    Hi people

    I still just getting prepared to set out on my A+, and I've noticed a few places talking of the following:

    PC HARDWARE SUPPORT SYLLABUS 10
    PC HARDWARE SUPPORT SYLLABUS 9


    and

    OPERATING SYSTEMS SUPPORT SYLLABUS 10
    OPERATING SYSTEMS SUPPORT SYLLABUS 9


    I think I'm correct in saying that I have to do both the Hardware and Op system modules, but what is the difference between the 9 and 10 ? Do I have to do both? :rolleyes:

    Thanks for your help

    To gain the A+ certification you need to pass two exams, hardware and operating systems.

    As for the syllabus 9 & 10, I'm not sure wht that refers to.

    Have a look at these sites for more info on the objectives;

    Best of luck!

    The only thing that I can think it is refering to is the change of exam objectives, i.e from the old objectives to the new ones.

    Why it says syllabus 9 and 10 tho I have no idea. :rolleyes:

    Can you say where you've seen this information?

    Comptia certainly never refer to the exam changes as revision x.. Its always been A+ 2001 objectives etc..

    The exam codes are 220-301 and 220-302. Anything else ain't A+

    I've found this site that mentions syllabus numbers:
    http://training.freeskills.com/fulllist.html
    According to them syllabus 10 is actualy the 2003 requirements.
