Professional Review:
As the industry standard in terms of measuring a technician’s hardware and software knowledge, the CompTIA A+ exam is the most popular entry-level certification, particularly for individuals switching from another career to computers. This kit prepares you for the two-part certification exam by offering valuable information on personal computer components, laptop and portable devices, printers and scanners, networks, and security safety and environment.

This boxed contains three books that provides everything you need to prepare for the CompTIA A+ 2006 Certification Exam, including in-depth coverage of all exam objectives, exercises to hone your real-world skills, and a concise review for that last-minute test prep.

   Summary: A Must for Those Preparing for A+ Certification
Excellent. Very thorough and well-written except for some typos. Comes with "Complete Study Guide" as well as a "Fast Pass" summary of the guide's main points and a "PC Technician Street Smarts" book which presents ninety-four real-world scenarios. The two CD-ROMs feature the entire Study Guide in .pdf format, twelve practice tests (three per exam), flashcards, and a glossary. The purpose of the kit is to help you prepare not simply for the certification test but for employment as well.

Amazon.com sent me the package in less than two days and in excellent condition. At around $65, it was a bargain.

   Summary: All in one guide to the new CompTIA 2006 A+ Certifications
This setup saved me half of what the books listed for seperately. I had read PDF versions of the Fast Pass and A+ Complete books a few months ago and wanted to pick up the hard copies for a new employee. So far the "PC Technician Street Smarts" book is helpful as a Politically Correct (CompTIA standards) tutorial. The labs cover real world skills that a newly initiated employee would need in the first weeks and months of thier vocation. It starts out with installing memory and advances to installation of other internal components. It provides more complex lab guides as it covers PC maintenance, Networking and Troubleshooting. When I first picked this book up to glance through it, I was amazed at how much was in the little guy in comparison to the 900+ pages of the study guides. I believe this is one of the most real approaches I have seen on teaching the A+ skills for a beginner.

The "CompTIA A+ Complete Study Guide" is fantastic, not only is it full of more real world scenarios of what an A+ certified Tech should know, it comes with Flash cards! Flash cards have to be one of the most useful study aids there are and these are great. The CD that comes with the book has the full text in PDF format, the flash cards and practice exams. I highly reccomend the study guide over Mike Meyers', it cuts so much of the BS and teaches you using real world application.

The Fast Pass is great review of the previous 2 books and also comes with flash cards and 4 bonus exams.

In conclusion, this is a fantastic package for anyone who wants to pass the 2006 CompTIA A+ exams.
