Summary: all-in-one should mean just that
Comment: I must say this book has been very helpful, but according to most of the reviews I have read, I am very hesitant to take the exams with this book as my only study guide. Also, I have found several answers that were wrong in the questions at the end of each chapter. With only 10 questions how hard can it be to make sure they are 100% correct??? Seems very careless... I have the 6th edition of Meyers' book, but I think I am going to buy Exam Cram's book of nothing but practice questions.

Summary: Passed both exams first time
Comment: Some background on me, I have a Computer Science degree but didn't enter the field upon graduating. Currently looking to broaden my career choices, I purchased this as a self-study exercise. Through this reading material and the practice exams you can purchase, I passed both exams for the Essentials and IT Technician on my first try. I know this book will retain it's value (until the whole computing world goes to different OSs) on my workspace shelf. I would highly reccomend the purchase of this product. Now on to Network+. Good luck all.

Summary: Great book, very good to pass the exams
Comment: I just needed the A+ certification ASAP. I took 220-601 (Essentials) and 220-602 (IT Technician) and the book was a good help. My score was 710 and 800, just good enough to be certified. The sixth edition is updated and covers all I needed to pass.

Also bought the vouchers with practice exams from Meyers and many questions were pretty similar.

I studied the material, reading 3 or 4 hours a day, 5 days a week, in one month. I recommend complement the study with wikipedia or whatever quick source of consultation and of course the practice tests

Conclusion: The book and the practice exams are the perfect combination to pass the exams, but you need at least six months of experience in the "Real world" because you find some answers in the field.
