Mike Meyers?

I have yet to take the A+, and i can't imagine the various skills/knowledge of your students. perhaps you might check out: http://www.pcguide.com/index.htm
The PC Guide you'll find there is more in-depth than you can imagine- I find the guide a great reference. Perhaps useful as an adjunct to Meyers.
My opinion on Meyers- Probably the one compendium out there on the retail shelves, but I believe it to be rather sparse..maybe another post will confirm, but I don't think that Meyers alone is adequate prep. for the COMPTIA A+

While have no familiarity with this author's A+ cert books, I can speak to the Java Certification Books by this author. The poor reviews are likely very justified. It was the worst book purchase I had ever made. Many, many errors throughout the entire book. Although I have no suggestion as to a good A+ cert book, I can only say, avoid anything by him like the plague!

I have been using the "new gear" rnage of books for all my resoources and have found them very in depth, with exam prep Q and A all the way through along with tips, hints and most importantly the most kind of common exam questions you are likely to recieve.I dont mean this in the context that it reveales answers by cheating lol just that it gives u tips on what are the most important aspects within what section of th book you are on. www.newriders.com
good luck.

Well, when I got my A+ I used a book called "The A+ Exams Guide" by Christopher Crayton as my main study tool. It was very good, but I don't know how it would stack up for use in teaching a class. I've never used the All-in-one Mike Meyers book, although I did supplement my studies with his A+ Certification Passport.

Sorry I can't be of more help...

I know that this is gunna sound kinda of strange, But its true.

A years back in need of some credits i had taken a A+ class. now i had all ready been threw the the deal and had my cert. so i had worked out a deal with the teacher. who was so far out of date that it wasnt funny. so for the most part i was teaching the class. as our main book we had Mike's 4th edition book. witch was terrible so I had gone to the local book shop and poked around at all the books to find one that would work best in the class. after about 3 hours of this i happen to stuble apon the " A+ cert. for dummies"
Fliping threw i found it to be rather indepth and well written. so i had recommended it to the students in the class. from what i heard from them was they had found the book to be more user friendly then the other because of there differnt tech levels.

Just some food for thought

I think the Exam Prep series is a better book. I took a course with that book, and it enabled me to pass the exam. Plus, it comes with practice test software which for me was very valuable.

But note, for the novice get the EXAM PREP not the EXAM CRAM. Big difference there.
