I've been in the tech field for ~7-8 years now, only have my Associates degree and looking at working on my Bachelors...just for a bit of background...

in anycase i'm ready to start taking cert to show what i know (hopefully a raise as well) but some of the finer details always throw me on a test...so what kind of prep test/material do you guys find helped you out the most? website, book, test, video series...

i'm starting on the "easier" test Comptia (A+, Net+, Sec+...)

I don't rightly remember what the specific link is, but there is a microsoft schools section on their website where you can download a tonne of their certification information for free!

to anyone starting out on the certification process then one website that will be useful above all others is
http://www.test-your-it-knowledge.com/ it has about 2,000 questions. The questions are up to date and they are slightly easier than the actual certifications
