This book helped so much. The CD was great. The adaptive portion of the CD really prepared me for the real exam. The content is very easy to comprehend, the questions before the chapter help you to evaluate how much time you need to spend on that particular chapter. The questions at the end really help you narrow in on the individual sections. I used 3 other study materials but kept coming back to this book for all the information I needed. I recommended this book to all my friends that are about to take the test too! Great Book!
If you want to pass,

I started with the ALL-IN-ONE, M MEYERS book but only got half way. It is a good reference book but Too much information . I got the A+ Certification by IDG and studied it for five days along with Some test questions downloaded from the net and passed both A+ exams. This book gives you what you need without putting you to sleep.
Excellent A+ book that comes through where many fall short!

I am an entry level technician that had to get certified very quickly in order to secure a promotion. I studied for about three months from two other books and a practice test book and was still completely bewildered by the A+ DOS Windows exam. This book really brought things together. (I only wish I'd bought it first!) The books that I WAS studying from -and almost every other book that I saw- really disappointed when it came time to cover DOS/Windows and rightly so, I guess. Its much less intuitive to instruct a novice on the intangibles like win.com, system.ini. WHAT? Anyways, this book came through wonderfully in its focus on the hot topics as well as the detail. And it did so without reading like an encyclopedia. My only complaint: The cd-rom sample test software from Beachfront Quizzer (which is a great tool) simply didn't have enough questions. But then, they want to make money too.Oh yeah, another great feature: The WHOLE book comes in Adobe Acrobat format on the CD-ROM! VERY HANDY!Mr. Chandler: Please write a book or two on Novell certification. That's next.
Great Exam Prep

This little book is an excellent guide for anyone trying to pass the DOS/Windows module of the A+ Examination. It is very concise and to the point, easy to read and moves quickly. Especially helpful are the practice quizzes on the CD-ROM, which provides actual exam simulations for standard and adaptive tests as well as interactive study sessions. The one caveat is that this is an exam PREP book, and would better be used as a final review tool than as a primary study manual. One would do better to use a meatier book for the actual studying and use this a final review tool. But an excellent book, one of the best certification manuals available.
it is incredible
