Recommendations on how to pass A+ exam

Explain

Hi everyone. I'm new to the IT field and I want to get my CompTIA A+. What do you guys suggest on doing? Is it realistic to study the -CompTIA A+ Certification All-in-One Exam Guide, Seventh Edition (Exams 220-701 & 220-702)- by Michael Meyers for 2+ Months and watch Professor Messer’s video and then take the exam? Or is it more of a challenge then that? Would it be smart to go to a school like new horizons and learn in classroom? I would prefer self/online learning, but I want to be realistic. What I'm trying to ask is, is it possible being new to the IT world and pass the exam by just reading books and videos and working on to take apart at home?

Thanks, Chris
