in A+
Got my A+ 220-701 today. Going for the 702 next Monday, we'll see if I pass that one, that's the real challenge 
Anyways I word of advice to people studying for the A+: Don't trust the exam objectives they give you. It's BS. The breakdown of the A+ 220-701 which they tell you is 38% Hardware, 34% OS's, 15% Networking, and 13% Security.
I took the test today and it's more like: 30% Networking, 30% Hardware, 25% OS's and 15% Security.
Seriously. Do not underestimate the amount of network stuff on the exam. I was surprised too. My best advice is to study everything equally, because they throw some pretty obscure stuff in there

I took my test on Saturday and didn't have much networking stuff at all. Wish I did, since that's where a good amount of my experience lies.
I had a lot of hardware, a lot of OS. I guess for me their range was fairly accurate, actually. I think it's just luck of the draw.
