I am presently studying a $55 Study Guide by McGraw Hill, the auther is
Michael Meyer.
It come with a CD ROM with practice questions. The 1st 100 questions are
free and the remaining 500 are available for $79. I feel that this will
prepare
me for the test. If you add that to the $150 to take the test, its pretty
reasonable
compared to the cost of a course at a community college. And if you run a
PC repair
business, these costs may be tax deductable(check with your accountant).
I hope
this helps. Good Luck.
