me very little. I took maybe one practice test for each exam and that was all that was included within the disc. Some videos were included but no where near helpful as Professor Messers videos. The book covered the objectives and even went beyond which is why this makes a great on-the-job reference. I was able to finish reading cover to cover within a month. I then crammed the 901 objectives ( which were highlighted throughout the book by the author ) then sat for the exam. A week later i sat for the 902 and within that week crammed all the 902 objectives ( which were also highlighted throughout the book ). Good luck!

Excellent exam guide! Passed the 901.

Excellent exam guide. I passed the 901 and I'm going to schedule the 902 once my summer schedule settles down. This book is the only resource I used to pass the 901 and I only did a single pass through the book. If you have some experience building your own PC's, tinkering with tech, or anything else similar, this book is likely the only companion resource you need for the exam. Although I did run through the entire book before taking the 901 exam, I would recommend splitting the content where it makes sense between 901 and 902. Prep for the 901, take the 901 exam, and then repeat for the 902. Otherwise, it's a lot of material to digest if you aren't familiar with a big chunk of the concepts already.

Poorly Organized Exam Material

Reviewed in the United States on August 12, 2018

Verified Purchase

As a preface, I have passed the 901, currently preparing for the 902. I used this book for both. This book would be ok if it was better organized, relative to the CompTIA exam objectives. As it is, I have found trying to use this to prepare for either the 901 or 902 exam an exercise in frustration. CompTIA has so clearly organized and clarified the exam objectives by topic, subtopic, etc. But, for whatever reason the author chose to use his own ideas for organizing the material, which does not correlate with CompTIA’s layout. In order to follow the objectives laid out by CompTIA using this book, you have to go thru many different chapters all over the book (28 chapters, over 1200 pages), to find the material within one subtopic, such as the listings for objective 3.3 for the 220-902, finding one piece here, then flipping thru pages or maybe to a chapter hundreds of pages away to find the next listing, etc. Even though the 901 and 902 are two separate exams, the material for both may be contained within the same chapter. There is a mapping to the objectives given in the back of the book, but that doesn’t help much because it’s given by chapter not page so you have to basically read the whole chapter to get dig out the material for one objective. Unless you are prepared to read the whole book from back to front or are prepared to spend a lot of time flipping all over the place I would not recommend this as your only resource for preparing for either exam. It works better as a reference book. But, I also have issues with the index. I have difficulty finding key terms there, even those explicitly given in the CompTIA objectives. So, I wouldn’t recommend it for a quick reference either. Most of the time, I have to resort to the internet to find the information I’m looking for. It may be in the book, but it’s difficult to find, time consuming and frustrating. That just doesn’t make any sense to me, for a book this size. I am a firm believer that the best way to prepare for the exams is to follow the exam objectives as laid out by CompTIA. I believe all the objectives are covered here somewhere but the layout of this book makes finding them too difficult. The screen shots are helpful and overall it is comprehensive. But, it is not well organized for exam preparation.

Don't buy if you want to study for Comptia A+

Reviewed in the United States on November 5, 2018

Verified Purchase

He drones on for pages or even chapters about nothing. He spent almost a whole chapter explaining how a cpu works. None of it will be on the exams. The stuff you really need for the exams for the most part isn't covered in this book. If you want to use this book as one of the tools for studying for the exam it's probably arlight but, use other tools for the exam not this book alone. I have read to chapter 21 so far, and I am about to quit reading, something I never do. If want anything out of this just read the chapter review questions and forget reading each chapter. One thing about chapter 21. He spent about 15 pages explaining about ip adresses. How is that going to be on the exam. What a waste of time.

this is the only comptia a+ book i would recommend. the author does not drift off to complicated things when starting to learn the basics. author also has a sense of humor. there are limited but good external resources that comes with the book. if you want more, you have to pay additional fees online to access all of them. comes with CD which I mainly use as a soft PDF copy of the book. the test bank that is included is very limited. over all, I am happy with the purchase.

Good and understandable book, but exam voucher has expired...

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on July 29, 2018

Verified Purchase

The book is good for absolute beginners and for someone who wants to consolidate their knowledge about hardware, software and networks essentials in details and to understand all that even better and of course to take exam and get their certificate. The book has a lot of explanations, examples, and is written in good understandable way.
In my opinion a bit bad side of the book is that it is in black and white. If the pictures would be in colour it would be even more better and clearer for the beginners to see what they need to look for and what looks how in real life.
The other thing is that the exam discount code has expired, and it clearly says that it is valid until December 31, 2017, and i can see that i'm not the only one with this problem.

Great quality writing, not as dense as people make out.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on November 16, 2020

This is not a book you read cover to cover, it's a reference book that goes alongside your studies/work. If you are trying to read this cover to cover, you will feel it's a lot to get through or that the author waffles. Using this as a reference book alongside my online A+ studies, I have found the defitions and chapters to be very succint and informative, better than my online materials! Excellent study book, very clear print with quality paper, generous margins, and it looks lovely too.

The fact this book actually manages to cram everything from total beginner to advanced is in fact an impressive feat more than a downside!

Preparing to update my IT skills, in order to fully enjoy my hobby of upgrading gaming PCs and with a view to re entering the IT industry (albeit at a low level), have decided to invest in Mr Meyers' offering, as I like his easy, yet informative delivery of what can be a complex subject,along with study tips, demystifying the process.
Once I have gained 90% proficiency with this edition, I will then buy the latest edition, then using that as a final review will book and sit the Exams.

Highly recommended.

Wish I'd bought this a year ago.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on March 14, 2019

Although the book gives more information than needed for the A+, it does it in a way that fills out the narrative so that you get a better understanding of the topic. Rather than just hit you with a bunch of facts to learn.
There are a few times when you feel 'well that escalated quickly', like around chapter 12 where you go from this is a keyboard, a mouse, a hard drive to suddenly setting permissions and learning command lines.
I think this is because of what's on the A+ rather than how the author would write it if he was writing a straight guide to computers.
All in all, the book keeps being interesting when read front to back on first read through. And has enough notes and tips that you can take more interest in and take your own notes on for subsequent readings.
I wish I'd bought this book a year ago instead of 4 weeks ago as my exam is in a few weeks so am cramming it a bit.
