I passed both of my A+ exams a couple of weeks ago with ease. Thank you for your videos, found them to be very helpful. I combined an A+ study guide with watching your videos and then used a test simulator for review. That seems to be a winning strategy for me and I plan on doing the same w/ studying for the net+ exam.

rachel

What simulator did you use and how much it cost. Do you have any A+ Exam Cram question and answer book.

This course includes the requirements from CompTIA’s A+ exam objectives, and I intentionally do not include topics that are outside of that scope.

Professor Messor is the greatest. I am attending ITT-Tech and one of my classes is Intro. to Personal Computers. Let me just say thank you professor. Without your videos, I would have gotten a bad grade on my exam, but thanks to you I was able to score a 84(B) on my test. Also thank you for taking the time out to web conference with me and walk me step by step on how to correctly deal with that buggy Windows2000 problem. You really have a gift of explaining things in simple terms.
