When I took mine, I had studied for a few months from a A+ Review book created by Michael Myers. I liked it, and the material was easy to remember..
And no, there is no age / degree requirement.. it is a very, very basic certification. If interested in IT, do research as to what your specific career area requires or expects.
Some jobs of IT will love certifications, and some won't look at you without a degree. Some don't care if you have either, and want you to have experience...
It all depends. ;-p
