| | I just started self-teaching for the A+ certification. If you are too, please respond. It would be nice to converse with someone else about what we are learning and getting prepared for the exams. I am using the book "CompTIA A+ Study Guide" by Quentin Docter. If you have a better suggestion for a study guide, let me know. Justin Pecharka North Carolina, USA |

| I just took the 701 & 702 exams today back to back. No problems. If you have been playing with computers for awhile it should be pretty easy for you. I studied the same 2009 book by sybex and took alot of practice exams that i found online.
The practical exam practice tests that came with the book were hard but the test was way easier. Dont let the attributes and i/o's questions scare you.
I finished both tests in 1.5 hours. If you study materials from the 601 & 602 tests, you should be fine. You only need a little knowdledge of vista.
The test was alot easier than i thought or maybe im just very smart! |

| This is a truly awful decision that shows a lack of integrity from CompTIA, I really hope they see the error of their ways and reverse it.
There has been much disscussion here :-

| | Hi, I started self study for the Comptia A+ in december. I'm using a course I ordered from a home study school here in Holland (I'm not dutch i'm English). The course is in English in case you was wondering. I am studying for a career change, so apart from basic computing and stuff I've learn't all by myself over the years I am a complete beginner. I have read on quite a few forums that the test is not very hard. What are your thoughts?? After almost 8 weeks studying (almost everyday and hours at a time) I am still on the first domain, which is personal computer components. I want to be sure I know and understand it before moving on to the 2nd domain. There is just so much info!! My course, although apparently for the most recent exams, seems very outdated. Success with your study!! |
