I recently used these CompTIA A+ Practice Tests as part of my exam preparation and studying review, and I couldn't be more pleased with the results. The practice questions in this book are a game-changer for anyone gearing up for the CompTIA A+ exam.What sets this book apart is its breakdown of practice questions according to exam objectives. This organization made it incredibly easy for me to focus on specific areas of the curriculum and understand how each question directly applies to the exam content. It provided a targeted approach to my study sessions, saving me valuable time.There are a lot of questions provided in this book, and they are well-worded and easy to understand. They mirror the complexity and format of the actual exam questions, preparing you for what to expect on the big day. The clarity of the questions made it easy for me to grasp the underlying concepts and reinforce my understanding of key topics.If you're serious about acing the CompTIA A+ exam, I highly recommend these practice questions. It's a comprehensive resource that will boost your confidence by providing a solid foundation through well-structured practice questions.

I read through the book and found this to be a wonderful resource for those looking to practice for the Core 1 and Core 2 certification exams for CompTIA A+. What makes this book exceptional is not only that it is a well-written book where you can clearly understand the questions and explanations, but that the authors also create questions by domain. That means that you can follow the CompTIA exam guide and ensure that you have a solid grasp of each of the objectives in each domain before you sit for the certification exams. What I also really like and enjoy about the book is that after you complete the mock exam, you can flip to the answers and see what answer is correct, and they've included a full write-up of why that answer choice is correct. They also will go through the other answer choices and explain fully why the other questions are incorrect. That helps me to learn more about A+ in general, and it also reinforces the concepts you need to know in order to obtain this certification.The authors of this book, Ian Neil and Mark Birch, are lifelong educators, with thousands of students who successfully obtained certifications thanks to Ian and Mark sharing their knowledge and mentoring them through complex, technical concepts. Anyone who uses this book as a means to pass their certification exams for the CompTIA A+ will find this to be an invaluable resource that will help them achieve success.

Much like the previous PACKT resources i have reviewed this one also delivers. PACKT Publishing have taken the quality of the products much higher. This book not only can serve as study material for the COMPTIA exam but can be used as a reference at your desk.
