A+ 801 & 802 Certification Exams ExamFOCUS Study Notes & Review Questions 2013: Building your CompTIA IT exam readiness

Candidates for CompTIA A+ need to pass the A+ 801 exam and also the A+ 802 exam. The 801 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. Virtualization and mobile devices are also heavily covered. There is significant overlap between the two exams. It therefore makes sense to study for both exams together. 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.
