CompTIA’s A+ 220-701 Essentials Exam is one of two exams required to achieve the A+ 2009 certification as PC Support Technician. The exam is aimed towards entry-level computer professionals, such as desktop support specialists, remote administrators, and depot assemblers.

This exam has no prerequisites and is designed for individuals with at least 500 hours in computer technology support. Users that attain the A+ 2009 Certification are usually referred to as a helpdesk technician, computer support professional, or IT technician. In addition to having strong technical knowledge, these professionals have good customer service skills and a willingness to assist clients with their computer needs.

The official domains of the exam are:

Hardware
Troubleshooting, Repair and Maintenance
Operating Systems and Software
Networking
Security
Operational Procedure

Successful candidates understand computer technology fundamentals, as well as networking and security basics. The 220-701 exam focuses more heavily on hardware support and troubleshooting than previous iterations of the A+ Essentials exam. Additionally, the previous exam’s focus on soft skills and environmental concerns have been deemphasized and rolled into the single Operational Procedure domain. However, the exam will still ask 100 questions in traditional multiple choice and multiple answer format.

The passing score for this exam is a 675 or better on a scale of 900. Candidates have 90 minutes to answer the questions. The exam has been updated to include material related to Windows 7. Therefore, it is imperative that candidates familiarize themselves with Windows 7 as it relates to the above domains.

Since on average, the earnings of certified individuals is 5-15% higher than that of un-certified peers, the A+ certification can help lead to an increase in salary for IT professionals. The certification makes it clear that these professionals are serious about their work and want to demonstrate that they possess the skills that potential employers and clients demand.

Similarly, companies staffed by A+ certified professionals can anticipate increased productivity, lower training costs and solid, ongoing business.

A good practice exam shows you exactly what to expect when you take the real exam. This is important because each exam vendor has a unique testing style and each individual exam has its own personality as well. This means that simply knowing the information usually won’t be enough. You need to have experience with your particular exam and know how your knowledge will be tested or you’ll fail.

But be careful when choosing. Not all practice exams are created equally. It’s easy to write a few questions and call it a practice exam. It’s far more difficult to duplicate the experience of the real exam as LearnSmart does.
