comptia A+ desk reference all-in-one

When I received my delivery of the comptia A+ desk reference, I thought it would take me two years to finish. I'm on my second week and I'm half way through. The reading is easy and interesting.

Straight from a Dummie's Mouth

As someone new to IT ( not a complete novice, I do know how to use a mouse/keyboard and surf the web, etc. ), this book is great especially when compared with the other A+ books one can find out there. For the price it's a steal, I highly recommend it.

Use THIS BOOK!!

Bought this book to study, used this book alone for my A+, just read the book, do the practice questions on the cd and you should have no proble passing the A+. this is the best book i ever bought, passed both of the tests the first time because of this book.

A+ for Dummies

I have just got my A+ Certification and I think that this book was much more informative than both books that came with my class. If you want more in depth instruction,this would definately be a good choice.I told the other people in my class about the book and most said that they would get the book also.

Covers the Test and What You Need to Know

This huge book, or as the front cover says, 9 Books in 1, covers CompTIA A+ exams 220-601, 220-602, 220-603, and 220-604. It takes over eleven hundred pages to cover everything, and then has a CD with the 'For Dummies' test engine and hundreds of sample question. The book basically covers two areas: First is the material you need to know and understand about computers in order to pass the test. This covers simple things like what's a motherboard to security in networked systems. It is written in the typical 'For Dummies' manner, that is, light and easy to understand, but with all the bases covered from the big picture (is the power on) to the small details. Second is the part specialized to the test itself. This covers everything from what the test is about, to what to do on the day of the test itself to give yourself the best possible chance of passing. All of this is combined with the usual humorous writing common to the 'For Dummies' books that help to make them a bit more interesting. And of course there are Rich Tennant's cartoons between the major sections.
