Summary: Great cram !!!
Comment: I came from a unix background with a desire to get the Redhat Certified Technician (RHCT) certification, however, I really felt deficient in Intel-based hardware. In an effort to bridge the gap, I used this book in order to prep for the A+ exams. I read this book twice and had no problems with the Essentials and Technician exams. This book is well-written and very straight-forward with almost zero filler. I enjoyed this book so much that I got the Linux+ book in the same series. Get this book and with a little work, you'll be A+ certified in next to no time. Good luck!

Summary: Pretty good
Comment: Let me just start off by saying, unless you already have experience building computers, do NOT rely on this book as your only source of study for the exam. I had the "official" curriculum books from COMPTIA which took me about 9 weeks to get through, took the test and I failed. As anybody knows, most of these study books are boring as hell and it's easy to feel like your brain will explode.

So after I failed, I picked up this book and read it in one week. Mike Meyers has a way of making you learn stuff without making the material dry, and this is exactly what I needed. Next time I took the test I passed with flying colors. Only reason why I didn't give the book 5 stars is because there is some material on the A+ exams that isn't in this book.

Summary: Easy Book
Comment: This book is user friendly. It doesn't have a lot of off track story's or go into great detail about subjects. It's simple and will give you a basic understanding. I agree, this book alone will not help you pass the test.

Summary: Good support for someone with experience.
Comment: Make sure you get the Third Edition of this book. Many stores still stock the old versions. The core essentials test was numbingly easy, the 602 Exam had some good tech questions. The book will prepare you for the logical and ethical issues (don't yell at clients, don't be rude)
If you have a few years of tech and troubleshooting experience with mixed Windows environments, you should pass the exam with no problem. I did not use the included CD-Rom as part of my study. I did not use any other resources. I have about 9 years of supporting and building systems of all Win flavors-
