Appendix B. CompTIA A+ Exam Reference Matrix

You can use this chart to identify which chapters to study in preparation for the CompTIA A+ Certification Exams. Because the topics for each exam have a number of overlapping areas, this matrix can be used to point you to correct chapters for each exam. Since you need to take two exams, then it is still best to read this entire volume because there is a great deal of overlap between the Essentials exam and all of the other exams.

After reading the entire volume, you can use this chart as part of your review. If you go through the objectives and find any area you don't think you know, you can immediately turn to the appropriate chapter for in-depth review.
