Hi there,

I hope you all don't mind me posting but I'm a bit worried about my partner.
He is studying for A+ and has been using the latest Mike Meyers All In One
guide book, 1000+ page monster He knows it cover to cover and
understands all the concepts etc fully. The problem is we recently bought
him A+ Exam Cram 2 (Edited by Ed Tittel) and this has caused no end of
problems. The trouble is this new book goes into such horrendous details
about electronics and physics and is basically 10 times more in depth than
Mike Meyers and written almost nothing like it. We have since downloaded
the CramSession A+ Hardware guide and that is more like Mike Meyers and
again my partner is comfortable with that and knows virtually everything on
the guide.
My question is, knowing Mike Meyers cover to cover, is this enough to get
certified, or should my partner be more comfortable with Exam Cram 2 cover
to cover with all it's science and physics babble? He luckily has to wait
until November to take the exams so does have time I guess to learn the Exam
Cram stuff, but is it really needed, from my standpoint as someone who has
half studied Mike Meyers it seems so above and beyond what MM writes that it
seems like it's for a different exam entirely, a physics one!

Any input would be great, we are both worried here and can't really afford
to waste £200 on exams if Mikey Meyers book isn't enough and my partner
really needs all this science and physics stuff to pass. We really need to
know

Thanks very much in advance for helping.

Grippeh.

If he knows Mike Meyers cover-to-cover, I'm sure he'll do fine. If he
took it right now, he'd probably pass. It never hurts to overstudy though.

If the All-in-one book is the Fifth Edition (and possibly even if it's
not), he should be good. It's what I used to study (after reading it
cover to cover, I realized I didn't really need to study) and I aced the
exams... just today actually.

Wow I am impressed! I did mean to read it cover to cover but didn't quite do
it all but still passed. So he will definately be fine.

I'll agree with the group, I used Mike Meyes, learned most of it, then got
the exam cram guide. Kind of freaked out when I saw how much more indepth
it went...learned all of it anyways, then wrote the test...
I then complete regreted spending all that time studying, the test was a
joke

What do you mean by "old exam"?

Ahh, I see. I was concerned that you were implying that Network+ was
going away completely... but I see now that you mean only that the exam
is updated and the old one will disappear.
