    First use more than 1,2 or even 3 different forms of study Guides. This way you can get different perspectives on content for A+. This site is 1. excellent guide. 2. get a good book or two READ READ READ! 3. Practice Tests the practice tests on this site are excellent. Also Transender, Preplogic are good as well.

    Hope this Helps icon_cool.gif
