I just passed the 220-601 (Essentials) exam... (|
One down, One to go...
HEE HEE HAA HAA HO HO ;D
I need a short brake....perhaps some vodka and crandberry juice will suffice
-
Omg I hope you pass! I dont think that will help. Isnt the second part hands on?
-

not to my knowledge..
as far as I know, it's an extended set of objectives relevant to the type of environment the Technician desires to work in......I'll be taking the 220-602
(90 questions) This exam is geared for Techs. who wish to work in large corporate environments, in a nut shell.
and uh, I don't plan on taking the second exam while under the influence :-X....when I said "brake" I meant a brake for a few days, then back to drilling for the second exam. I'll take it in a couple of weeks, next pay day!
-
ah hot dog! I hope ye all pass know youd hear. ;D Have to wait to take mine but I get a discount when the time comes.
-
thanks.... :)
good luck
-
I still have a while yet
-
when I said "brake" I meant a brake for a few days,
That's kinda hard on the car, isn't it?
Best of luck on part two! :)
-
can cause friction and all that.
-
heh, I meant the other "brake" :-\
Originally I had it spelled "break", but I didn't feel like looking it up in the dictionary
let's see, maybe someone could literally brake for a few days if they were high up on a mountain, and the roads were somewhat icy ;D,
but that wouldn't cause too much friction, would it
-

thanks, sir
-
oh yah, one of the things that I feared, happened while taking the test......about 50 questions into the exam, I had to take a sh** soooooo bad. :'(
it sucked.........had no choice but to persevere
word to the wise....don't eat too much before going in to take an exam!
-
Thats why I dont but its okay to have something small in the middle
-
do you play Final Fantasy 8? just asking because of your name... one of the main characters in FF8 is Squall
I'm into Final Fantasy 7 myself........when I get some extra cash I'm going to buy it and get a playstation just so I can play that particular game ;D
-
maybe...... ::) There is a good place you can get it for cheap. www.hitgaming.com
-
thanks for that link............say, how do you change your screen name around here. I don't see any icons or options to do it.. I want to change my name to Blockhead
(for obvious reasons)
-
I cant say, I just attempt to help when I can. I spend that much time on here, that site sells at reasonable prices.

I'm happy to report I sat today for the 220-601 and 220-602 exams and passed them both. So, now I'm a certified Comptia A+ IT Technician. I really believe my participation in this forum assisted me greatly, and thanks very much for allowing me to be a part of it. The knowledge available in this forum is like having a teacher beside you every time you log on.......so I know I'll continue to learn each day.
-
Congratulations, Karnac!
I know it's not an easy test!
(You didn't divine the answers by holding envelopes up to your head, did you?)
-
Thanks Aegis, it was a well rounded exam, covered a lot of theory I'll never use.

Sweet Karnac, I bet you feel quite a relief from reviewing and studying. :)
I'm pretty sick of studying and reviewing myself, I'd like to get into some programming and other fun stuff, for a change. I'm currently reviewing for the 602 exam, which I'll take in a couple of weeks when I get paid...If I pass then I'll be caught up with you
-
Relief is an understatement.... :P
If you haven't already seen these I highly recommend them .....

These videos helped immensely.........Good luck on your 602

My friend, The Video Game Pianist, is playing a very good medley of final fantasy music in this video. A must see ... link to video follows ;D

As a matter of fact, I'm about 2/3 of the way done with all of Professor Messer's Videos.. ;D .A couple of more days to go and I'll be done with them.....Although, I didn't discover them until after I took the 601 exam. I'm using them now to refine my knowledge. AS for the 602 exam, I'll be using CERTBlaster, for practice exams.
I'm pretty confident that I'll make it through the 602 and I'm excited because I downloaded Microsoft Visual C++ and I'm aching to get to learning some programming and other stuff like writing batch files, hacking (my own system of course), gaming, all the fun stuff. IT's time to have some fun with Computers for a change. OFF the subject, I'm switching to firefox because IE8 is a pain!

hey, he went to the high school I went to, that guy definitely has the skills LOL ;D
-
you cant make bat files? I'm about 1/3 of the way, also learn some linux and such. There is alot by just doing in self thruth.
-
I can't write batch files, either. Did some UNIX shell scripting a long time ago. Absolutely nothing wrong with admitting what you don't know, and it's getting more and more difficult to know everything about anything, anymore.
The A+ cert. will open some doors that even being the biggest autodidact won't budge.
(There's a word to give 'em something to think about... ;))
-
Whew Aegis.....I had to look that one up.....I thought it was a form of self abuse, then again, it might be.

-
Self abuse! ;D The way I go about things, it sometimes is! ;)
-
same here but you come to think at times.

I'm taking exam 602 this Monday...I feel pretty good about it...Only thing that sucks is that I have to drive 93 miles to take it :P
I purchased the Prometric exam and could not find any testing centers close to me with available appointments. I didn't have to drive that far for the first exam....oh well, no use complaining, I'm almost done......This will be it!
-
I think that I have to go just as far to take mine.

If you crack open a PSU which of the following will happen?
-

the PSU will explode! :)
-
Actually you risk electrical shock.....the psu contains capacitors which retain voltage and can seriously injure.
Never open a psu or a crt monitor.......but you knew all that. ;)
-
We all knew that! ;)
It bears repeating, and I've been known to repeat these warnings, myself.
-
No, no
the PSU will explode, and you will die ;D

It's a Power supply unit, not a armed warhead...
once your inside, cut the blue wire, that way it won't explode.

you can help me, what do you know about C64? ;D
-
you can help me, what do you know about C64? ;D
didn't know C64 was still very much alive. I thought N64 was more popular so C64 was forgotten LOL ;D
-
what N64 an C64 are todally differnt, a Commodore was suppose to have been like a subistute for all the bulk at the time.
-
you can help me, what do you know about C64? ;D
lol are you kidding? You're talking to what I call a "Vista generation", geek.. Although I primarily use Windows XP
I first became interested in computers around July 2007.....Since then I've been doing nothing but trying to learn the most common things...
When I get a better handle on everything I'll delve into retro stuff.. :D
-
Course I am, sort of. Thats terrible, thats good course skills vary I dont expect you to be able to do most of what I can. I'm not from that age so dont expect that I am like flower power or anything, course I was still close to it. ;D
-
I dont expect you to be able to do most of what I can.
How do you know what he can and can't do?
What is it that you do which he can't?
-
he just said that he dont know hardly anything of Commodore's. I got two working 486, A C64 an about 18 other machines under me that have linux or windows. Range from AMD to PENT 3,4 I have a Pent 2 but I dont reall use it at all only cause I didnt need it at the time. Know that I think about it maybe slap 95 on it an get it put together.
-
don't you have a thread about every single one of those machines, as well?
-
nope, I may have gave about a quarter of them.

thankyou thankyou (|
and yes you are right....a lot of weight!

the biggest issue is what you should do first not what you think to check.

Agreed .... always check the obvious first......
-
make the attempt that is. ;)
-
...but making the attempt is based on sound troubleshooting, and being able to think of actions to try.
-
exatly why we dont try the probable cause.

And the hits just keep on comin'.....
