Newbie getting started

Ichigo

I decided to start with the A+, Because I think that basically where everybody started with. I would like to know what books are recommended and what Topic Area should I focus on. I have a OK general knowledge but I heard alot people saying the 06 is much harder to pass and that I should have taken it before June 30 is it Harder then the 03 ???

Difficulty is relative, so don't sweat that.

Sybex and Meyers have good materials on this.
