Review the objectives found on CompTIA's website.
3 years experience should be enough but it really depends what you did and encountered during those three years.
Do you have enough time to prepare? I'd think 4 months should be adequate, but I cannot say for certain how well you know the material already nor how quickly you can read and learn in the areas you need more practice.
Plan about 2 hours a night for a few weeks and see how you do with the
practice exams here:

What study materials are you using?

'i' before 'e' except after 'c'.... weird?
That said, I passed. I would recommend Mike Meyer's books - I used the Passport one. I'd also suggest spending some time ripping PCs apart and putting them back together - perhaps even better if you can get a box of old bits to play with.
I've given myself 2 1/2 months to prepare for the Linux plus - if you have a fair base of PC knowledge, January should be enough time.
Buena suerte!
