Well not giving people 24 hrs to reply is being a tad impatient

 

Found a link to this FREE practice test hidden away on the proprofs.com site.

:ahem: Latest resource for the 2009 version of the A+ exam. Just sayin'

 

CompTIA A+ study notes

So according to that resource, you need to know Vista configuration for the 601 exam... Vista isn't featured at all in the Meyers book

I'm changing my aims to the 2009 material and exams.

 

glad I found this thread. im using Mike Myers A+ books at the moment... Very helpful indeed

 

hi I am new to A+ certification discussion. As the new course has come out and its 701 would I have to give exam in 601 or 701 . which study material should i buy

 

Thanks for the Professor Messer links!

 

passed both 2009 exams using this book and the enclosed practice tests so may be worth a look..

Hi all, don't know if this has been asked/answered already, but is the 7th Edition of Mike Meyers' CompTIA A+ Certification worth getting if I have the 6th edition? I'm happy to buy it, but I'm just curious about how different it will be? Was the new one released to address a new exam style/structure?

Thanks in advance

 

Yes the new one was released to address the new exams, the layout is a bit different and it does cover some newer material, i would say buy it as its relatively inexpensive compared to the 2 tests.

 

Hmm this is available on Amazon Kindle for $31.95. Would that be worth it? Has anyone bought that version? I wonder if you get access to the CD content that comes with the book?

 

Is the 7th edition still the best resource for the tests? I saw a review on amazon.co.uk that said the book doesn't cover windows 7,which is necessary for the exams.

 

It won't cover a specific OS, as comptia A+ is vendor neutral.

 

Ok thanks.

 

It may mention windows 7 as the book was written before windows 7 was released to the generall public but it will mention other operating systems in a bit more detail like XP and windows Vista.

 

Sorry to open up a rather old thread, but I was wondering if the Mike Meyers A+ Study Guide is still considered the "gold standard" of A+ study guides. One of my sons is considering studying for the certification and I thought I'd get an update. I already gave him the latest books I wrote (see my blog) but neither of them are the required "central tome". Thanks.

yup, it is!

 

Thanks. I already sent a link to the book to my son. Looks like I'm dragging the next generation into IT hell.
