CompTIA A+ exams 220-601 through 220-604 to be replaced by 220-701, 702

CompTIA is revising and re-consolidating their flagship entry-level exam, the A+. We anticipate that the 2009 exam versions will be released some time in August (no firm date yet, but we’ll post it here as soon as we know it). The NEW exams will be:
- 220-701: CompTIA A+ Essentials (100 questions)
- 220-702: CompTIA A+ Practical Application (100 questions)
Meanwhile, the existing 2006 A+ exams (220-601, -602, -603, -604) will remain available to test-takers until July 31, 2010. If you’ve been studying the 2006 objectives, you can still take those exams and have a valid and current certification. If you were previously certified in A+ under the 2006 or earlier versions, you can take the all-in-one upgrade Bridge exam, BR0-003, to re-certify under the 2009 objectives.
We’re busy developing our own practice exams for the 220-70* exams — look for those in the third quarter of the year.
ETA 9/30/09: The new release dates for our practice exams are October 25 for 220-701 and November 6 for 220-702.

I can’t tell you that, but if you follow this link:

and choose your testing center (Pearson Vue or Prometric), you can find out by doing a trial scheduling of the exam for your region. Thanks for reading!
