CompTIA A+ Certification Study Guide

By Andrew Whitaker, Keatron Evans

Description

CompTIA's A+ exam 2009 (220-701 and 220-702) consists of two exams. The first focuses on fundamentals in computer technology, networks and security, as communication and professional skills. The second exam focuses on taking the information of the first exam and applying it to solve problems; troubleshooting and tools are a major component of this second exam.

Our study guide layout follows that of the exam, helping the reader to understand not only the material but what to expect from the exam and how to expect it. We have hundreds of questions for self-testing along with several worked examples that are especially useful for the second part of the exam which focuses on application of principles. After reading this book not only will you be able to pass each component of the exam but you will have all the technology fundamentals and troubleshooting experience needed to give you the edge at your current job or your next position as a computer support technician. A DVD will be included with 3 practice exams for each exam, podcasts detailing select examples, and open source tools.
