Need advice on A+ study materials

[Tectron]

I have been reading reviews of various A+ preperation materials on Amazon, but I cant seem to find any that are all inclusive. Id rather not purchase 2 or 3 differant A+ books to prepare for a single certification. Does anyone have any suggestions as far as being up to date and most of all accurate study materials .

Thanks

Only take it if you're bored, it doesn't really count for a whole lot from what I've heard

A+ is like a GED, it acutally makes you look bad if you are applying to real IT positions.

I had thought that A+ was worth little as well until i went looking for a computer related job and everyone wanted an A+ minimum. I guess over 10 years of computer related skills dont matter. I will investigate the book suggested Im not sure if Ive seen it yet.

Thanks

Not much from what I've heard. They've moved more to 2000/XP. Still helps to know the background and plenty of basic Interrupt memory addresses. I took it in 2001 and passed easily without studying. Just know a good deal about hardware and windows and you'll do fine.

I took some of the online sample test I have found and I did well on those. Ive been using/diagosing/repairing computers/electronic since the 8088 came out. So I am kind of hoping that it will be easy for me. I think Im going to go with the book that was suggested because there seems to be good reviews for it, and Amazon has a package deal, the A+ book suggested and the Net+ from the same author for the price Barns and Nobel sells just the A+ book for.

Thanks

Yeah, this site is great. Free study guides and practice exams.

I spent all summer reading the exam cram 2 book, it was a waste of time.

Just read these free study guides and take the exam.

Don't take the exam until you get above 80% consistently, just to be sure you will pass on test day.
