Is the A+ computer based and the OS a written exam?
They are both computer based. All questions are multiple choice and you get 2 hours to complete each test. Also, be forewarned that a good number to the multiple choice questions are in the format of "select all that apply" - so they kind of differ from traditional multiple choice tests.
They also have kind of a neat deal where you can check a box labelled "review" on any questions you are unsure of. Then, after answering the final question, you have the option of returning to any questions you've flagged to re-assess them.

Good luck!
