Nearly 1000 practice questions presented in the book and duplicated on the accompanying CD-ROM allow readers the flexibility of repeat viewing in whichever manner they prefer. This description may be from another edition of this product.
Over half to three-quarters of all these test will be on your A+ test. If you can answer the questions without looking at the answers in the back then you are ready to go take the test. I highly recommend you buy this book if you are to take the A+ test.
I cannot praise this book highly enough !

I have used a lot of material to prepare myself for the CompTia A+ 601 en 602 exams (IT technician). This book stands out above all the others I have used in the practise exam department. The format is about the same as on the real exam, the questions are a little more difficult then on the real exam. The explanation of the answers are outstanding and give great insight in the material. Don't spend a little fortune on all sorts of practise exams (like I did), this book is the best and is enough. If you still want more, take a look at MeasureUp practise exams. Advice: take all the exam questions in the book and don't limit yourself to the questions that have do with the exams you are going to take. There is a lot of overlap between the exams. After reading a lot of stuff I will only use ExamCram books in the future for preparing for IT exams; in my opinon they are the best. I passed mid july both exams on the first attempt: 601: 735/900 and 602: 820/900.
Great practice questions!

I highly recommend getting these practice questions as they are closer to the real exam. You can use the paper questions or CD and test yourself on the computer. If you do good on these exam questions, you will pass the A+ exams as the Exam Cram questions are more complex in nature, but it helps you with understanding. I would recommend this with the Sybex A+ book.
great practice for the exam

to pass the a+, i primarily used the mike meyers book (school) and various internet resources. I found this book extremely helpful. I bought it the week before I took the essentials exam and went through it completely. Probably wouldn't have passed without it. Very good questions for the most part and the explanations make it more than just practice.
The best practice exam book
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 16 years ago
I used three different books as practice aids before taking the test. This book's questions came the closest to the difficulty and format of the actual test. The questions are, however, slightly more difficult than the actual test. This is good because if you do decently in this book, you will be fine for the real thing. Therefore, if you buy only one book, this should be it. I did not have a chance to try out the included CD, but if it is anything like the printed tests, it will be excellent and likely more convenient than the printed questions.
