Title: Going to take A+ soon
Post by: reddevilggg on December 03, 2008, 02:52:18 PM: 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.

Post by: reddevilggg on December 04, 2008, 03:39:32 AM: 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

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

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

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

"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)
Title: Re: Going to take A+ soon
Post by: patio on February 21, 2009, 02:21:09 PM: Both system and win.ini existed for win versions from 3.1 thru WinME...

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

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!

Post by: reddevilggg 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')
