Passed both A+ tests this weekend
I'm pretty new to the forum. Been reading for around two months, just started posting.
On Saturday I passed 701 & 702. This forum has been great for finding study resources. I used the following:
* Professor Messer's free vids
* Skillport CBT class through work
* Mike Meyer's Passport to A+, through Books24x7
* Transcender tests for determining readiness
I recommend everything except the Transcenders. I had used them a long time ago for Microsoft certs, and they've changed. The transcender tests were much, much harder than the actual A+. One thing they were good for was readying you for the convoluted questions you'll get, particularly on 702. But given their price, I can't recommend them, especially when I got several questions with grammatical errors, etc. Not worth it at all.
Anyway, thanks to everyone whose posts I've been secretly reading. You pointed me in the right direction!

What's next?
That's sort of the big question I guess. I'm not sure if I should go the route of getting all the comptia exams or just moving on to Microsoft or Cisco. I have some decent working experience, but am trying to move into something more challenging--essentially, I need to make the leap from tech to admin.
