About this title

Review:

A+ Exam Cram provides an excellent way for certification candidates to study for both A+ exams. This book details all of the relevant aspects of IBM-compatible PC hardware, plus the tested details of MS-DOS, Windows 3.x, and Windows 95. With a careful explanation of all terms, concepts, and techniques that A+ technicians need to understand, Exam Cram: A+ lends itself to both leisurely study and quick review.

This book does have one shortcoming: it is almost devoid of illustrations--unusual in a book largely about manipulating the physical things that make up a computer. Of the handful of photographs and line drawings that are included, many are blurry or otherwise difficult to interpret.

Exam Cram: A+ deserves kudos for the practice questions that appear at the end of each of its chapters. The answers (which really ought to be separated from the questions to make it harder to accidentally cheat) include brief discussions that substantiate why the answer is correct. This approach integrates exam preparation with the accumulation of reasoned knowledge that will be valuable after the test. The authors use a similar approach (with separate answers) for a full practice test. --David Wall
