When studying for a cert how many individual resources do you use?

Got some devastating news today, my boss is making me get A+ certified.. and I brought the whole thing on myself by asking if the company could fund some Ciso training..why hes come back with Comptia A+ is a mystery.

He’s given me access to CBT Nuggets (which I will not be using). I have the Exam Cram book and Udemy Mike Meyers videos which I will top off with professor messer and ITProTV videos.. hes given me till December to get the 901 done as I said I dont want to sit both at the same time and gave reasons which he understood. He’s made out if I dont do it then its not a big deal but with December being around probation review time I know this will go against me.

My question is.. am I using to many resources? How many do you guys usually use per cert?

I usually just use the recommend book and one other book.

 

Ah well, best brush up on your SCSI adapters

 

it's not like using too many would harm your chances...

You have some experience, you should fly through it. Not done A+ but Meyers book for N+ was one of the best/easiest to read and learn from. Yeah there's a bit of stuff to remember but really not that much. Done N+ with the book only and didn't feel I need anything else.

go through one resource, find some practice exam and see how you feel.

 

The Mike Meyers all in one and some practice exams were enough for me to pass a few years back. A book supplemented by videos and possibly practice exams should get you through. Ideally get some hands on with hardware too. It really helps solidify things. I passed the A+ without ever really touching a PC, but in hindsight it would have made it much easier.

 

this looks like a dump site to me...? I could be wrong but it says "real exam questions" so alarm bells are ringing. Can honestly say I'd rather fail than use dumps I advise you not to use them either, if you get a job based on a cert you have taken and you've cheated, you boss will expect you to have a certain level of knowledge, so when he tells you to go to the server room and configure X, you wont have a clue what you are doing, thus you lose your job.
