Considering The A+ Certification Exam
 By
Debbie Campbell
I know, I'm not an IT person.
But ever since I rebuilt my main PC a few months ago, I've been thinking about taking the A+ exam.
Not because I plan to branch out, but because I really love working with computers in more ways than just web development.
I'd like to quantify what I know, and I could, if I wanted to, expand my services if I had a certification.

Down the road....
I had a coupon from Barnes & Noble so I went there and pulled a copy of each of the A+ certification books off the shelf and sat there comparing them for an hour.
I finally picked the A+ Certification All in One Exam Guide from Mike Meyers, for a few reasons.
First, it wasn't just a study guide, it really looks and feels more like a reference book for all things IT techy.
Second, it has four tests for each real test (that's eight total for the two required to get the cert).
Third - it has nice pictures. I do better with good visuals… of course I can always open up my machine.
I really do need to get that front panel audio wiring issue resolved…
I plan to sign up for the test for about 10 weeks from now.
I took the practice one and got about 58% correct without opening the book, so I think this will be enough study time…
