in A+
Im getting ready to complete my CCNA and I am thinking about the A+ sometime in my future. I scanned the first few pages of posts and didnt find the answers to my questions, so I figured I would just ask.

In comparison to the CCNA, how difficult is the A+ exam?

In comparison to the CCNA, what is the approximate study time for the A+?

In comparison to the CCNA, how much information is covered?

How many parts does the A+ exam have? If more then one, can you take them together and separate? What general topics do they cover?

Do you have any general advice for taking the A+?

    In comparison to the CCNA it is easy.
    It took me about a week to study for the A+. I just ran over all of the facts that you need to know like max cable length, max speeds, addresses, etc.
    There are 2 tests for the A+, one Hardware and one OS.
    You must take them as seperate tests, but you can just take them back to back if you wish.
    The objectives can be found here:

    Also check out the technotes on this site, they are awesome ( great job Johan! ) and the pratice tests. You can also check out www.mcmcse.com thet are good too.

    I like studying from books when possible. Can anyone recommend books on the A+?

    Thankfully, Mike Myers and his crew make his books very easy to understand, without all the jargon that confuses most people. I was a total newbie to this a few years ago, who thought he knew it all......I read that book, learned a lot more than I knew, and it was understandable to the point where I did not quit, generally a good thing for those who have difficulty concentrating on one thing for a while.......
