Certification Tests (Computer)

[Cuog]

I definately agree that i dont like when people have certs only on theories based on how things are supposed to work, i only have hands on experience which has gotten me through plenty with technology. i also plan to take the A+ test some time this summer so that i can at least say yeah i know what im doing becuase i have built numerous computer and im certified instead of just yeah i've built computers b4

I am taking both A+ hardware and A+ PC operating systems in about a month, they should be a piece of cake, but they are a bit outdated, and I feel that my countless hours of tinkering with computers brought me more experience. some of the things the handbooks had me memorize are just plane obsolete, like the system requirements for Microsoft windows 3.1 and 95, as well as what each DOS version had. There were also like 3 chapters on what each port on a motherboard is, which I found kind of rudimentary... but as Fruity already said, they can make or break a resume/business card

I believe they are updating the test either later this year, or next year.

I bought an A+ book and a TCPIP book a week ago and am going to start reading this upcoming weekend....My cousin a TECH Guru, who helps ppl with comp problems at UTD, said that I could do decent on it, but i need to study a little. So I am going to quick read the book and then go indepth on the parts that I didnt fully understand and stuff...
