passed 701 today, taking 702 Friday
Today I passed the A+ Essentials (701) with an 860 out of 900. I'm a little surprised...did better than I thought I would. I have the 702 scheduled for Friday morning. Not sure if A+ is worth having, but it certainly can't hurt! I hope this gets me some hits on the job websites when I start looking in March/April.

Just passed 220-701
Just passed the essentials with an 825. I was kind of nervous since I took the 601 last November and failed (went in cocky and barely studied). Then read through the Comptia 601 study guide and the 701-02 Exam Cram and actually learned a few things along the way. Imagine that! Onward to the 702!

Landed 220-701 and 220-702 with scores of 842/900 and 797/900 respecively. A large chunk of all the material I learned never even made it into the exams. Next plan: Network+ and MCP together :)

After originally studying for the 2006 exams years ago but getting side tracked, I passed both the 701/702 with 840/850. It was a lot easier than I expected and I DEFINITELY didn't overstudy. I was so scared going in but once I saw that score I was ecstatic. Of course the machine froze on me for the 702 and I was waiting…

A+ down, Security+ next
I got 856/823. Not too bad, but I probably overkilled with studying, I could have taken it much earlier.

I was heavily tested on wireless networks in 701 and…

I know it's nothing to brag about, but it still feels good.

For those just starting out I studied with Mike Meyers' "CompTIA A+ Certification All-in-One Exam Guide,…

just go take it
I just passed and my advice is that if you think you are anywhere close to well prepared, just go take the test. You're gonna pass. The hardest part of the test is dealing with poorly written questions.
