Worth the money - By: S. Smith, 28 Aug 2008 
I like the book, information is well presented & easy to follow, my only complaint would be I didn't think there were enough questions on the cd practice tests (on the essentials there are 2 practice & 2 'real' tests, but only 50 questions each)
With the sections being split into Essentials/IT technician, you can't follow them to the letter. I know there are thingsin the technician paragraphs that arein the essentials exam. Sometimes the author comments on this, sometimes not. Just make sure you read the whole thing.
Got to love all the chapters being on E-book format though, so you can just copy them to a portable device & not have to lug the book everywhere. A few shareware files are also included, so you don't have to search the programs out to follow along with the step by step guides.
And yes I did use this to pass, along with a transcender test pack

This book is probably the only book you will need to pass the A+ exams
Well written with good 'real world' advice. I tried loads of A+ books out while studying & I think this book was the best all round.
Does the job - By: N. Clay, 24 Mar 2008 
I bought two books whilst studying for the A+ exams; this one, & Jean Andrews book. In the end I ended up using the Jean Andrews book more since I found it to be slightly more reader-friendly & I preferred the layout.
Having said that, this book includes more or less the same information along with practise tests. Personally I'd recommend the Jean Andrews book more highly, but this one (or even a combination of both) will also get you through the exams.
Everything you need - By: D. Rugen, 07 Sep 2007 
Great book & seems to be considered the defacto book to use. Dunno how good it would be for the new version of the A+ though. The only critisim I had of the book is it could have broken down between the two exams a little better for revision purposes.
