 Great practice for exams, but... October 18, 2008
This book is great practice for the A+ exams but it does contain errors. I have also studied the 'All-in-one' A+ by Mike Meyers and his 'Passport' text as well. I passed the essentials exam no problem. However, I failed the 602 'IT Tech' exam twice. Yes it hurts. I went back into the passport and this text to look for subject matter on firewall ports- tested heavely on the first 602 exam I took and I couldn't find the answers I was looking for. Also tested heavely on the 602 was paths to applications and menus. Not so well covered in this text. I do recommend it for study but nothing beats real world experience (which I am lacking). Good luck to you on your test. I re-test in 30 days...
 Very Pleased with Purchase October 18, 2008
Excellent book and I recommend for anyone who is taking the A + Essentials Certification and the other 602, 603, and 604 exams. New condition also. I would recommend this seller.
I cannot praise this book highly enough ! August 14, 2008

I have used a lot of material to prepare myself for the CompTia A+ 601 en 602 exams (IT technician). This book stands out above all the others I have used in the practise exam department. The format is about the same as on the real exam, the questions are a little more difficult then on the real exam. The explanation of the answers are outstanding and give great insight in the material. Don't spend a little fortune on all sorts of practise exams (like I did), this book is the best and is enough. If you still want more, take a look at MeasureUp practise exams. Advice: take all the exam questions in the book and don't limit yourself to the questions that have do with the exams you are going to take. There is a lot of overlap between the exams.
After reading a lot of stuff I will only use ExamCram books in the future for preparing for IT exams; in my opinon they are the best.
I passed mid july both exams on the first attempt: 601: 735/900 and 602: 820/900.
Great practice questions! August 1, 2008
I highly recommend getting these practice questions as they are closer to the real exam. You can use the paper questions or CD and test yourself on the computer. If you do good on these exam questions, you will pass the A+ exams as the Exam Cram questions are more complex in nature, but it helps you with understanding. I would recommend this with the Sybex A+ book.
 Frustrating to work with at times June 25, 2008
3 out of 4 found this review helpful
I was able to get a good grasp of what to expect on the A+ exam through this book. The only reason I can't give it more than 3 stars is because a lot of the answers I came across were a matter of semantics, and even sometimes wrong. On a few occasions the book contradicted itself in the answers. "What services do ALL ISPs offer to customers?" Answer: "Services that MOST isps offer.." et cetera.
And in one question, it also recommended a surge protector over a UPS for power interruptions, which left me staring at a wall for a good ten minutes trying to determine in which dimension of reality that would be true. Both of these bogus questions were presented to me in one run through the accompanied MeasureUp software, which was pretty frustrating.
Overall it's a pretty good book. Buy it if you can get it cheap, but don't bank your exam on it
