Old or new test?
This is my first time posting on these forums. Great site.
I have spent a lot of time reading others posts and looking at the many notes that can be found on this site.
I am working as a PC tech/Network guy for a medical school in the Caribbean. I am leaving the job in a few weeks to move back to the US. I want to get a cert under my belt before I start sending out resumes.
I have studied a little for the A+ off and on. This weekend I am really cramming for the tests. I have plans on taking both this week on the same day
My question is this...should I take the old test or go ahead and do the new tests? I have only studied for the older test. I have noticed that you don't need as high a score with the new tests. I have over 4 years in the field but feel I will struggle with the tests because of questions like "Where do you find such and such setting in windows NT?" I am a good trouble shooter in the real world and have seen a lot but the tests focus on things that I never use...or so it seems.
any thoughts?
Thanks...
