Did any of you take classes or do most people just study from a book?

in A+
I was thinking about getting my A+ certification over the summer so that I can get an entry level job. I am pursuing an IT degree at a local university. Did most of you just use a study book or did any of you take classes for it? Also, is there any particular study book that you would recommend or are they all more or less equal?
