Taking A+ test soon...need advice!

nx1no

I plan on taking my A+ test within 2 weeks. I would like to take the 2006 exam as opposed to 2009, because I've been using CBTnuggets video to prep, and it's 2006 format.

Now, I currently work as a GeekSquad agent at a Best Buy. My hands on experience for the most part is all hardware. Diagnosing bad parts, installing new hardware, installing OS' here and there, etc. Looking over the objectives, after Essentials, I'm not sure which objective to take.

With that kind of basic retail repair experience, what would you suggest I go for? I was probably thinking 604 or 603. If you could please provide your thoughts and reasoning behind it, I'd greatly appreciate it. Thanks
