CompTIA A+ & MCTS Windows 7 Configuration Certification Exams ExamFOCUS Study Notes & Review Questions 2012

Candidates for CompTIA A+ need to pass the A+ Essentials exam and also the A+ Practical Application exam. The Essentials exam tests for technical understanding of computer technology, networking and security. It also tests for communication skills and professionalism required of entry-level IT professionals. The Practical Application exam carries highly similar topics. In fact we think it is better off to study both together due to the difficulties in separating them. There is significant overlap between A+ Essentials and A+ Practical Application. It therefore makes sense to study for both exams together. After passing the A+ exams, the next logical move would be to earn an OS specific certification. By passing the MS Exam 70-680: TS: Windows 7, Configuring, you complete the requirements for becoming a Microsoft Certified Technology Specialist MCTS. In fact the exam also counts towards the MCITP Enterprise Administrator certification. Topics covered include: - Installing, Upgrading, and Migrating to Windows 7 - Deploying Windows 7 - Configuring Hardware and Applications - Configuring Network Connectivity - Configuring Access to Resources - Configuring Mobile Computing - Monitoring and Maintaining Systems that Run Windows 7 - Configuring Backup and Recovery Options We give you knowledge information relevant to the exam specifications. To be able to succeed in the real exam, you’ll need to apply your earned knowledge to the question scenarios. Many of the exam questions are written to be less straight forward. They tend to be framed within the context of short scenarios. The exams are not too difficult. However, coverage is very comprehensive – a wide range of topics are presented in the official topic lists. The exams do not ask you to answer hundreds of questions. In other words, only a small fraction of the official topics will be presented. This ExamFOCUS book focuses on the more difficult topics that will likely make a difference in exam results. The book is NOT intended to guide you through every single official topic. You should therefore use this book together with other reference books for the best possible preparation outcome.
