SPRING 2012 Information

Class Information

  • The A+ certification still consists of two tests.  The current tests are the 701 Essentials test and the 702 Technician test.
  • CIT 110 covers the the 701 test and CIT 111 covers the 702 test.
  • The required "textbook" for my Spring classes is an access key for LabSim.  You can purchase this key from the bookstore, or directly from LabSim (Information is on the Text Books page). 
  • Each class has a recommended book for additional information. That book is not required. The recommended book for A+ is the same for both CIT 110 and CIT 111.

Test Taking Tips

Slow down and carefully read the question. If you don’t understand it, reread it.

Certification exams are written with the assistance of dozens of Subject Matter Experts. Do not expect to find clues in a consistent writing style for every question.

The “BEST” choice is always the right choice.

Give the question a shot before giving up and moving on. If you’re still unsure, return to it for a fresh look later.

Do not read more into the question than what is stated.
