There have been no official announcements from CompTIA regarding the 2009 A+ exam requirements, but we’re all guessing that the expiration of the existing exam vouchers is a good reference point. In the past, there have been transition periods where you could continue to take the older exam at the same time as the new exam. We’ll have to wait and see what happens.

For someone who is about ready to take their CompTIA A+ (as of mid-July 2009) would it be advisable to wait for the new 70x exams before purchasing exam vouchers? Any guess as to how long it might be before the new exams are offered?

We’ve not heard any official word from CompTIA on when their new exam will be out of draft mode, but even when they announce the switch there will probably be some time where both exams are available. At the moment, you should concentrate on the test requirements for the 220-60x exams, and you won’t be expected to know any of the new material from the unreleased 70x exams.

i just want to know if when this Comptia A+ 20009 (220-710 and 220-702 exams) will be final,coz i have exam on next monday june 15,2009 to take the 601 exam,do i need to study some of this draft that they want to add now?

thank for all the comptia A+ videos that you just shared to us,it helps me so much..

CompTIA has not made any official announcements about the 2009 edition of the CompTIA A+ exam, but they’ve posted draft exam requirements for new 220-701 and 220-702 exams. Unless they plan on posting additional requirements, it looks like the next edition of the A+ certification will consist of only two exams. If you’re planning to take the 220-603 and 220-604 exams, I would expect that you still have a few months before the 600-series exams are discontinued.

What is going on with the 220-603 & 220-604? Are they still going to be part of the A+ exams or are they being dropped?

I was planning to take the 220-603 for extra “star power”.

Thank you for your site and guidance.

Best wishes
