This tutorial will help you prepare for the exams and pass them to become A+ certified.

Use the Free Resources Available

Learnthat.com and Exampractice.com are sister sites to MyTutorials.com and both offer free A+ certification resources. Both sites offer tutorials and free practice exams to help you prepare. Use these resources - you can study off the information on both sites and pass the exams.

Don't Assume You Already Know It

In real life, you will have resources available to you to research a problem. The Internet, Technet, and other knowledge bases will assist you along. CompTIA wants to test your body of knowledge, however, so they want you to know your stuff. Some of the topics on the test are more obscure than what you may normally deal with so you should study for the exam. For an experienced technician, the actual exams are fairly easy. There are some areas you may need to memorize things like memory addresses, startup files from older versions of Windows, or networking topics.

Relax Before the Exam

Get a lot of sleep and relax before the exam. Pick up a bagel  or a muffin in the morning so you aren't testing on an empty stomach.

Good luck!
