The new CompTIA A+ exams are out. I have a list of what is going to be on the test, but it's hard to find web sites pertaining to the new objectives. Almost all of the sites have Windows 95 questions that are not on the test and very few of the sites I've been to that say they have the new objectives covered, do not have Windows 2000 questions. Where can I go to practice the new objectives?

There are not to many updated sites to get the new ojectives ref. the following sites
http://www.comptia.com
http://www.examnotes.com
http://www.vista-net.com
Their also was an article on the new ojectives that was posted by TechRepublic in Dec2000 that gave good info to refernce sites,it was also an article in Feb2001

www.comptia.com just has the objectives, which I already have.
www.examnotes.com has the old objectives. www.vista-net.com is the one site mentioned that has some of the questions that I am looking for. I am new to techrepublic, so I didn't see the Dec2000 article.

Your right not many places out there yet, but you can try:

they won't have the new guides out till april 15, but if they are anything like the ones for MCSE win2k they will be the exact questions (word for word) of the ones on the exams with the answers, I dont know how or why they know they just do. Now this is not a replacement for knowing the material but it helps you to pass the test. It sure helped me .I also took the liberty of checking some braindumps http://www.mcsebraindumps.com and even though they are dumps aimed at the old test there are people posting dumps for the new test you just need to surf thru the postings.

Guidelines have been out since Jan 15. MCSE questions will just get me frustrated(they have). The objectives for the test are of the simple kind like what does NTLDR, RUN CMD, and REGEDIT to find out if we have the basics down. That's why this is a test for an entry level job.

I have been there also, paid the $5.95, and taken two of the tests. Two of the answers that they had were wrong and it is very hard to grade a 100 question test and learn something from it. The site is better than the usual 'download then take thetest' sites that I have tried.

I've been searching for a month for the new objectives tests. Transcender will have a new test out in late May or early June. I saw one site that fit the bill but I can't remember. I am going to raise the points offered because of my bullheadednessto find a site that works.
