Just wanted the confidence booster by by telling everyone that after 10+ working on computers (mostly for friends and family) I am A+ certified. I took about a week to study for each test.
Just a little background I graduated #1 student from a two year computer technology class that covered A+ and CCNA. I sat down to take the A+ in early 2007 but the testing software crashed and I never rescheduled. So after working in IT for a year when I was 18 (got fired for torrenting 

) I left IT and got my business degree while working (still working with computers for freinds/family) well last month I remebered how much I loved IT so I looked back and decided to return.
I also wanted to say I hated the simulations on the 802 (all 7 of them). The sims were too restricted and wouldn't let you check your work.
Next up Network+ then CCENT/CCNA
