Re: Taking the A+ exam...........
The test is not too difficult if you already have some computer repair experience. There is a lot of content to memorize. Go get yourself an A+ book and begin reading. Also recommend if you have a computer you're able to take apart to use that to get some hands-on experience. Use it to be able to identify components and… -
Re: MTA Certifications and Resources
Hi Jack, welcome aboard! I wish I could help you find decent MTA study materials, but sadly there isn't a ton of useful resources. In my experience MeasureUp practice exams have been a tremendous boon, and Wikipedia learning the core concepts. While Microsoft lists MTA as entry level, they are by no means easy unless you… -
Re: Looking to break into IT field - What certs?
All right well i will continue on with this path then, i already purchased the Comptia A+ Complete guide by Mike Meyers. Going through it, just got down with the processors chapter 5 it was all pretty easy up until this point. Do i really have to memorize the differences between the Intel Core and the Intel Core 2 down to… -
Re: Maybe 3rd Time lucky
ExamCram2 was a decent quick read. From the things I have heard, avoid AIO. It is old and misses several objectives. I bought it, but never read it. Don't take my word for it, just search these threads and read the reviews on Amazon. If you want ExamCram2 or AIO, I would be willing to give them to you, just PM me. I… -
Re: Advice for a soon to be Computer Information Systems graduate?
Out of my own curiosity, what College are you attending?? I'm looking for schools that have a CIS program and the colleges that I have been looking into only have Computer Science. :/ Just m 2 cents, I would say keep going with the College route and finish your degree, since you are already over the halfway hump and you… -
Re: CyberSec First Responder - CFR 210
Well, I got the official certificate 2 days back.I guess only online/PDF issued, no physical. About exam and cert, I feel It should've been little more polished to give a better feel. Not given any CompTIA cert, so can't compare. I didn't read specifically for this cert, as nothing was available- didn't want to spend $99… -
Re: HELP - I feel like my CIS/MIS degree is worthless
This is one of the reasons why a lot of IT students enrolled in 4 year schools end up putting their degrees on the back burner in favor of full time jobs that provide experience. When it comes to breaking into the IT experience is king. Your degree will be very valuable down the road once you've established yourself in the… -
Re: Struggling to stay motivated
I haven't checked the LPIC material yet, but usually people start with CompTIA Linux+, so why don't you give it a try ? I know that the Sybex book is easy to read for Linux+ and I think it's a good start. You don't really need to cram, just learn the commands, and practice practice practice. Forget about the exam now, just… -

Re: Certification for MIS graduate?
I definitely agree with ptilsen. MIS has a lot of avenues to travel. A lot of people go into the PM and consulting route when they do not want to be as technical since MIS can be focused on the business aspect of technology. If you do want to go for technology, it would be best to knock out a few comptia certs first since…
