Hi everyone, I'm taking my A+ certification exam next week. I've seen the review questions that we use in my class a million times, and I can answer them by just looking at the options for the answers without even reading the question. I need some new review questions. Can you guys think of some questions about computer problems, or any other questions that would help prepare me for the exam? I don't want actual questions from the exam from those who have taken it. Also, what do you guys think of the A+ certification? Is it worth it in your opinion? Thanks.

That's about it.

I prefer an uncertified but experienced engineer to a certified novice. It is worth it as much as it provides you with some experience and training.

A+ certification is great if you intend to work in a call center answering first-line technical support questions. If you want to develop computer games, not so much.

That makes sense. I know it won't really help with game development. I meant more along the lines of tech support.

Too bad the questions on the exam won't be as easy to answer as yours was [grin].

Thanks for the opinion and the comic. I'll have to show that to my class.

Fairly worthless, but it is a good stepping stone if you peruse the "fist full of certs" way of getting a job.

I believe A+ & N+ count towards an MSCE.

I would add that a certified novice will get a job easier than an non-certified novice.
