Book

Hello,

After searching it seems like there are many recommended reading materials. I am in my senior year of my BS in Computer Science. I was just wondering what book would be the best book for me to read and self study to pass the A+ exam.

Thanks

Alot of people read the Mike Meyers All in One sixth edidtion.
There's also the exam cram books w/ a seperate practice questions book
and the A+ passport book. People say to use different resources
because one book might miss out on some information.

Read as much as you can get your hands on.

But for A+ and NET+, Meyers and Sybex are the ones I recommend due to their consistancy, and material covered.

The only thing better then reading is to get out there and DO IT. You have to work with the materials to fully understand, see, feel how they work inside a PC/Server/NETWORK. Reading will only get you so far, you need to experience replacing hardware and the failure to boot afterward to understand what and why went wrong, or perhaps the incorrect inital diagnosis....and all the successes you'll have too!

Thanks for the help.

I had only previous tech experience with building computers, just read the mike myers edition and passed my first test.

You should be fine.
