get my a+ certification

8 out of 24 chapters read with completion of review questions

Have read 4 chapters so far and completed review questions for 3 of them. Not very impressive, I guess, but it’s what I can do right now.

I passed the first exam. I wish I had done better, but I guess passing is what counts! There were things on the exam I hadn’t even heard of. They were probably in chapters that I only skimmed over. Now I just have to study for the second half.

1. Just completed a checklist (Ta-da Lists with Prism) for reading the chapters and completing the review questions.

2. Family “Wall of Fame” is to motivate my daughter to get good grades in 1st grade, but wife agreed to let me use it too with this goal so she knows Daddy is committed too.

It’s going to take resources I don’t have at the moment, but will when I come home on leave from Iraq. I’m still studying. This is just postponed.

I’ve been meaning to do this for years as a way to inch closer to my goal of enhancing my geekhood. I’m always happiest when I am stretched evenly across my own personal spectrum from hardcore tech to abstracted paint buckets.

so many jobs say, uhhhh, ya neeeed yur a+ certificationon, or, uhhhh, weee caaant hiiiire ya,

but it is a nessicary evil, i guess they need a base qualification, but i would think it shouldn’t cost

$300

what a crok

See become a computer technician

I’ve perused the book a little bit—I will probably cross-reference A+ Fundamental Principles – an Unofficial Wikipedia course to make the studies go a little easier.

I also will take a closer look at the CD-ROM that came with the textbook.

Studying for it right now. About halfway through the comprehensive study book. Been doing well on the review questions. Hopefully this is a good sign.

Now I just have to set a date and make sure I’m ready.
