the actual test taking process

I'm interested in becoming A+ certified, and I'm confident that I can, with
my current knowledge, read a couple of quality books on the subject (mostly
to catch up to the newest tech subjects), and gather the necessary knowledge
to pass the test...

....however, as for the next step, can somebody please shed some details on
the specifc process of actually taking the test? i.e. 1) where does one go
to take such an exam? 2) approx how much will it cost? 3) what is the exam
environment typically like?

I don't even know what company gives out these particuar certs...if there's
a website that explains all of the above in sufficient detail, I'd
appreciate a link to it,...TIA

Jake Find the nearest Vue or Prometric test center. That is where you
will take your test. Mine was at the local community college. These
are testing companys who certify nurses, electronic and other trades.
After verifying that you are you, you are set down in front of a
terminal with no notes allowed, and take your timed test.(one hour).
There are two tests for A+ and they are about $150 each, pass or fail.

 

After all the preparation for the test. I found the actuall test a breeze.
