A+ Exam

Hi,

I was wondering for the A+ exam is it 2 different tests that give u 1
certificate. Like an Operating System exam & a PC Hardware one?
Or is it just one full test on PC Hardware?
Or just one full test on both?

Thanks,

Thanks, so pretty much 2 seperate tests = 1 A+ Certification.

Any suggestions on which OS book is best to self study?

Mike Meyers has a very good book to prepare you for A+
certification. It is called Mike Meyers Passport A+
Certification. Transcender also offers great practice
tests to prepare you for the exam as well as a good
learning tool in general.

80 questions in 1.5 hours

33% of the test was related to cpu types, speeds, sockets, and
motherboard compatiblity
20% memory types, speeds, number of pins
20% laser and inkjet printing processes, installing, troubleshooting
20% anything to do with laptops, batteries, pc cards, connecting
devices to it
7% scsi related, different types of connectors, basic order of
troubleshooting a pc, bios/cmos issues

Mike Meyers, this is great to know, but I was wondering if there was any self
study books specializing in the OS area. I wanna hold off on hardware for now.

How about "A+ Guide to Software: Managing, Maintaining, and Troubleshooting,
Third Edition
Anything better than this for self study preparation?

Damn.... 1.5 hours huh. Took me a total of 21 minutes, and that was with
the adaptive beta, so i had to answer 30 more questions per exam......
gee, wonder how long it would have taken me if i'd actually studied?
