in A+
In about 7 hours, I think I will be certified. Ive been taking a bunch of practice tests, and getting pretty comfy with everything.
Im confident I shall pass. This should be interesting!

Congratulations!
The site thanks goes to "Webmaster" (despite his attempts to deny it)...without him...there would be no 'us'

Download the objectives from Comptia, this is where you should begin your studies. After that, a book or two from Mike Meyers or Sybex are strongly recommended.
As far as 'wanting to pass with a good grade'. These exams aren't graded like school work, they are rated on a point system of 100-900 points you need to be above the minimum passing score depending on the exam you take it varies. A pass is a pass. Someone barely squeaking by isn't less qualified then someone who may have memorized a bunch of practice questions and scored very high. Real experience will benefit you more then anything else, so get busy and practice and go over the objectives.Plantwiz

Um, I appreciate it. I bought a few books from B&N today. 1) Exam Crm 2 A+, and Q's & A's, which has about 800 Questions and answers. I thought that would be a good book, and it has fairly good questions in there.
So ill take your advice an hit the books, and im looking to pass the test as well. Its kinda nerve racking cus i hate the test taking atmosphere, but the test is only like 80/90 questions, and ihave a book that has 800/ and im pretty sure if i take notes as well from the comp TIA site ill probably end up with that many as well.
BUt im going to get to it, and i look forward to letting everyone know that i passed, cus i love to see that this site has so many people on here who are going for the same thing.
And i'd have to say this is a very good site and im glad i found it, and thats for the comments from everyone.....
