I'm going to take my A+ essentials exam very soon. I would like to know if anybody has any information on sites, practice exams, tips or any help possible that could get me through it. NO Braindumps etc, . After that i'll be taking the 220-602 IT Technician, so any recommendations, site info would be most appreciated.

Anything at all will be appreciated

All the best with your studies and exams.

Thanks Dusty, I've done alot of googling and am familiar with a lot of them sites, also a lot of them are not as free as they say they are.

I just always have the feeling that i've missed that really good site, coupled with the insecurity that i'm going to fail miserably.

Thanks again, RDggg

reddevilggg, I wish you well on your upcoming exams. I spent many years as a councillor and the advice i want to share with you is; after knowledge the next most important attribute for success is attitude. Get rid of the notion that you are "going to fail miserably". truenorth

And remember the famous saying:

Knowledge is knowing a Tomato is a fruit.
Wisdom is not putting in a fruit salad.

I PASSED....

736 out of 900, which works out as about 82%.

That's given me the boost I need.

Next up.......660-602, IT Technician.

congratulations! i took that eons ago, but then it was probably alot easier way back then when people actually repaired hardware

reddevilggg · « **Reply #14 on:** February 06, 2009, 01:19:50 AM »

No, I think it's easier now, everything is plug'n'play, no IRQ's to configure etc etc

patio · « **Reply #15 on:** February 06, 2009, 09:25:42 AM »

I just realised....you got a B+ on your A+.....

The about.com test:
"All versions of Windows use virtual memory."
Answer: Yes.
Thats incorrect...
Not every version of Windows uses virtual memory. Liars!

about.com is about as reliable as WikiPedia...use with caution.

"Which two windows programs allow you to edit the registry? "
Answer: Device manger.
what the...

And why would you want to know how to network a Windows 98 computer on a Novell system?

Or why would you need to know what operating system requires SYSTEM.INI (And, I knew it was Windows 3.11 for two reasons: 1, they capitalized it, and 2, I remember editing that ancient thing)

Both system and win.ini existed for win versions from 3.1 thru WinME...

And i do remember fondly editing both ...for hours sometimes.

That's when gaming meant real gaming...not for lightweights.

thats kinda ironic...since i installed "Hot Wheels" for my brother on my Win 2K rig and it was more laggy than on my old WinME rig...

but great job RD!

There's a way to goose it for Win2K as well...

reddevilggg · « **Reply #23 on:** March 12, 2009, 05:04:25 AM »

Taking the final part of the A+ at the end of March (220-602). Even though I passed the first one O.K. I'm still getting the odd butterfly when I think about it.

Has anyone passed this. Are there any tips.

ANY information of ANY kind would be greatly appreciated. (I might even give you a 'Thank You')
