I also used them for my A+ and a bit for the Network+, I have the Exam Cram and the CompTIA Server+ cert book (big ugly spiralbound thing) that covers all the exam objectives. I plan on taking it after I finish my current cert which I am sitting this Friday. Many people say the Server+ is 1/3rd A+, 1/3rd Net+ and a little bit of Sec+ aswell, and the rest server architecture. I believe someone actually sat it without really studying at all, he claimed to simple utilise his A+ and N+ knowledge and passed. Many others say it is heavy on RAID, SCSI etc, but from what I can tell it does not look all that difficult. It naturally follows that after having completed the CompTIA tri-fector, the Server+ is next in line, and you might perhaps be well endowed with enough knowledge to just almost pass it without making too much extra effort. I would check the Server + resource page and forums on this site for more advice. SERVER+ Forums

Seriously wants the point. I guess if you hated certs and your company said you have to have this certification by this date or you lose your job, you might want to ****. But other than that extreme and highly unlikely scenario why would you do it?

The prep questions in the Exam Cram book are not far from the actual exam experience, and they provide indepth answers for each question. I would have to say that if you are getting around 90% with these questions, you are ready to take the exam. Lau's questions are a little thin and do not really simulate the exam experience, the Exam Cram book has a greater depth of questions. Also try the practise questions on the CompTIA website. Hope this helps Mate:)
