Hi All

I am about to start to studying for the A+ but I have heard there is a new A+ 2009 exam? Is this right? Can anyone tell me what book I should look to buy, ive heard Michael Myers is a complete book? Has anyone done this with a good company or is self study the way to go?

Many Thanks

The Myers book is the best book for the A+ exam. The 2009 revision probably won't be released for at least several months, and usually CompTIA continues to make the "old" exam available for a short period of time, so if you start studying for the current exams, you should have time to complete them. Good luck!

 

Any books that will apply to the 2009 exams have likely not been written yet. As BJ says, you're safe to study for the current exams using the available materials on the market. The Meyers AiO is considered *the* study guide for the A+.

 

Tripwire is too modest to mention his own book which I found complimented the Meyers AIO guide very well. It's an excerise book which will help you learn how to install hardware and tweak windows which you will need to know for the A+ and as a tech. Here's a link for it http://www.amazon.co.uk/PC-Technician-Street-Smarts-CompTIA/dp/0470084588

 

Actually, I posted a link to it in another A+ thread. But not before Harry made the initial mention of the book.

 

More mentions = more sales = more moolah then my commission

 

Hi, You mention that there will be a new 2009 exam, im curently studying for my exams and not going to be ready for at least 3 months.
Do you know when the exact date of the new exam will be. you say this could be several months, ifs it 3 -5 months i will be panicking but if its late next year it shuld be ok.

 

Cheers, i didnt see the link to click

So its june/july. That will give me enough time to cmplete both exams.

my aim is to complete the a+ within 3/4 months then start my N+ college course in time for september


Does anyone knoe where i can look for updates, (links,etc) on the time frame on this change over, cheers
