About Total Tester
The best way to prepare for the CompTIA A+ exams is to read the book and then test
your knowledge and review. We have included a sample of Total Seminars’ practice
exam software to help you test your knowledge as you study. Total Tester provides you
with a simulation of the actual exam. There are four suites of exams: Essentials, 220-
602, 220-603, and 220-604. Each suite contains two exams that can be taken in either
practice or final mode. Practice mode provides an assistance window with hints, refer-
ences to the book, an explanation of the answer, and the ability to check your answer
as you take the test. Both practice and final modes provide an overall grade and a grade
broken down by certification objective. To launch a test, select Suites from the menu at
the top, select an exam, and choose from the list of available practice exams. Addi-
tional practice exams are available for all four of the CompTIA A+ exams. Visit our Web
site at www.totalsem.com or call 800-446-6004 for more information.
