CompTIA A+ Certification All-in-One Exam Guide, Eleventh Edition (Exams 220-1101 & 220-1102)

I’ve read a lot of reviews here. A lot of them are people seemingly taking out their frustrations on minuscule things they can point out. It really just seems like being nitpicky and complaining just to complain. The book is in black and white, yes, but so what? They save money not printing in color and the pictures and text are entirely legible. There’s BARELY any bit of fuzzy text or hazy looking pictures and by barely, I mean so little that you would have to get real close to point it out under lighting. You have to find it to see it which… *putting stick in bicycle spokes meme here* Another point that was made was regarding the redundancy of information and how it can give you too much of one topic only to be told it is not needed for the test; another way to complain about something so small and insignificant. If the topic you’re reading about isn’t on the test, maybe you should download the exam objectives given to you for FREE on the official CompTIA website that OUTLINES EVERYTHING you that will be on the core 1 and 2 exams. It’s pretty simple to follow what you need to study and even if it’s too much information on a subject matter… these things you should know anyway. It won’t hurt you. This is a plethora of valuable information all for a very low cost. This is your ticket to your success. I wanted to write this to dispel some of the “issues” people were talking about which, again, seems to be nitpicking and unnecessary. This is a great book. Do yourself a favor and buy it if you’re thinking about going for the exam. This book and Professor Messer on YouTube (Core 1 1101 & Core 2 1102) will guarantee a passing score. He posts all topics outlined in the CompTIA A+ exam objectives. Best of luck to whoever is reading this!

I cannot stress how helpful this in conjunction with my textbook was. Are you studying for your CompTIA A+ exam? I definitely recommend this bad boy. He is MUCH thicker than he appears and goes in depth.

I am currently enrolled at a state university seeking an IT degree. The information in this book is way more comprehensive than what my school has provided for the corresponding class. It actually makes me a little nervous about dishing out money for a degree. Mike Meyers and his team do a phenomenal job of explaining the current CompTIA A+ material in a fun way that provides a satisfying amount of foundational knowledge too. You aren't just memorizing test questions; you are learning about computers. Want to skip the foundational knowledge and go right to the test material?!? You can do that too. Each section is clearly labeled as Historical/Contextual information or given the 1101 or 1102 distinction to indicate material that you can expect to find on the corresponding exam. There is even a Beyond A+ header for info that may be too new for the current exam, but is good to know. Even if you have no interest in obtaining a CompTIA A+ certification this book serves as an essential manual for all things computer. As a life-long computer nerd, I wish I had read this book years ago. Now, if only Total Seminars could show me how to make sense of this OneDrive garbage...

This book is well written and has a lot of good information, but I am less than halfway in and I have found multiple mistakes in the answer keys of the chapter review questions. Seems like a pretty easy mistake to find and fix. This book has been out a while and was not exactly cheap. Also, mine arrived a little beat up, but that isn’t on the publisher. That said, I am enjoying the book part of the book. It’s an easy read and it covers a lot of topics. I haven’t tried the online content yet, but I like the book and would recommend it as a resource.

I have the audio version and the hardback copy. I thought the audio version would be adequate for studying but my learning style would argue. Im a visual and kinesthetic learner so I need the actual book to learn. I intend to play the audio and follow along with my physical book. I feel this will help me absorb the knowledge better. I intend to fill in any missing gaps for the current exam. If I find this version is too outdate I will buy the 1201-1202 guides. The book came with minor damages on the spine of the cover. Not a big deal since I bought it used. I really love that the previous owner left their Celtic knot page pointer! I feel like it’s enchanted now and Im sure to pass!

If you want to pass your A+ exams the first time through then this book is what you need. I’ve held an A+ for many years but always like to keep up with the new stuff. This book does a great job of getting you ready. Don’t think it’s a one stop shop though. You must dig into labs to learn it all.

Been studying for the COMPTIA A+ Certification test. This book is full of things! I have been selft taught all my life. This book has a more in depth explanation and experience than I already knew! Definitely beginner friendly! Has a pre test in the beginning of the book to help you find the areas you may need more study on. Helps you get a basis of the amount of hours and months of study you might need to pass. Highly recommend. Good use with Proffer Messer videos on youtube for extra study.

Libro pessimo, pieno di chiacchiere inutili che ne allunga solo le pagine da leggere e poi diversi concetti importanti sono spiegati superficialmente come ad esempio i vari tipi di RAID.....comprensibili solo da un Senior IT altrimenti è come non aver letto nulla!!! Sconsigliatissimo!!! Dion training su Udemy e studiate rapidamente, ciò che realmente serve e i concetti vengono spiegati bene, qualche volta vi ritroverete a cercare dettagli su Wikipedia ma è raro doverlo fare. Dion training 10su10, questo libro 1su10. Non acquistatelo!

It is an amazing book. It is explained in clear and straightforward words. Buy and use it. 100% the best book

Very comprehensive study and reference book. At first seems enormous amount of information but then think of all the areas of IT it covers and you will appreciate the details. Seems good as reference and for examination preparation.

Has all the information needed to study and pass the test

I have learned many things from this, I would recommend this to all.
