| I ordered the video and book from Comptia, as well as the Boson practice test. I am comfortable with the material. If I am scoring 95-100% on the practice tests, understanding the material, am I ready for the written portion of the exam? Thanks for any feedback!

| Is a copy of Tcat's book available by itself from any place? I have been looking, but not finding anything.
Thanks! | |

| You can buy Tcat's CTT+ Cert. Guide , by itself, at the above link for $20. | |

| But the question is, do you guys think I am ready for the test if I have completed the above? I will buy TCAT's book if you think it is absolutely necessary, but I want to know if I am close to being ready with the other material that I am currently using! | |

| Well, no one ever answered that for you did they, but apparantly you were ready because you reported shortly thereafter on 5/29/03 that you passed.
What addl study did you do between this post 4/17/03 and test date of 5/29/03?
Congrats!

| No they didn't answer that, but here is what I studied with:
Boson along with the comptia book. If I missed a question I would read the explanation and read the section in the Comptia book. I was getting high scores on boson, but more importantly understanding why each wrong answer was wrong and why the correct answers were correct.
I really dont think you need any more than that, but just my personal opinion. Test was pretty fair and straight forward. | |

| That's funny taht you said that's what you did becasue I have almost the same materials as you and that's exactly what I have been doing today with the boson tests I bought yesterday. Going to the handbook when I got one wrong and figuring out why.
Perhpas that approach will help me pass like it did for you.
I cannot get the Boson test to jsut give me the questions that pertain to a particular competency like it says I can. Does this function work on your version of the software? I have written to boson about this but no reply yet.
I also transfereed some well written notes I got from cramsession into the simpletext doc on the MAC and I have the MAC reading them to me over and over too. It's like subliminals.
I wish I had a copy of that darn ibstpi competency book in digital form so I could get the MAC to read that out loud too. I could then put it on the MP3 player and listen to it in my sleep too.
Anybody know where I can get a pdf copy of the ibstpi competency book? I do not wish to expend time scanning it right now.
Thanks,

| your MAC reads to you? Thats awesome! Is it standard software that comes with it? I am looking at my CTT+ test, and you have to click on start test, then select categories, then deselect by clicking on the >> thing and then click the one category you want question on, and click < to get that category to move to the left... I took a picture and am attaching it. | |

| Thanks, that did it.
I also received a reply from boson in the meantime and they said I had a really old version for some reason so they were surprised it worked at all. I downloaded the v 5.03 beta update and it is much nicer. Some of the questions are updated too. I was on version 3.93 for some odd reason.
Yes, the MAC was desinged to speak from the very start. The speak function is built into the operating system I have. Maybe v 8.6? I have a really old MAC, it's a POWERMAC8100,(the neighbor was throwing it out so I snatched off the the trash pile and cleaned it up, reformatted the SCSI hard drive, and it worked fine after that) It's not very fast but it's lot's of fun. It will take voice commands such as "what time is it?" and "open mail", and "open browser", "tell me a joke" and such. You can make it talk when you have an alert text box pop up. I set my MAC to say "oh crap!" everytime an alert comes up! It's funny. It will read text to you But you have to convert your text documents into this little text editor called Simpletext to make it work. There are some add on programs that can make it speak emails and word docs too, but I have not had alot of time to fiddle with them lately. Busy with this darn test.
