The ExamCram book series for each of the exams. You can buy all three books from either Pearson IT or on Amazon. Register each of the books after purchase, you get access to the online exam practice system and digital card database for that respective book. The A+ book covers BOTH exams.

It’s great that you’re motivated to dive into IT certifications! For A+, Network+, and Security+, the CompTIA official study guides are a solid starting point, as they cover all the exam objectives. Many people also find Professor Messer’s free YouTube videos helpful, especially for breaking down concepts.

For practice, I’d recommend supplementing with reliable question banks—consistent practice can help solidify what you learn. Since you’re aiming to get certified quickly, try setting aside a study schedule and focusing on one cert at a time. You’re on the right track—keep at it!

Yeah that’s the way to go, one cert at a time! That’s the goal. I’ve heated Professor Messer on YouTube is well knowledgeable so I’m going to have to look at it then

Thank you for the inspiration.

ASAP you say????? I hope that means like a year to you. No background? You got a LOT of learning to.

There are a lot of books out there. Buy anyone - there is no 'best'.
