Final Preparations

As you approach the "big day," I recommend you reinforce your knowledge with the Study Lab located on this book's CD. The Study Lab is designed to help you concentrate on the most critical issues on the A+ Certification Exams.

• Use the Key Terms located on this book's CD to familiarize yourself with the terms and concepts covered in each chapter.

• Use the Practice Test to sharpen your troubleshooting and problem-solving abilities .

• Take a Practice Test using the CD-based test engine.

• Spend more time on the chapters in which you're weakest, but don't neglect any chapter. Use the "Absolute Minimum" section at the end of each chapter for a quick review of the chapter's contents.

Remember, you won't have this book or any other reference with you when you take the test. You don't need to get every question right, but careful, systematic study will help you pass with plenty of room to spare.
