I am currently studying to become certified for A+ which is a freebie thrown in as part of my MCSE, is anyone else in a similar boat? I am looking for people to discuss some of this stuff with, maybe help each other out, as part of my course I need to pass mock exams over 90% and am finding it pretty tough! Thanks

Thats fairly steep for the A+ (pass is (or was when i did it in Jan) only about 70% at most,

I went on and got the MCSA, but unfortunatly my workhas stopped me from getting the other exams,...although i am in the middle of brushing up for the CCNA.

Feel free to talk to me if you want,

90% on practice exams is what we use to help gauge a students preparedness to test also. of course you need to have diff exams so that you are not memorizing answers.
on A+, i know many dont want to "dirty" themselves with the actual hardware, but if you understand the hows and whys of computers themselves, you have built an excellent foundation for the rest of your studies.

The A+ is very important. You should also get networking plus. In studying for your MCSE you should get a firm grip on TCP/IP. Networking plus will give you a frim grip on this very important protocol. A+ will also give you a very good overview of legacy technology.
