The A+ exam certification is based off two exams (hardware and software). Read at the CompTIA website to gain the

basic overview of what will be tested.

Begin studying for the exam by purchasing a A+ study guide. This will give a fairly accurate layout of what you will be tested on and "common questions" that

will be asked.

Take an online practice exam to gauge your comprehension. If you are at 70% or lower (after taking 3 rounds of them), i would recommend following steps 4 and

5. If you are above, go ahead an take the test. You should pass the exam without any problems

Purchase a "brain dump". These are designed to be almost completely accurate to the real exam. After reading through and studying the material, take another

round of practice exams. If you are above 70% pass, i would take the real A+ certification right away.

Last option is to go to a "technical training boot-camp" that offers A+ certification. These boot-camps cost quite a bit but they almost guarantee passing

the ...
... exam. I would leave this as the absolute last option.
Tips & Warnings
Make sure to have consistent time to study. Make it a habit to study the material..The night before the exam, make sure you get plenty of rest and dont do a

late night "cram" session.Brain dumps are highly frowned upon in the industry. If you do pass while using a brain dump, do not share it with anyone..
