I don't know of any books as I never used any, but I do have one piece of advice: the correct answer is never there. Therefore, go with the "Comp/TIA" answer, which is usually the most archaic and obscure one there. Also, know your stages of laser printing, the DOS boot sequence (yes, I said DOS), and the OSI model. The best test to see whether you need to study a piece of information: if it has ANY relevence to actually fixing computers, don't bother because it probably won't be on the test.
