Certification Prep

| Greetings all.
I've been in the computer industry for a number of years and have never
needed to get certified on anything. Not that I really need to now, but I
have been considering getting certified in some areas just so I become a
little more marketable. I've got a lot of hardware and OS expierence and
was wondering how to best go about getting prepared for the A+ test?
Also, is there a place online where I can take a practice exam (perferably
free) to see how good my knowledge level is now?
Thanks & Happy Holidays to all!

| I just took the A+, i was surprised at just how easy it was. I used the
examcram 2 guide, and some free tests on freecomptia.com
I got between 80-100% on the freecomptia practice sites, so if your in the
same range you should be set.
Good luck

| Happy Holidays!
First off, I too am have been in the industry for years and never needed
certification until now.
I studied for A+ using Michael Meyer's passport series A+ book. I also used
the free tests
on freecomptia.com, and the software that came with the passport book. I
read this book 2 or 3 times thru.
When I got most of the quiz questions right in the book and freecomptia, I
knew I was ready.
I passed both A+ tests on my first attempt. That material together with my
experience got me thru.
It was especially good, because my skin-flint, cheap-XXX company wouldn't
pay for any of my A+ training/test taking, etc.
I have since gotten Server+ as well, which I found more challenging due to a
lack of good study material.
Good luck and I hope this helped!
Now for Network+ !!
