Good luck with the studying! Interesting method of doing it!

Harry.

 

Good luck to you... as long as you don't read WHILE driving.

 

Good luck! The Meyers book is big, but it's chock full of good and useful information.

 

Good luck with the studying

I’ve done that!
Not that I condone it, but I seem to remember better when I’m doing multiple things. I don’t do it anymore – I have kids now, responsibility first. Found other ways for effective studying

 

Good luck and keep at it, before you know you'll be done!

 

Read Micheal Meyers book from cover to cover and you have no problem understanding the concept of how computers work. Also it is important to set youself target of how many pages you are going to read a day and stick to that plan.

Good in your studies

 

I am at the 500 page mark at the moment, for the past 2 weeks i have been reading & taking notes for 3 days a week thurs,fri,Saturday in between taxi driving.

i seem to be getting there, great book, certain things are clicking into place!

thx

 

I'd recommend downloading the eBook now from a bittorrent website, as this would now be legal because you own an original copy. It's what I've done and the eBook is split into chapters.

 

yeh i have the ebook already and alot of other comptia material
just ordered PC Technician Street Smarts, so once i read mike meyers, i will looking at that one, then i will proberly read mike meyers again

cheers

 

Excellent

 

Hi all, I have recently started the A+ at my local college doing one night a week. The books they provide are from a "gts learning", are these books any good or should I invest in the M Meyers book aswell?

 

Never heard of them I would recommend getting the MM book

 

Good choice, many here recommend trips book and a aid to study, goodluck with your studies!

 

hi m8...ive just ordered Mike Meyers All In One 6th Edition and PC Technician Street Smarts....does the Mike Meyers book come with an ebook on disc or not. I could do with this to put on the lappy.

thanks

 

no it comes with a cd that has practice exams on it, along with a demo of the video training with Mike Meyers, a glossary of terms you will need to know and some free software like cpu-z and the like.

 

Actually, it DOES include an electronic copy of the book. From Amazon:

 

I must have missed the e-book I prefer real books anyway.

 

thanks for the info guys. Cant wait till these arrive now and I can get going...im not the best of readers but im determined to do this.

 

Good luck with your A+ studies
