Network+

Hello. I have a few questions about the Network+ exam and I was wondering if anyone could help me out. First of all, is it worth it to take the 2001-revised exam (N10-002) now or wait until the 2005-revised version is released? And secondly, what would you recommend as far as study guides and practice exams are concerned in preparation for the Network+ exam? Cheaper would be better. 🙂
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
