Don't waste your time?

Unless you've got an in-principle job offer or promotion that requires you to get this bit of paper, leave it the hell alone.

What makes you say that? I hear it's good to have from a lot of people.

>>314120
good != worth

Are you dumb? A+ is entry level requirement for any basic IT job. You're really supposed to have that plus experience.

OP, I'm not going to tell you it's a simple test, it isn't. You're going to want to cram for a few weeks reading on CompTIAs books out there.
Make sure to note specifics like differences between RJ-45 and 8P8C.

Don't attempt the test until you feel very prepared. It's timed, very long, expensive, and theres two.

No, you're meant to have experience, not a make-work bit of paper that says you can, when presented with multiple choices, identify a PCIe connector 75% of the time.

I had no Idea there were 2 tests for it. Do you have any other advice?
What's the 2nd test like?

Pure fucking gold.

Gizza job, I know the True and Honest name for a network plug.

One is just hardware focused, the other is software focused.

Re-read what I posted.
A+ AND experience.

>>314143
No, I read it right the first time.

It's just experience. If you've got experience you don't need an A+, and if you don't you can't use one. You might as well be saying "A+ AND experience AND a pet giraffe".

OP should only waste his time ticking these boxes if he has a firm offer in writing that's contingent on them.

>>314146
And what I'm saying is that OP will never get a firm offer in writing for anything IT without having A+ and the experience.

Even fucking GeekSquad requires A+.

Yeah, I know that's what you keep saying, but you're full of shit.

I guess you're pretty invested in it, seeing as you obviously wasted the time and money on one.

>>314152
I don't even have my A+. I'm just able to understand basic fucking needs of an industry before I try and get into it.
Keep applying to jobs with your years of experience only to be dropped for someone with the same experience and an A+.

>>314153
>Everyone needs an A+ for every job
>I don't have an A+ but I do have a job
Which of these mutually-contradictory statements is it?

>has to argue semantics
lmao dude

You literally offered up yourself as a counterexample to your own thesis.
