I'l be needing one, so if you could point me in the right direction I would [B]really[/B] appreaciate it. Posted by: Lord AnthraX ok? Nevermind... Posted by: KBlair I'm not sure where I got [url=http://failboy.dmclub.org/stuff/aplusstudy.pdf]this[/url] but it's pretty good study material. Posted by: swishchix that study material was from cramsession.com. i got that too for free, they have different study guides from their website: [url]http://www.cramsession.com/certifications/products/list-study-guides.asp.[/url] the only thing though, they are only study guides it's better if you have more resources like books and also some hands on. you can also try to buy these good books: CompTIA A+ Complete Study Guide, Deluxe Edition - [url]http://www.bookpool.com/sm/047004831X[/url] Mike Meyers' A+ Certification Passport, 2nd Edition - [url]http://www.bookpool.com/sm/0072229144[/url] bookpool.com usually have cheap books. i usually order from them. goodluck and enjoy reading! Posted by: COCOCOOKIE I would buy this one at amazon: [url]www.amazon.com/CompTIA-%2B-Complete-Study-Guide/dp/0470048301/sr=1-5/qid=1162263400/ref=sr_1_5/102-3147535-0803336?ie=UTF8&s=books&s9r=8afd079f0dabdb67010dac8261810004[/url] It was released this month covering the new exams update for 2006. I have the previous edition and it's pretty good. But I'm studying with this one: [url]www.amazon.com/Certification-All-One-Exam-Guide/dp/0072229918/sr=1-1/qid=1162263400/ref=pd_bbs_1/102-3147535-0803336?ie=UTF8&s=books[/url] It's very complete, not only for the A+ exams but for your job as a PC Tech...and it's quite fun to read...that makes it easier when you don't feel like studying. Hope that helps. Good Luck! Posted by: COCOCOOKIE I think I'm gonna have to buy the first one anytime soon. Or you could buy the official one from Comptia from their website, it's more expensive but I guess it should cover all the objectives,right? Who knows...???? Here's the link: [url]https://store.comptia.org/shelf.aspx?shelf=21[/url] Posted by: MrCoffee when I was studying for the A+ exams I used a lot of different materials including M Myers A+ passport A+ in depth (Jean Anderws PhD) E Leaning Center CBT About a dozen practice tests from all over the place now heres the moral of the story: the A+ tests are REALLY easy so you dont need all that stuff, I studied for about 2 months for the hardware test using all the above and got 96% and thought the exam was easy so I spent 4 days cramming for the OS test (just using the E Learning Center CBT) and that was all the study I did and I got 92% on the test. Now, Microsoft tests are somewhat harder and i'd recommend a minimum of 4 weeks hard study with 2 sources e.g. CBT and Book for each test and pleant of practice questions.

[/B][/QUOTE] Careful what you buy at the moment, the test objectives have just changed so unless you plan on taking the exams before the end of the year you need ensure you are buying material for the 2006 objectives and not the 2003 and with it being a recent change there may not be that many around. A lot of the 2003 stuff will still be relevent for the 2006 of course.
