I'm studying for that now, but must argue with a few questions.

I am studying for the new A+ right now, but I have found that THEY have some questions incorrect, or my experience must be wrong.:upset: Naturally I trust my experience since it is what I have seen directly. I am using the Beach Front quizzer program (available free at WWW.BEACHFRONTDIRECT.COM). However, some of the questions I have a problem with. The biggest one is the floppy disk question. It says that you replace a dead A: drive and then try it with a disk in it. You punch in A: to get to it & it says "not ready", but not before the disk light comes on & goes out. Then it asks what is wrong. I say bad cable, bad disk, or bad drive. It says bad cable, bad disk, or dirty drive. I have replaced 8 drives on my computer (one system) and every one of them would do that. Also, while I was in college (associate's degree) we used the A+ guide for working on PCs and they DID bring up how the drive head could be turned or out of allignment (which would do that). It appears somebody doesn't know what they are talking about or the cert is standardized by someone who doesn't know what they are talking about, but nontheless it is still important to get.

He has a point.

I took it in June. Thought it was pretty easy. I finished it in 7 minutes.

It is fairly easy as long as you pay attention. If you read everything carefully, it don't take long at all, even to study. There are more study questions in my guide than there are questions on the test. However, :no: I still have a problem with the floppy disk question. I guess I will purposefully miss it since experience don't lie very often. Also, if there is an A+ guide with the info in it, that seems to confirm experience.
