Comptia A+ Complete: Exam 220-1001 and Exam 220-1002

This book is huge. it covers both 1001 and 1002 exam for the A+ certificate. It has problem solving questions after every chapter and tests that you can practice and also flash cards you can make. The one negative is that because this book is about 700 pages it can be hard to sift through in a timely manner. It may be better to just get the pdf version and work with Cntrl + F to find key terms and be faster. Other than that it is a solid book that teaches in a straight forward manner.

Does everything way of what it's supposed to do about core 1 and 2. A+.. gives you all the information you need Including tips tools and guides. The online And free help software is very useful Partially customize able to help you out to better Suit your learning preferenc. Some of which is word and specific and some little too much Fluff or babble but over all I think it meets or exceeds the purpose for teaching almost Anyone.

What I originally said: "Bought this book thinking it had everything I needed to know in order to pass. Studied from it for 6 hours a day everyday for 2 months and failed the exam. Most of the questions in the exam were about terms and concepts weren't even mentioned by what was in this book. Also have 6 years experience working in IT helpdesk/troubleshooting role."Edit (11/15/2020): I have since learned (after getting A+, N+ and Security+ and gotten a good job in IT) that it's never a good idea to put all your eggs into one basket like this. It is a good study guide, but it won't take you all the way. No study guide will, especially if you've never taken an exam before. There is no silver bullet. So I would now say it's fine to get and study, as long as it is along with other sources to corroborate and get a fuller, more accurate context and perspective. Personally, I found Professor Messer, and Mike Meyers and/or Jason Dion's Udemy courses to be extremely invaluable. Each source has their own emphases and blind-spots, so it's important to use more than one so you can get better context and perspective and see what is a recurring themes overlap and what is a one off, or what one source missed. Also, I was under a lot of personal and financial pressure and stress at the time I took the exam, and when I didn't pass, I took it out on this book, mostly misguidedly I am now finding. Upgrading to 4 stars. 4 because it (along with every other source) lets on that it is the only thing you need to study. It would be helpful if it explained what I did here: that you should use multiple sources.

I purchased the kindle edition and used it as my primary source to study for the A+ exams. This book not only preperares you for the exams but also for real world scenarios, this is why you'll find information that goes beyond simply passing the exams which is a plus in my opinion.You get a total of four practice tests, two for the 1001 and two for the 1002. These practice tests were actually harder and more technical than the real A+ based on my personal experience. I got a score of 817 for the 1001 and a score of 789 for the 1002.I'd also recommend complementing the book with Jason Dion's practice tests. These practice tests are closer to the actual exams but like I said before, the Sybex practice tests take you beyond "just passing" the exams.

A complete guide for the A+ exam. Great buy for the price

I got tired of a certain author's "Let me tell you about the first pc's" nonsense because I am in a hurry to get recerted. I got this book because I've been happy with this series. It cuts to the thick of things and is especially good for those already in the IT field.

great referance book also has practice tests. have used to teach manny students from 16 to 50 !

Thank you! The tracking status said "Delivered to the individual" but I didn't get it. Good thing I was able to run where the carrier was while maintaining social distancing, and he had the book! Yayyy!! Now I can study.

This book is very detailed and loaded with information...perhaps too much information but it is definitely worth it. I love how the author breaks down and explains everything about each topic. I highly recommend buying this book.

During lockdown I signed up for an on-line Comptia A+ course. After a couple of the modules I felt I need an alternative resource to support my study. A brief browse through the shelves of Amazon led me to this tome. I have found in clearly written and easy to understand. The end of chapter review questions are great for reinforcing learning, and the "exam essentials" from each chapter is a very helpful feature.Only issue is that for me (in the UK) the link to the "Comprehensive Online Learning Environment" gives me an error. Which I think means I can't get my money off the exam vouchers.

Detailed explanation given in a understandable language

What I like most about this book was1. Easy to understand and the process are explained in much detail.2. This book comes with bunch practice test which has similar test formation as CompTIA exam.However, I think for this exam do not limit yourself to one or two books. While studying for the A+, I had Professor Messer Note and practice test and Udemy exam practice by Jason DionGood luck folks with you exam

I find this book very useful preparing to the Comptia A+ exams, along with other non-book sources (I also learn through online course). It is a thick and heavy book to hold in hand for a long time, but if you want every information in one book, thats the "price". According what I have read already I must say that it is easy to read/understand despite english is not my native language. It might be a help for me that I am familiar with PCs.Comparing the knowledge I get for my money: Absolutely worth it. I would recommend it.
