Comptia A+ Certification All-In-One Exam Guide (Exams 220-901 & 220-902)

So having just passed both the 220-901 and 220-902 exams today I feel I should write a review of this textbook as study material. My background is currently an Bachelors in IT from a fully online institution with no real industry experience. When i say no real industry experience i mean that i do not work within the IT industry nor have i ever. IT has always been an interest of mine since i was a child yet never went deep into learning much of what this textbook covers. My method of study i chose to read this textbook cover to cover, taking all practice tests at the end of each chapter, along with the included practice exams on the disc. In addition to this text i went further to find online practice exams and Professor Messer videos on Youtube as free self studying material. This textbook, as stated, works perfect for self studying in passing the exam and would make a great reference for any IT support technician toolkit as the on-the-job reference. The material covered everything included within the stated objectives CompTIA provides on their website. The practice tests at the end of each chapter included 10 questions with answer keys. The disc included helped me very little. I took maybe one practice test for each exam and that was all that was included within the disc. Some videos were included but no where near helpful as Professor Messers videos. The book covered the objectives and even went beyond which is why this makes a great on-the-job reference. I was able to finish reading cover to cover within a month. I then crammed the 901 objectives ( which were highlighted throughout the book by the author ) then sat for the exam. A week later i sat for the 902 and within that week crammed all the 902 objectives ( which were also highlighted throughout the book ). Good luck!

Ottimo libro per studiare in funzione della certificazione CompTIA A+! Il libro è stato esaustivo e mi ha permesso di passare l'esame senza troppi problemi, malgrado alcune domande fossero complesse.

Bought the book, read it. I mean -read- it. Thankfully, the author does a great job of explaining without being dry. Passed my exams July 2019 before they retired the exam version (901/902) If you're reading this and looking at the new exam version -- As long as it's by Mike Meyers, you're in good hands. Great as a study tool, still using it every week professionally as a quick reference guide too.

El libro contiene todos los temas para lograr la certificación comptia a+, muy buena guía de estudio, tampoco debe faltar como material de literatura básica de un técnico en informática.

Although the book gives more information than needed for the A+, it does it in a way that fills out the narrative so that you get a better understanding of the topic. Rather than just hit you with a bunch of facts to learn. There are a few times when you feel 'well that escalated quickly', like around chapter 12 where you go from this is a keyboard, a mouse, a hard drive to suddenly setting permissions and learning command lines. I think this is because of what's on the A+ rather than how the author would write it if he was writing a straight guide to computers. All in all, the book keeps being interesting when read front to back on first read through. And has enough notes and tips that you can take more interest in and take your own notes on for subsequent readings. I wish I'd bought this book a year ago instead of 4 weeks ago as my exam is in a few weeks so am cramming it a bit.
