A+ Study Guide Edition

I have an "All In One A+ Certification Exam Guide (5th Edition)" by Michael Meyers. I'm on page 625 and just realized his 6th edition is now on the market.
Do I absolutely need to purchase & go with the info. in the 6th edition or can I get by with studying the 5th edition I have now?
Is there any way I could study the 5th edition & pick up the extra by going to some free sites with updated material or taking current exam practice tests?
Thank you greatly.

Bandana2,


6th Edtion, published in 2006 and based on current exams -

Completely revised and updated for all four new exams and reviewed and approved by CompTIA, this definitive volume covers everything you need to know to pass the CompTIA A+ Essentials exam and CompTIA A+ Exams 220-602, 220-603, and 220-604.

5th edition, published in 2003 and based on the old exams -

Prepare to pass CompTIA's A+ certification exams with help from the #1 best-selling exam guide. Fully revised and updated for the new exam releases--and reviewed and approved by CompTIA--this authoritative volume covers everything you need to know to pass both the Core Hardware and Operating System Technologies exams.

Since you are looking at several hundred dollars in exam fees for A+ and the fact the exam format as well as content has changed; I myself would drop the $30-$37 for the latest edition of the book and I have when preping for the CCNA or the 2 times I have recertified my CCNA over the past 8 years.

Sure you can try to piece together what you need for "free" but Mike Meyers has already done a great job of it with the lastest book but it is YOUR money, both for the book $31 or for the exam $160+ !!
