hello everyone! Simple question which text should I get?

I am going to my A+ - I just recently passed my security+ (today!) - I used the sybex guide - but like all texts it didn't cover evrything!

On all your advice I would like to know which one for the updated exam?

Sybex (3rd ed.)or Michael Meyers (5th ed.)?

or another one??

all advice will be appreciated

i have not used any sybex books so I can compare them to Michael Myers books. I am currently using the Micael Meyers 5 edition to study for my os exam. It seems like it covers alot of important stuff.

I used Mike Myers for both A+(4th), and Net+(2nd) and liked both. I also used Transcender, and some free internet resources(here).

Does the m. meyers text have a list of objectives printed in the book ?

Yes. Each chapter has a list of objectives that they will go over on the first page of each chapter. If you want objectives for the actual test here is the link

You can always go to a book store just to check the book out to make sure it is right for you, but I can assure you that the 5th edition is a great book. Easy to read too.
