Got it!
Got the book in good condition. Now to cram for the exam.
Used the book. Passed the test
The book is a very well thought teaching tool. It is written to help of levels of knowledge and experience I the IT help desk and IT Operations field. It helps you focus on the areas of the CompTIA A+ exams. Using this book along with the online materials I was able to pass the exam. It's easy to read and the author keeps it a good pace. The humorous scenarios keep you entertained, but these scenarios are clearly based on real work experience. You can see this book has been written by seasoned IT professionals.
Passed first time
The book is pretty good, I have no prior IT experience and I managed to pass core 1 and 2 first try. It's big but very thorough, and the good news is that it's still useful as an IT reference because all of the topics are well organized and easy to find.
Author has issues with writing in second person point of view
This book has good information; however, it also has issues. The author has a habit of writing in second person point of view. It's always better to write in the third person point of view when writing these types of books like this. That is the reason I gave it a 4-star review.
Great
This was great to study and learn for this certification
Best A+ Material Out There
I am currently enrolled at a state university seeking an IT degree. The information in this book is way more comprehensive than what my school has provided for the corresponding class. It actually makes me a little nervous about dishing out money for a degree. Mike Meyers and his team do a phenomenal job of explaining the current CompTIA A+ material in a fun way that provides a satisfying amount of foundational knowledge too. You aren't just memorizing test questions; you are learning about computers. Want to skip the foundational knowledge and go right to the test material?!? You can do that too. Each section is clearly labeled as Historical/Contextual information or given the 1101 or 1102 distinction to indicate material that you can expect to find on the corresponding exam. There is even a Beyond A+ header for info that may be too new for the current exam, but is good to know. Even if you have no interest in obtaining a CompTIA A+ certification this book serves as an essential manual for all things computer. As a life-long computer nerd, I wish I had read this book years ago. Now, if only Total Seminars could show me how to make sense of this OneDrive garbage...
Great Book!
Been studying for the COMPTIA A+ Certification test. This book is full of things! I have been selft taught all my life. This book has a more in depth explanation and experience than I already knew! Definitely beginner friendly! Has a pre test in the beginning of the book to help you find the areas you may need more study on. Helps you get a basis of the amount of hours and months of study you might need to pass. Highly recommend. Good use with Proffer Messer videos on youtube for extra study.
Complainers will complain - this book is great.
I’ve read a lot of reviews here. A lot of them are people seemingly taking out their frustrations on minuscule things they can point out. It really just seems like being nitpicky and complaining just to complain. The book is in black and white, yes, but so what? They save money not printing in color and the pictures and text are entirely legible. There’s BARELY any bit of fuzzy text or hazy looking pictures and by barely, I mean so little that you would have to get real close to point it out under lighting. You have to find it to see it which… *putting stick in bicycle spokes meme here* Another point that was made was regarding the redundancy of information and how it can give you too much of one topic only to be told it is not needed for the test; another way to complain about something so small and insignificant. If the topic you’re reading about isn’t on the test, maybe you should download the exam objectives given to you for FREE on the official CompTIA website that OUTLINES EVERYTHING you that will be on the core 1 and 2 exams. It’s pretty simple to follow what you need to study and even if it’s too much information on a subject matter… these things you should know anyway. It won’t hurt you. This is a plethora of valuable information all for a very low cost. This is your ticket to your success. I wanted to write this to dispel some of the “issues” people were talking about which, again, seems to be nitpicking and unnecessary. This is a great book. Do yourself a favor and buy it if you’re thinking about going for the exam. This book and Professor Messer on YouTube (Core 1 1101 & Core 2 1102) will guarantee a passing score. He posts all topics outlined in the CompTIA A+ exam objectives. Best of luck to whoever is reading this!
