Good A+ prep?

Currently I am in charge of a mixed network of 9 Macs and 13 PCs.

That includes hardware software fixes and repairs and such. I have been
building my own PCs also for about 7 years as well.


I got hold of the A+ Complete Certification Kit from Sybex.
I was wondering how representative the questions in the practice tests are
of the real tests.
Also should I be looking at other prep books/software?

Any heklp is greatly appreciated

Thanks!

 

The way I understand it, Mike Myers and Sybex
are the two highest rated self-study courses.

I'm doing a Microsoft Office course right now.
After that I'll be finishing up the A+. I have
both Myers and Sybex but only have direct experience
with Myers. However, one thing I noticed about
Sybex that I liked was the flash cards. A year
ago I did a Marcraft Computer Service Technician
certificate course. Something I thought would be
handy while I was going through that was flash
cards for things that need to be memorized like
resource allocations. I'm hoping that's what the
Sybex flash cards are about. In any case, in my
opinion, practice testing is the most important
tool. With enough varied practice testing most
anyone can pass the test whether they are competent
or not.

And as for Mac, there's no Mac stuff on the A+
anymore. And that's a minus from my point of
view as I think Mac material would be good exposure
for guys like me who have limited Mac experience.
After the A+ I'm seriously considering going after
an Apple certification.
