a+ exam update, july 2003

i got wind that comptia will soon be setting a date for when questions based on the 2003 objectives of the a+ exam will appear from another website and decided to check with comptia for the official word.

this is the reply i received from tancy stanbery, 31 july 2003:

"CompTIA has not released a launch date for the upgraded A+ exams. We are working diligently at getting a launch date out this week for the 2001 linear exams with unscored items covering the 2003 objectives. We are looking at beginning to mid November for the upgraded A+ exams to launch. Nothing is official yet."

linear exams are not adaptive but traditional exam format.

when i get official notice from comptia i will post it in this thread.

After quite a bit of searching, I finally found comptia's offical date for the change. I'd heard about 5 different dates in november as the switch over date, but now I know for sure. According to http://www.comptia.org/certification/a/objectives_03.asp the switchover date is 11/26/2003.

im going to take the a+ exam soon, and was wondering if there are any reasons to wait to take the new test. like does it say on the certificate if you pass the old or the new test?
