Where to take A+ Certification Exam?

[keplenk]

Hi all,

*I don't know where to post my concern. I'm sorry if this is not the right forum section. Please move the thread if mistaken.

I'm planning to take the A+ certification exam ASAP. I currently live at NJ (Northern area) but I'm very close to NYC.

I have no idea on where to start to take the exam. Are there actual TESTING CENTERS, like for example schools or any education establishments to go to? Can / Should I take it online? If there is an online test, is it better, cheaper, or easier? What do you suggest?

If there are testing centers, where are these centers located? NYC or NJ (North). I would appreciate it if you would give specific locations or links.

How much does the test cost?

Thank you so much.

*Sorry for my poor English.

You need to be checking all this out on the Comptia web site.

http://www.comptia.org/


If you have been studing from one of the many A+ books it should have told you at the beguining where to find all of this information. You'll have to purchase your vouchers from Comptia. They will also give you a listing of the availible testing centers in your area. Generally the testing centers are at the local comunity collage or univercity. Everything you need to know is at the site.

Here is a more dirrect link for you.

Thanks for the Reply. I haven't read any books because I'm just using a simulator test. Unfortunately, I did not encounter that information (or maybe not yet). I'll be checking that website.

Thank you very much.

There are 2 tests you have to take. One is the Essetials and the other is one of 3 more specific tests. Each will cost you about $222. Witht eh purchase of the voucher you get a sudent manuel to help you study for the exam. The voucher is only valid for a month or 2 so you'll want to register for the test ASAP and get it out of the way.

Great info! I'll be reading over the website. The only one that puzzles me now is the 3 specific test? What are those 3? Thanks again!

EDIT:

Are those the:

1) 220-602

2) 220-603

3) 220-604

?

I just need to pick one of these?
