A+ certification is easy it only tests low level techee ability. However when you start going after things like MCSE 2000 you should start to get a bit nervous...
It always helps to work for a company that will pay for the exams.

GOOD IDEA, lets get another lame tech that hasnt a clue on how to fix computers, refer him to cramsession.com or some crap like that.
I hate people that have certs and dont know anything.
i once knew a guy that was MCSE certified, and didnt know how to use dos (in NT)(to ping another server...)
f@cken morons...
I dont have a single certification, though i know for a fact i could get my A+ at the drop of a hat. so what - i dont need a peice of paper to tell me that i know how to fix a computer.
everything i know about computers, i have taught myself, no training or otherwise.
I know more about Windows 2000 than 90% MCSE's out there, am i certified? nope.
hsould i? not really, the only I will see an increase in pay (the real reason people get certified is to get a better job) is to quit and work somewhere else.
I like my job, pay is ok, but the fact that i have free reign over $300,000 worth of compaq servers is awesome. the user ratio is about right (1:170)
certification isnt worth it, unless you hop from job to job to job everytime you get a new cert.
and then for those that take the cram, you are hopeless. you will be discovered, be ridiculed, and made to quit the company.
best piece of advice? get a job in a little techie shop, learn everything you can, and try to push the little company forward. keep learning, and keep pushing the envelope, and expand what the company does, most companies dont handle networking, or dont do on-site, and i realixe that alot of people that post here do, but i know there are alot that dont.
that will make you more money, and then go take the test, without cramming, and see how good you do.
if it isnt good enough, earn it by learning more, earn the cert.
that is much better than cheating yourself and your employer into thinking you are something you arent.
well i have to say that i have met ppl that had the a+ and have never seen a comuter that was slower then a 600 p3
i know more about computers then the teacher that i have at itt that is teach the quarter that deals w/ computer the main reason i ask is that i have the problem of doning a lot of guess ing on test or for getting it when i get ready for it so i want to see a few goog sites for testing so i can better my testing skills

I'm sure Kannibul meant no offense. It gets a little irritating to see people who are good at memorizing facts pass a certification that really have no idea what they are doing. I do not think anyone means to suggest you fit in that group.Quote:

I think the cram sights are okay to test one's knowledge right before they take the real exam. I would much rather take a free practice test to find out how much I know, than pay $100 for the real exam and then find out the exam was going into much more detail than I anticipated.

Nothing for nothing some employers want the certs, they won't even look at a resume with out any certs on it. I didn't need any at my present job, but I am going for Net+ and Mcse2000 because I want them and if in the future I decide to move on I want to be more marketable

These are the facts and they are undisputed
When I got my A+, I'd never seen a computer faster than a Pentium 200. https://forums.windrivers.com/Quote:
