Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I have been reading books authored and co-authored by Scott Mueller since 1998. I have sworn by his Upgrading and Repairing PCs books (now in its 19th Edition with over two million copies sold from the book series) for my own use and for the use of my students in the classes that I teach. I always tell them "if you are going to buy any additional companion book for this A+ certification class, be it for studying for the exam itself or for your reference down the road, get a book written by Scott Mueller - he is THE subject matter expert for all things relating to computer hardware."
Having a CompTIA A+ certification guide written by this master is the best of both worlds - you have a comprehensive study guide for the certification exams as well as a solid reference book for future use.
The publishers found the only way I could think of to up this ante by combining the talent from two additional experts in the field - Mark Edward Soper and David L. Prowse - to make this book a great pick to anyone that is looking to learn more about computer hardware and / or take the CompTIA certification exam for the 220-701 and 220-702 series exams.
The book covers all the topics in the 220-701 and 220-702 series exams which has been updated to include information on the Windows 7 operating system from Microsoft.
The 18 chapters of the book are succinctly broken down by topic and subject matter.
The chapters include a study feature that I have often recommended to my students. There is a pre-assessment quiz at the beginning of the chapter that allows you to gauge your knowledge of the material being covered in the chapter. If you take the pre-assessment quiz and are able to get a very high score you discover that you already have most of the in-depth knowledge for the subject matter of that chapter. That would allow you to safely gloss over the information in quick review fashion. If you were unable to score very well this would allow you to understand that full study of the material in that chapter would be needed in order to better understand the material. This approach benefits the up and coming student as it allows them to focus on areas with additional study time where they are weak with respect to the material which is a huge time saver. Time is also saved by underscoring the limited need to "cram" an area where they are already proficient.
The DVD that accompanies the book includes 2 complete practice exams that can be executed in different testing modes (study mode and practice exam mode) as well as e-book pages for the glossary and appendixes from the main guide.
The CompTIA A+ Cert Guide (220-701 and 220-702) (2nd Edition) is a "must have" for anyone starting out on a new IT career and / or for anyone that has a need for a solid reference and resource guide for computer hardware.
