How long did you study for the exam?
How much did it cost to take the exam?

The OS test is the harder of the two. When I took it it had a bunch of obscure older OS crap on it.

 

[Raj]

studied on and off for a month and a half, and hard core for the last week.

the study guide was 20 bucks off bigwords, the sample questions another 20.

Got an exam voucher from getcertified4less for 92 bucks.

Yeah congratulations man! I'm thinking about going for my CCNA. I'm taking networking infrastructure in college and our book is a CCNA study guide.

Does anyone know if the A+ and other certifications really count for anything other than working at the tech department at Best Buy? I think they would look good on my resume, but $150 per test is a lot just for those words. I was also thinking about getting some ACE certifications from Adobe, but people in the industry I've talked to have never even heard of them. I don't know whether they're worth the time and money to pursue them...anyone?
