Studying for A+ exam

well I got laid off from my job so I'm back on the job hunt again...I have no formal work experience with computers but I'm been building and repairing computers for a few years now...unfortunately it's been hard to get the attention of employers so I hope passing the A+ exam will help me out...

I bought and I'm currently reading "the complete guide to a+ certificaiton" by michael graves...it's got good information but maybe too much information...so I'm asking you guys...what parts should I focus on?

upon reading the book I feel I'm bombarded with outdated information...do I really need to know the specifications of pre-at form factors? do I really need to know the dos bootup process? there's a lot of details that I certainly understand...but I'm not sure if I can really remember them...

also does anyone know good links to study guides/practice tests/ or just something that'll help out on the test?
 
Also check out study4less.com after you get your A+... You can rollover your A+ and obtain an CST certification. Might help give you a small edge over someone who only has their A+....

Anyways, I notcied that techexams.net was mentioned which is an excellent site. I also saw mcmcse.com mentioned which is another excellent site. I wouldn't rely on the websites by themselves, you should pick up a book as well.

I used Sybex and any online practice test I could find when I took my A+ a couple years back.

Good luck!

 
i second mcmcse and techexams... they have good material

the study guides @ cramsession.com are good too... only like $10 a pop
