A+ Certification ?

Post by ccb056 »

How would I go about becoming A+ Certified?

Would the test be hard If I've already worked in a computer repair/build company, built half a dozen of pcs, setup three ethernet networks, and a server?

Thanks. Image

Both are pretty easy. Just study up good beforehand and you'll do fine. :)

Dont rely on the information you have learned on the job to pass the test. You have to know the answers that the test wants, wich arent allways true or totaly correct.

which year Objectives did you take War?, i passed my 2003 Objectives and only a few SCSI based questions came up for me.

the OS Part of the certification, basically tests to see if you know your OS'es and the differences and operating proceedures are, as they differ in each version in one way or another.
