Does it matter if I take A+ or N+ frist?

I'm starting to study for the A+ and N+. I was thinking of taking the N+ 004 within the next month since it expires in August. Does it matter if I take the 004 or 005, and if I take that before the A+ exams? Also, what would you recommend studying to help with the exams? I have the Exam Cram for the A and looking at some Pro Messer videos. What about the N+? All feedback is grately appreciated. Thanks!

Well I can say that Having already gotten A+, its helped slighty(only slightly) when going over N+ material. Comptia Recommends A+ then N+ though. For study material though, if cost is no concern then hit up learnsmartsystems.com the library they have is really good, even if the section reviews are weaksauce.
When I studied for A+ i only used Transcenders Practice tests. Since they are harder than the normal exams theory is if you do good on them you'll do good on the real thing.

Thanks Paul. I'll probably do the A+ first then N+. Cost is a concern as I'm paying for this myself, so trying to do the cheapest, but most helpful way I can.
