Re: A+ Computer Technician
I just googled it, and its 190 questions, and you get an hour and a half. The test costs $168.00 to do.

Re: A+ Computer Technician
I can help you with A+. I took it last year. Its not 1000 questions, more like a couple hundred. But there are practice exams on the net that can help you. I can help somewhat, I still have my book. But the best thing you could do is take a class if you can. Being A+ cert. might help you, but here in ky, it doesn't help much as far as a job goes. But its a life time cert and the knowledge is priceless.

Re: A+ Computer Technician
As were a community helping each other I have devised a plan just for you the "Cofree fix my computer for free mail in gala" feel free to rename it as I think you should practice and study your @$& off prior to the test and I don't want a bad title putting you off......I will bite the bullet and send you 4 computers to fix just let me know where you want them sent
Just trying to do my part.

Re: A+ Computer Technician
I can tell you that the test is chalk full of stupid questions. Things that you wouldn't even imagine. Like you notice coffee has been spilled in the computer room floor, what do you do. Well, most people's first instinct is to either clean it up or get someone to clean it up. That would be the wrong answer. The correct answer would be to alert the system admin so he can assess damages if any and then have it cleaned up. There are several of these types of questions as well as customer service type questions like, you go on a service call to a customers house and their dog is jumping on you, what do you do. Or you over hear your customer talking on the phone about impending legal troubles. Most of it is common sense stuff and I would say the test I took, those types of questions made up about 30% of it. And one thing you better study the hell out of if you take it is the OSI layers.

Re: A+ Computer Technician
Ok I literally just got my A+ and it comes in four section depending on your area of expertise. 601 and 602 are required which are (601)=Basic Computer and Software Knowledge called the Essentials, 602 is the Technician and Customer Support side. These two are the "Mandatory" test to get your official Comptia A+ Cert. 603 is Remote Support, and 604 is Bench Tech stuff. It's super easy. I've been studying for my Security+ and Net+ those I can use towards my MCSA.

Re: A+ Computer Technician
NET+ is a little more difficult, but I have that too. I have completed all 4 parts to the A+ cert. Next year will be going for MCSE or MSCA, haven't decided yet.
