Try to focus on:

*Basic Networking Concepts (Topologies,Wireless, Ethernet, Internet Connectivity and etc)
*Installing Devices (Floppy, Hard Drive, CD-rom, RAM,Ide Cables and etc)
*Upgrading PC's
*Troubleshooting
*Distinguish between popular CPU types, Motherboard components and SCSI devices.
*Printers and Printer problems
*IRQ's, DMA's, I/O addresses

There are obviousley more objectives but that's the kind of concepts i got hit with on the exam.

First, check the Objectives . Make sure you can answer one question on each objective, even if it's a question you make up. Second, get some good study material. I used Mike Myers AIO guide, which I liked. I also used this sites FREE Technotes . I would reccomend using a second source for studies, to cover any overlaps. Thirdly, and maybe most importantly....STAY AWAY FROM BRAINDUMPS!!! Check here , for a good article explaining ****.

Remember, it's not impossible, if you want it.

Stick with knowing the objectives and look for exam advisory/tips in the books you are reading. Most importantly----> the night before, shut the book up early in the evening, do something fun and get a good night's sleep.

Oh yeah----> Good Luck !!!
