I'd concentrate on Win9x and Win2k/XP in the current exam.

There may be 'DOS' stuff there, but mostly because the command/cmd window uses such commands.

looking at your mention of win 3.1 and 95 - i hope you have a book thats good for the current objectives?

 

I'll agree with Harry, I passed my OS exam last week which mainly focused on Win98, 2k & XP...

 

yeah i got 3 different sources, i was just asking opinions dude

 

Each exam is unique to some extent,so there are no real pointers to what you need to know.My A+ exams,both core and OS were very heavilly weighted with networking based questions,which I'd studied hard for and luckilly got the right result.There was no pointer to what I needed to know,but I made sure I had all the objectives covered.

 

From what i can recall, in my OS exam there were a few questions asking how to get to certain utilities and what happens if you right click so and so......
I would advise a good <mooch> around 98, 2000 and XP.

It's a shame really that Windows 3.11 isn't included - IMHO you would learn more about computers configuring Windows 3.11 than you ever will with plug and pray operating systems.

 

I would say make sure you're aware of the common features between the Oses but be aware of what things are done differently. As Boyce says, those "what happens if you click" questions come up and can be influenced by the OS you're using.

 

...and just to note if you are doing the OS exam, expect a couple of Core questions threw into the OS exam and vice-a-versa.

 

yeah i got a couple of o/s questions thrown in with my hardware exam!!!!

ps just clarify all windows apart from 3.1 can be upgraded to xp???

 

That depends on whether you're talking about XP Home or XP Pro.Look here for the upgrade paths...
