Prepping for A+

Mauryfrench

Hello all! I have been in various computer positions over the years; probably longer than many of you have even been alive. I have decided to add some certifications to my resume so I can get back into the fun work.

I am currently taking an online course via Pluralsight (get it free from work) and want to get a good book to go with it. I am wondering just how long the 220-801 and 220-802 exams have been around, and are they the same exams from 2012?

I am looking at this right now, thoughts?

Hello. Yes they are the same exams from 2012. I believe they will be changing (updating) Fall of this year. While i'm only using Professor Messer A+ videos and exam compass before sitting the exam, if i were to buy a book for the A+ exam it would most certainly be this:

CompTIA A+ Certification All-in-One Exam Guide, 8th Edition (Exams 220-801 & 220-802): Michael Meyers: 9780071795128: Amazon.com: Books

Michael Meyers All in One book has over 400 reviews at almost 5 stars..I think it would be very hard to go wrong here.
