Hello everyone, I was wanting to know what books you would recommend for getting to study for the CompTIA A+ certification? I plan on taking the exam either toward the end of this year or the beginning of next.

If your taking notes, I like using Prof Messer first, then Comptia A+ Complete Review Guide
These two follow the order of the objectives (ie 1.1, then 1.2, etc...) making it super easy to take notes
Then after you have notes for everything, go through Exam Cram to see if anything is left out.
Go over your notes daily. As you remember stuff change it to a lighter font and skip it (maybe go over everything once a week or so), that way you can focus on what you still need to know.
Having said all that, I am still studying, so I could be totally wrong.

I do this as well. Professor Messer helps guide my learning and gives me a "Curriculum" so to speak. Then, I read Mike Meyers to flesh out concepts. If I am confused on a topic, I read exam cram to clarify in a concise manner

Not to pry, but why wait so long? Even with part time study you should be able to knock this out (0 to hero) in 1-2 months.
Best of luck!
