This book is excellent 30 July 2010
By Steve D
Format:Paperback
This book is a must if you're thinking of taking your A+ exams. It covers a massive amount of ground and will give you confidence in your knowledge to take the exams. It's written in the usual clear and often humorous syle as other Dummies, books which makes it fun to read too. It's also got a very useful CD included with in-depth "lab" situations and practice tests. I've just passed these exams after using only this book.

If bang for buck is factored in... then this book is a definite bargain. It is a big book that reads very easily.

Took the exam today. Passed thanks in part to this book.

Titles aimed at getting you through the exam all cover topics slightly differently. Some mention things that others don;t & vice versa. This book is one of these types for sure.

Truth of it is, if you are going to be sitting the exam you NEED this book:study it ... cover to cover & cut no corners. Every resource helps. My advice then, buy this & similar titles...buy them all. These books are the very best avaiable. They are sure to help you.
