Unlike the previous iteration of this exam, it will no longer involve questions on legacy operating systems, such as Windows 3.1 and Windows 95. Additionally, the A+ 220-602 exam will involve questions that deal with soft skills and office communication, as well as some basic questions on electricity and safety procedures. Candidates that are familiar with computer technology, but unfamiliar with service communication would do well to study up on the proper method of assisting customers, coworkers, and superiors. However, the exam will still ask 80 questions in traditional multiple choice and multiple answer format. The passing score for this exam is a 700 or better on a scale of 900.

Easy	TechFlux on Friday, May 16, 2008

If you can pass the Essentials test than you can pass this easily.

Mostly common sense	crevans17 on Thursday, September 27, 2007

Anybody not even in the IT field could get close to half the questions right. The professionalism questions are common sense as well as the safety and environmental issues. The security is a bit tougher, but not too much on it anyway. My advise, take the essentials (harder) and just speed read through the IT technician portion and study guides and practice questions and then take it. IF you have been a technician for at least 6 months, it will be no problem passing this.

a bit hard	sumen457 on Saturday, August 25, 2007

I passed the 601 with 800 but i only got 685 for the 602.

Easy for someone with exp.	jarrett_j_jackson on Saturday, June 16, 2007

This test was very easy I have over the years experience with PC hardware and Desktop support experience.scored 780 on the test with just 4 days of study time. But, for someone with really one PC hardware on Desktop support experience I would take your time and use different sources to study from like Sybex A+ certification or the CBT Nuggets A+ certification cd-rom.Just take your time on the test because you have plenty of time to take it and review over questions that you are unsure of and you should have no problems.

Not that bad	misirlou on Wednesday, February 28, 2007

The hardest part was trying to find some study material that wasn't just a rearranged edition of an older book. I used Sybex's Fast Pass; studied it for half a week and passed with an 825. There was more questions about security than I expected and I wish I had memorized the various paths to most windows administration tools.

Updated to 2006	moxnix on Saturday, November 04, 2006

I needed to update quickly to the 2006 version so I started looking over the objectives Thursday afternoon, Took the test on Friday morning before work and passed with an 875. I work with computers everyday and this test seemed easy to me.
