Comprehensive
Rating  (3)
Date: 2009-09-10
The book is comprehensive, but I am surprised it leaves out any mention of SATA or any of the new bus connectors. SATA is almost six years old and there is no mention of it in this volume published in 2003. I guess Serial ATA 1.0 was introduced in 2003 and it missed this publication. PCI Express is also missed, but then again the publication without the updates is still a good reference for the test.

Major Critical Mistakes in book
Rating  (2)
Date: 2007-06-09
This book has major critical errors in it. It says maximum file length is 256 characters (it's 255), says that RegEdt32 is used on windows XP to edit the registry, it is in reality regedit. These are questions on the actual A+, and you will get them wrong reading this book. This is also the case for other books by Charles J Brooks, and his practice test cd on Exam Cram 2 (1000 questions, at least several with wrong answers). If it were not for these errors, he is an excellent author. However, you can not trust what he writes, as it may lead to a failed A+ Test. :(

This book is well organized, easy to read, and helpful in every way. Has extra details, information, and example scenarios to give you a "feel" of what you are working with. Comes with a CD that contains very helpful videos that further educate the reader about computer hardware and about being a computer technician.
I found the OS portion of the A+ exam to be more challenging, and so I wished that the CD contained videos on OS troubleshooting as well. Nevertheless, I still give this book a five star

Before I took the test, I thought this book was ok, but after taking the A+ hardware exam last week and only barely passing, I have to say that a lot of the material on the exam were MISSING from this book.
