Hello everyone, I was wanting to know what books you would recommend for getting to study for the CompTIA A+ certification? I plan on taking the exam either toward the end of this year or the beginning of next.

Check out Mike Myers's book
CompTIA A+ Certification All-in-One Exam Guide, 8th Edition (Exams 220-801 & 220-802): Michael Meyers: 9780071795128: Amazon.com: Books

The Exam Cram Book
http://www.amazon.com/CompTIA-220-801-220-802-Exam-Cram/dp/0789749718/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1431553694&sr=8-3&keywords=A%2B

and Professor Messer's online FREE video Course
Professor Messer's CompTIA 220-801/802 A+ Training | Professor Messer - CompTIA A+, Network+, Security+, Linux, Microsoft Technology Training

Not to pry, but why wait so long? Even with part time study you should be able to knock this out (0 to hero) in 1-2 months.

Best of luck!

If your taking notes, I like using Prof Messer first, then Comptia A+ Complete Review Guide

These two follow the order of the objectives (ie 1.1, then 1.2, etc...) making it super easy to take notes

Then after you have notes for everything, go through Exam Cram to see if anything is left out.

Go over your notes daily. As you remember stuff change it to a lighter font and skip it (maybe go over everything once a week or so), that way you can focus on what you still need to know.

Having said all that, I am still studying, so I could be totally wrong.

I've been reading Darril Gibson's book.

I do this as well. Professor Messer helps guide my learning and gives me a "Curriculum" so to speak. Then, I read Mike Meyers to flesh out concepts. If I am confused on a topic, I read exam cram to clarify in a concise manner
