Book Description
Many A+ certification guides prepare aspiring PC technicians to pass the exam, but they don’t put test objectives in a “practical use” context. Other PC repair guides cover A+ exam objectives in a real-world setting, but they don’t prepare students well enough to pass the test and get certifi ed. The A+ Exams Guide, Second Edition solves this problem by combining a complete test preparation for the new A+ examinations [Essentials (aka 220-601), 220-602, 220-603, and 220-604] with a hands-on guide that refl ects how the A+ exam questions apply to real-world PC repair problems. The book teaches users how to install and troubleshoot hardware, and provides solutions to common operating system-related problems for machines running Microsoft Windows. Each chapter includes numerous diagrams and photographs, and explains PC repair techniques using easy-to-understand language and accessible terms. Additionally, the book’s companion CD-ROM includes hundreds of CertBlaster A+ practice questions for all four of the current A+ exams so you can test yourself as you work through the book. This is the only guide you need to pass the A+ exams and get certified!

Customer Reviews & Comments
This review is from: The A+ Exams Guide: (Exam 220-301), (Exam 220-302) (Testtaker's Guide Series) (Paperback)
Anytime there is an opportunity to enhance my classes with material that will help in passing any certification track then I will be the first to try it. I have read and used material from Chris Crayton in the past in the A+ and Security+, so I can say that the material is technically accurate and up to date. His latest effort is certainly no exception. As anyone knows tackling the A+ certification has the task of passing two exams, one for Hardware or Core and 1 for Operating Systems and the new OS exam has gone beyond all the others. Each chapter covers the objectives from start to finish. Now if you are looking for the be-all end-all book, this is not that book. However if you looking for a prep tool that hits the major points, and nails them on the head than this book is one you need to pick up. The book does have pictures, but they really need to be in color to fully understand what is being asked to point out, overall there are pictures of just about all hardware that is pertinent to the exams. The author has certainly put together a reference manual that will give you a real boost in passing the exam on the first try. One this book also has is the practice exams on cd rom which gives over 500 questions between the book and the cd. Another standout point for the book is the OS section, while most books cover the OSes; this book does a great job on NT, which is lightly covered in most other books. Overall Chris Crayton has certainly done his part with this release, now you have to do yours.
