Default New A+

so i got an email from CompTIA for the new tests for A+, it says no matter what i still hold my current certification but they introduced their new tests which consists of 3 exams...does this mean that future students will have to pass all 3 exams to obtain the full A+ cert?

I know that there is some guy working on the "A+ Fast Pass", which I don't think has come out yet. I'm looking now for online tutorials and books for the upcoming exams, and that's all I've found so far.

when I got mine (May last year) I really liked the preplogic books. Nicely laid out, in depth, and quizzes at the end of each section + practice tests on CD
