The only study material you’ll need,
I spent over a week agonizing over which book to purchase to prepare for the A+ exam. I ended up choosing this because it seemed to me to be the most material for the money and because Meyers, the author, has a reputation for quality in the industry. After working through the book, I am fully satisfied, and passed the exam on the first try. This guide is extremely comprehensive, and laid out in a very logical and easy-to-use way. Meyers’ writing style is very easy to read and engaging. Even dry subjects are quite readable. The included materials are also quite good, but I should mention a few caveats. The book advertises 8 practice exams, but that means two for each of the four tests. Because any one person will only take two tests (Essentials and one elective), there really are only four practice tests (however, there is so much overlap, I found taking all the tests to be helpful). Also, each practice test is only 50 questions, but the real test is 100, so each is only half a test. On the other hand, the practice tests are very accurate and the interface is just like what you’ll face on test day. Also, if you purchase your exam vouchers from Meyers’ website, you will not only save $30 on each test, but also get an additional two practice tests (100 questions) for each exam. Overall, I definitely recommend this book over any other you might be considering, and I plan to purchase the accompanying Network+ book to study for that test.

|Great Book,
So I bought the book without reading the reviews. Not a good idea, but I saw the book in a store and thought I could get it cheaper here. I have no working experience in IT and this seemed to be the most comprehensive guide. It took me like 2 weeks to read the book, and I mean read the entire book and then go back and reread areas that I wasn’t sure about. So I bought the vouchers for the test and went through the included practice exam for the 220-601 & 220-602 and failed them both. So I went back and looked at the areas that I missed on the practice exams and was finally able to pass them.
Next I figured I would come back here and look at the reviews to see what people thought the book missed and I got freaked out that there was no way I would pass these tests based on what the reviews said about the book. And low and behold, I got a 793 on the 601 and a 825 on the 602. I don’t know what the other reviews were talking about but I have no experience working in IT and was able to pass by a good margin on both of my tests using only the book.
