Try going Here to help you study. Don't worry about the test, it's not that bad. At least it wasn't when I took it about 2 years ago...

 

[kingz]

Thanks for the advise choralone. Im looking at that site right now

I agree, and if you fail make sure you know that and read the Exam Cram A+ book.

Easy test.

 

[kingz]

I hope its easy, dont wanna be wasting $107. By the way, if anyone else wants to take it, you can go to testvouchers.com and pick up a voucher for $107. I saved $50 by going there.

I took the test about 2 years ago, I'm not sure what they've changed on the test since, but from what I recall it was pretty easy.
