5.0 out of 5 stars Easy to understand, review and follow!

G. · March 3, 2023

I recently had the pleasure of using the CompTIA A+ Complete Study Guide: Core 1 Exam 220-1101 and Core 2 Exam 220-1102 to prepare for my certification exams, and I must say that this book is a fantastic resource for anyone looking to become A+ certified.The guide is well-organized and provides a comprehensive overview of all the topics covered on the exams. It covers everything from hardware and software troubleshooting to networking and security concepts, with clear explanations and helpful diagrams that make complex concepts easy to understand.One of the things I appreciated most about this study guide was the inclusion of practice questions and exam tips throughout the book. The practice questions were especially helpful in preparing me for the format and difficulty of the actual exam. The book also includes access to online practice tests, which are a great way to further reinforce your knowledge and skills.Another great feature of this guide is the author's writing style. The author has a clear and concise writing style that makes the material easy to follow and engaging to read. I found myself flying through chapters without getting bogged down in technical jargon or unnecessary detail.Overall, I highly recommend the CompTIA A+ Complete Study Guide: Core 1 Exam 220-1101 and Core 2 Exam 220-1102 to anyone looking to become A+ certified. It is an excellent resource that provides all the information you need to succeed on the exams, and the included practice questions and exam tips make it a valuable tool for anyone looking to pass the A+ certification exams.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great book thicker and larger than expected with a lot of information

G.p. · December 26, 2024

This is an amazing book if you’re studying for the Comptia a+ exam. This has the lastest knowledge in CompTiA A+ for anyone studying in the IT field that would like to take the exam and get certified. It has a lot of content in the table of contents and different vocabulary words and terms for the exam as well as basic knowledge for CompTia. It’s good to study online but having a book you can read and highlight is good as well. This book goes through various topics that include most of the knowledge needed about computers, laptops and other devices as well as software and hardware inside the PC.

5.0 out of 5 stars Get it.

A. · February 18, 2025

Well I can say this if this book helped me it'll help you. I am completely computer illiterate. I knew the basics like mouse goes in to computer mouse works. Now though I understand a step up or two from that basic and can actually seem educated when talking about something. I highly recommend this book if you are interested in getting in to technology it'll explain things in a simple way.

4.0 out of 5 stars Easy to Follow

C. · February 23, 2024

This is a great book for introductory IT certification preparation. The book is easy to follow and maps out chapters according to tested domains. 4 stars because the diagrams and graphics are sometimes too blurry to make note of the details the text is calling attention to. And, chapter review question pools are very small and don't always give indication how it relates to the certification exam. Still one of the best options encountered and couples well with hands-on activities/online labs or exercises.

5.0 out of 5 stars Thanks

j. · September 17, 2025

Ordered for my son. He passed part one, awaiting the 2nd

5.0 out of 5 stars This book is insanely HUGE

B. · September 5, 2024

I love the information within the book as it seems to have everything you need to know in order to pass the exam but this book could be split into 2. It would be nice if it was split according to the 1101 and 1102 exams. The content is great but the amount of content is overwhelming. I guess this one with Dion and Messer, you'll be overly prepared for the exam and hopefully pass on the first try. But I also recommend getting the Kindle version.

5.0 out of 5 stars It works

D. · August 6, 2025

Used this to study for my A+. Passed both 1101 and 1102 with this.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent book

K.I.J. · April 8, 2025

This book is better than I expected. Everything is perfectly explained .

Very informative book

M.N.L.Y. · March 26, 2025

Very informative book, quick delivery

Well worth the price.

D. · November 4, 2023

This book is well written. I recommend it.

Good book!!

G.V. · February 3, 2023

Just what I needed..Thanks

Content = great! Book = Absurdly Large.

I.V. · November 11, 2022

The content in this book is great and will help you for the exam. But I suggest getting the Ebook instead. The book is massive. It probably could be split into two large books itself. If that doesn’t bother you then power to you!

bei praktischer Erfahrung für eine Vorbereitung auf die Prüfung m. E. gut geeignet

c. · July 28, 2025

Ich habe mich zunächst mit diesem Buch eingearbeitet. Danach habe ich noch einen Online-Kurs belegt und dann mit den Prüfungsvorbereitungen begonnen.Man merkt dem Buch an, dass einige Beschreibungen sehr formalistisch erstellt worden sind. Das hat aber keine Folgen für die Qualität der Ausführungen. Es wirkt sich nur eventuell auf die tägliche Lerndauer aus. Wer mit monotonen Ausführungen nicht umgehen kann, wird das Buch in kleineren Abschnitten lesen können. Alles was man braucht, ist darin zu finden. Wen dagegen Monotonität nicht hindert lange zu lesen, kann auch sehr lange Lernzeiten mit diesem Buch verbringen.Ich fand das Buch gut und äußerst hilfreich. Entsprechend einfach vielen mir auch die Prüfungen.Die Besonderheit besteht in der Reihenfolge der Darstellung. Die Breite der Darstellung fand ich angemessen. Wer weniger Praxis hat, wird vielleicht längere Darstellungen wünschen.
