Just wanted to say that this forum has helped me research for what materials to use to study and it resulted in me passing my 801 test this morning. I wanted to contribute back and pay it forward.
Study materials I used to pass and that I recommend:
EXAMCRAM Book by DAVID L. PROWSE - I used their exam cram sheet that is included with the book. I did not read the book but if you want to take the time you can and it should help you further understand the material.
Professor Messor A+ Videos on youtube. (free) I watched all of his videos.
Practice Tests:
Examcompass.com (I took all 10 of their 801 A+ Practice tests and made sure I was getting 90% on each one)
Examcram Practice tests that come with the book
Field Experience / Work Experience I have:
2 years as computer technician
1 year field/network engineer
Tips for the test:
The key to these tests are to make sure you:
1) Skim the answers
2) Read the question
3) Read the answers again in detail
4) Read the question again in detail
5) Select your answer
The questions will have KEY words and if you miss that KEY word you will select the wrong answer.
Good luck everyone. Anyone can pass this test if you understand how the test asks the questions and if you studied the material + took practice tests.
