Customer Review: dummy learns quick
easy to follow, was able to pick up what i needed from this book without any difficulty. Even a dummy could do it.
Customer Review: It works
I purchased this book in order to pass the A+ exam and also to have as a desk reference. This book did both. It is very informative and great to have lying around for whenever you come across a problem. I recently took and passed both the A+ Essentials and then the IT-Technician exam. Both on the first attempt. This is the only book I used to prepare for the exam. The only reason I did not give it all 5 stars is because I wish the book was organized around the different A+ exams. Instead it is all blended together. If you only want to study for a particular exam then you will have to use the index and jump around the book. Just read the book once, review some test questions and you will do fine on the A+ exams. But it is a great book to have for reference.
