CompTIA A+ & MCITP Enterprise Desktop Support Technician (Windows 7) Certification Exams ExamFOCUS Study Notes & Review Questions 2012: Cover both A+ exams and the 70-685 exam.

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 70-685 Windows 7 Enterprise Desktop Support Technician exam, you complete part of the requirement for earning the Microsoft Certified IT Professional (MCITP): Enterprise Desktop Support Technician 7 certification, which covers these topics: - Identifying Cause of and Resolving Desktop Application Issues - Identifying Cause of and Resolving Networking Issues - Managing and Maintaining Systems That Run Windows 7 Client - Supporting Mobile Users - Identifying Cause of and Resolving Security Issues We give you knowledge information relevant to the exam specifications. To be able to succeed in the real exams, 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.
