I am a beginner in the tech field and was recommended A+ to start. I purchased CompTIA A+ Complete Study Guide, by Toby Skandier...

I am not sure what else I need to do or where to start.Read it. Cover to cover. Twice. Get REAL world experience, as much as you can.

CompTIA A+ for Dummies is also good.The post by quaxo is right.

Read the book. Don't worry too much about having the most recent UPDATED information. Try to understand what you read.
Links like this are useful:

Yet reading the book from cover to cover is the main goal.Thank you both! I will defintely get the dummies book and read through the website! I WILL be back with more questions. You should check out Professor Messer. He has tons of videos and quizzes to help you learn.

Also, when I was studying for the A+ exam I bought a book and CD with practice tests. I took the practice tests many times at home. That helped the most when I actually took the exam.Hello,

I was reading through CompTIA A+ for Dummies I CAME to a section about reading binary number and converting them into decimal values and them about converting hexadecimal. I didn't find the examples and the explanation to be very helpful. Is there someone that can explain this in a better way then the book.

Thank youQuote from: smitty10492 on May 25, 2011, 01:35:34 PM
