Ok, TheShadow. Busted completly for rounding numbers. Beginning in Sept 2006, the new A+ progam rolls out. The Essentials test will be a combo of the Existing program, 1 test at $245. The candiate will NOT be A+ certified until they take a 2nd test @ $245. This will be IT Pro OR 2 other tests, @ $245 each. So I lied. It will be $245 x 2, so $490, not $500.

Does that apply to the 2003 exam as well?

The price will not apply to 2003 exam...but by the time the price of 2006 exam goes up, you wont be able to take 2003 exams anymore as stated here:

Well that's a good thing then, because I pretty much have to pass the 2003 exam. I'm not about to go back and relearn everything because they added more material. The way I see it, this is just an entry level certification that everyone who wants a job in the IT busisness kinda needs anyways, but at the same time, it's really up to your goals in life as is. But I'm hardcore studying and I plan on taking this test on Halloween day so that after I pass and I go to my halloween party not dressed up, if anyone asks what I am for halloween, i can tell them I'm the dell guy and show them my passing score. Alot of my friends and family know how much it means to me that I pass this test, so I am not allowing failure to become an option on this one.
