CompTIA A+ Complete Fast Pass

This book was very helpful preparation tool. It has plenty of practice questions and practice tools. ANYONE CAN USE THIS BOOK!!! [...]

If you are looking for one stop study guide for your A+, this is the book, it was written meticulously. It was patterned after the new A+ syllabus, it include tips for real life principles/application that every willing IT Techs can apply to be successsful. I took my test on October 15, 2008 and score 825, with this book you are very close to 900 points. I did not even finish reading it before the test, because the information were too detailed. Thank you, Emmett Dulaney for sharing these A+ tips.

After reviewing this book I have decided to adopt it as a text for my high school computer tech class. It is easy to read, clearly highlights the new A+ test requirements and logically presents the materials needed to study for the test.

A previous reviewer (Jiang Hu) stated "Many points that are brought up in the book are not explained and will require additional research on part of the reader." Well that should be quite obvious because this is simply a review guide. It states that numerous times throughout the product information on the main page. Here is an example "Many candidates who complete a Study Guide or course also appreciate a review tool that helps them brush up on key topics. Sybex's CompTIA A+ Complete Fast Pass is that tool." Once you have studied for the New A+ exam, then this book is what you pick up to see if you are ready for the test. It is currently one of the few review books out that covers the new CompTIA A+ exam.

I actually found this book very useful. As the title implies, this is more of a review guide. I used this in tandem with the Sybex A+ Study Guide, and found this book to be a nice complement. No, I don't think I would have passed the test using this book alone. But using this along with my other study tools, I found is very helpful in filling in the blanks.
