A+ Certification

[compguy91]

I know some of you are A+ certified and I was wondering what books you would recommend to help me get an A+ certification. I've heard good things about the Mike Myers books but was wondering if there's anything else out there or if you have any tips for studying/preparing.

Thanks

From what I've heard the test is pretty easy. Just gotta know your hardware.

I heard Mike Meyers is pretty good, but I got the "CompTIA A+ Complete" by Docter, Dulaney, and Skandler. That's what I used to get my certification.

Thats what we used in High School.

Where do you take the test at and how much does it cost?

You take the test at either a Prometrics or a Pearson Vue testing center. A+ requires the passing of two exams, last I checked, were $169 USD apiece.
