So I am taking the Comptia A+ (801 and 802) certifications next Tuesday.
Any one on /g/ take these exams?
How hard are they?
And does anyone of some good resources to review before I take the test?

I just took the A+ 801 a few months ago, and the 802 two weeks ago.
Look up the A+ Exam cram practice tests and take them. The examcompass tests are also pretty good.

unfortunately the exam Cram tests cost Dosh
Guess the examcompass tests will have to do.
I took the A+ a couple of years ago. It's not that difficult. I used Michael Meyer's All-In-One Exam Guide.

I found it for free in the top 10 results for
"A+ 220-801 exam cram pdf"
Try harder
What jobs can you get with A+ cert?

Doesn't the A+ expire soon? Would taking it now be a waste of time?
I just took the 801 test last week.
Learn your ports, cables, lengths, and speeds.
If you can remember that hen you're set.

best buy geek squad requires A+ cert
not much though because employers expect you to have done something with that cert as well

>lengths
As in maximum length?
Also printers fuck printers

No. However, to be A+ certified you must pass 2 tests. The 801 and 802 tests are being retired, so if you have only taken one of them by june 30 you will have to retake the newer ones (901 and 902).

Which is a pain in the ass because shit costs $200 per test

Not hard if you take a little time to study for them, or just have a pretty good knowledge of computers to begin with. Review Professor Messor's videos and take practice exams, then you'll be set. Good luck.

>how hard are they?
If you have job experience in tech then it shouldn't be too hard (I mean real job experience, like full time work not the odd support for friends/family)
I thought the 801 was fairly easy. I had to take the 802 twice. First time I missed it by 20 points. Needed 700/900 to pass I got 680.
Did you just schedule them without studying or taking any practice tests? If so that's pretty dumb.
Everyone says the test is really easy. I think the content isn't hard to learn but CompTIA asks questions in a really convoluted way. I also think it's easy in retrospect. Like after I got the CCNA the A+ and N+ seemed super easy. Sec+ wasn't as hard for me as other people.
Just make sure you take you take your time and actually learn lol.
