Summary: Great on DOS, but not reflective of the current test!
Comment: Let me begin by saying that I am NOT a novice to the IT field. I have 4 years hands on experience with a variety of network operating systems, multiple hardware platforms and several years experience teaching DOS. I also graduated at the top of my class from a well-known University. Without this background, had I taken the exam with just this book, I would have certainly failed.

I passed the DOS/Windows module earlier this week. This book spends most of its time emphasizing DOS, and I have used it to supplement my lecture material. Unfortunately the vast majority of the test I took focused on Windows 95, with very few questions about DOS. I was caught completely off guard.

Note: THE EXAM HAS CHANGED SINCE THIS BOOK WAS PUBLISHED!

I have serious reservations as to whether or not the Hardware book will be reliable for passing the current Core exam. I hope my real world experience pays off. This book didn't. Unless you are extremely strong on Windows 95 DO NOT use this book and expect to pass the exam!

Summary: Good Choice for the A+ DOS/Windows exam.
Comment: This book by David Groth proved to be a good choice for the exam. it covered the topics very well and provides a CD ROM with questions and answers. There are also Q&A at the end of each chapter. I found some of the answers to be in error, but that just means you are smart enough to catch them. I recommend this book for the exam. I passed passed both Core Modules of the certification exam with an overall 81% score.

Summary: Not for a beginner
Comment: The second A+ (dos & windows) module by Sybex really disappointed me. Very scant on Dos commands and not ideal for a dos 'newbee'. I rate this book very poorly against the core module book which I found very helpful.
