Title: A+ in Depth (In Depth) by Jean, Ph.D. Andrews ISBN: 1-59200-032-0 Publisher: Premier Press Pub. Date: July, 2003 Format: Paperback Volumes: 1 List Price(USD): $39.99 |
Average Customer Rating: 3.4 (5 reviews)

Summary: "In Depth" is still too shallow
Comment: I found this book to be extremely disorganized. It skipped around way too much and I had the strong notion that the author is not as tech-savvy as she would like us to believe. For example, the part that discusses checking a power supply does not explicitly state, "Do not disconnect the power supply before checking. You have to use back-probing instead. If you disconnect the power supply and turn it on, you may damage or destroy it." Frankly, I thought this book was a waste of money. Try "All-in-One A+ Certification Exam Guide" by Michael Meyers and Scott Jernigan instead. And if you're REALLY serious, throw in "Upgrading and Repairing PCs" by Scott Mueller.

Summary: Complete A+ Coverage
Comment: Hey, I'm A+ certified and used this book as part of my test prep. The book is loaded with detailed info, but I have to agree with a previous reviewer who noted the sequencing of practice questions does not match the chapter material.
That said, the CD gave some valuable insight to the Comptia test process itself, although you can't rely on these test questions to duplicate what is on the actual test. This book is over 1100 pages long, so it takes a while to get through it. Prior to testing, I read this book cover to cover 3 times, and reviewed my highlighting and notes several times. I also used "Upgrading and Reapiring PCs" as a reference, which I highly recommend.
In addition to reading the book, I would recommend you find an old computer to tear down and rebuild for practical experience.

Summary: Best so far
Comment: I purchased this book in order to study for the CompTia exam. The book is actually pretty thorough and I succeeded in passing my A+ exam. However the only irritating thing that I found is that the technology used is a bit older Pentium II (which really doesn't matter for the visuals) and the major thing was that many of the questions at the end of the chapters don't relate to the content in the chapter. For example in chapter 1 the questions ask about IRQ's, but at this point the book hasn't even mentioned IRQ's. This happens quite often through the book. No biggie, just kinda annoying. The CD is pretty good. Gives you a quiz etc. I would recommend this book. My only suggestion would be to jot down the questions that you still haven't learned the content to then when you come across it later in the book, you can relate the answer.
