Customer Reviews

Wonderful help in getting A+ certified, but...

One thing that kept me from studying for the A+ test was that most books weighed in at around 1000+ pages and were very poorly organized. This book was great in defining what was actually needed to study for the exam and focused just on the operating systems. One thing to point out is that if you take the operating systems portion of the A+ test in June 2000 or later, it will not contain the Win 3.x section and will be adding Linux, Win 98, and NT, instead. If you take the test before June then this is a wonderfully written guide and should be all you need to pass--I passed. I will be getting the companion A+ Certification Core--Accelerated A+ guide to study for that test.

Good to use for passing the A+ Dos Windows exam

I used this book and the practice test CD from Total seminars. I scored a 89 on the Dos windows test. This book worked for me and it can work for you.

With this book you will kill the exam!

Dismiss this book because of one or two spelling mistakes? His loss...The book is well written, fun to read - the author has a sense of humor. This book covers all objectives. I got a 93% thanks to this book and the TopScore A+ test simulation software suite from New Riders. If you are new to Dos/Windows and wish a certification - this book is for you.

GREAT book ! Clear and easy to read.

This book covers all the information on the DOS/Win exam. It helped me focus in on what I needed to learn and made it easy to reveiw for the exam. I bought this book and the Core Exam Accelerated A+ Study Guide by Total Seminars. I passed with an 89 and a 92, what else do I need to say?The thing I liked most about both the books is the way they explain concepts. I knew a fair amount about PC repair but these books filled the gaps and helped me clear up concepts I thought I understood but could not really explain or answer questions about.

This is an excellent book!

This book was just what I needed to bone up on all those ancient DOS commands and forgotten Windows 3.1 stuff for the A+ exam. I would have liked more Windows 95 coverage, but hard to squeeze into a book this small. Still, Win95 chapter was good and more than sufficient for the exam. Well written and good illustrations. I liked it. I recommend it.
