    Synopsis

    All-in-one guide prepares you for CompTIA's new A+ Certification

    Candidates aiming for CompTIA's revised, two-exam A+ Certified Track will find everything they need in this value-packed book. Prepare for the required exam, CompTIA A+ Essentials (220-601), as well as your choice of one of three additional exams focusing on specific job roles—IT Technician (220-602), Remote Support Technician (220-603), or Depot Technician (220-604). This in-depth book prepares you for any or all four exams, with full coverage of all exam objectives. Inside, you'll find:

    • Comprehensive coverage of all exam objectives for all four exams in a systematic approach, so you can be confident you're getting the instruction you need
    • Hand-on exercises to reinforce critical skills
    • Real-world scenarios that show you life beyond the classroom and put what you've learned in the context of actual job roles
    • Challenging review questions in each chapter to prepare you for exam day
    • Exam Essentials, a key feature at the end of each chapter that identifies critical areas you must become proficient in before taking the exams
    • A handy fold-out that maps every official exam objective to the corresponding chapter in the book, so you can track your exam prep objective by objective
    • Look inside for complete coverage of all exam objectives for all four CompTIA A+ exams.

    Comptia A Certified Complete Study Guide Tby burningbridges

    March 23, 2009: his study guide is intended for someone who has experience in computer repair. I don't have the amount of experience this book has set. However, I feel, since I have some official background in computer repair, I can make good use of the information in this book.

    In my opinion, the logical sequence of the subjects jumped around too much, the information you read in one chapter continues in another chapter further into the book.

    The only strategy I can see in this type of writing is to make me or anyone think. That's a good thing.

    The logical sequence of a sentence is confusing. Some sentences had to be read over and over to get the meaning and others had to be omitted because they were repeated and still others had to have the correct information placed in the correct place.

    Even after the book fell apart, literally (it's only a couple weeks old), and the frustration of repeating the reading before a repeat was necessary, the questions at the end of the chapters and the provided CD definately are good. I recommend the flashcard method over the others.
