Want something to reinforce College Classes.

VIDEODROME

I am in an Associates program for Cyber Security. I have been through courses that could be considered prep for things like Comptia A+ or even Microsoft. I should have gone for Certification right after some of these classes but I delayed it because I was also tackling work for a Cyber Defense team I was on that consumed huge amounts of my spare time.

I have decided to shift focus and start tackling CompTIA A+. What I'm looking for is a good book that is not unecessarly verbose like so many College Text books seem to be. I also want good practice tests to simply drill for CompTIA and help me refresh on the material.

From what I've read, it seems like Exam Cram is what would work for my situation and seems reasonably priced. Just thought I'd get a second opinion or recommendations of specific Editions or package deals.

Otherwise, I need to decide if I can squeeze in the 700 series before the end of August or get a study kit for the 800 series.

I used the sybex offical study guide for all of my CompTia certs. They weren't overly technical/verbose, and provided practice quiz's. Also, comes with a .PDF version of the book, as well as practice exams.
