I passed 901 yesterday! It is my first IT cert, I have very little experience in IT but I passed after studying hard for a few months. I used exam cram and Professor Messers videos that I would listen to on my commute. I am going to try to test for 902 two months from now using the same methods :) If anyone has any suggestions on other resources to use please post, thanks!

    You've already found what works for you. Stick to it. The first time I tested A+ many years ago, I used a Mike Meyers book to study. I ACED the tests. This time around, I need a CE cert (a couple of them) for my job. I used the Mike Meyers book (latest edition) but I also used Lynda Mike Meyers video training. I passed 901 this morning. I like Mike Meyers. It's what works for me. You say you used Exam cram and professor messer videos (on your commute) FANTASTIC. I couldn't do that, as professor messer would put me to sleep behind the wheel. (oooops!) HaHa...
    Something you need to be aware of is that the pass rate for each A+ exam is 20%...and it used to be a lot lower than that. In your post, you imply that you passed 220-901 on the first try, which is better than most people do. In other words, you have your study system working well for you, do not change a thing...

    Curious, do you have a source for this number?

    I passed 902 yesterday :) I used Exam Cram and Professor Messer with some apps to study on the fly. I listened to the videos while driving in my car, and listened to the again after I go the hang of things. Thanks everyone!
