Hardware or OS ...Tis the question.

in A+
Hi guys! I wonder which is the best way to take the A+ exam. Should I take the hardware exam first, since I have a lot of hands on experience building and repairing computers, or should I take the OS exam first, or should I take both at the same time?

i felt like i had a fair share of experience in building and upgrading computers and decided to take my core first, so i could study of the o/s separately.
i have no idea if it worked better that way, but i passed both exams first time. -

I took them both on the same day - Hardware first then OS with a two hour break in between. I felt I had to work harder for the OS portion - but that was mostly because I had a hard time finding a copy of Windows 3.1 (I took mine a while ago

From what I hear from some of my classmates is to take the hardware side first they say it's easier and if you fail you know you need to study more and your only out of money for one voucher. I'm taking mine on friday!! Wish me luck!yikes!!!

Sounds logical to me. Although failing the Core does not mean you will fail OS as well...
Good luck!
