This weekend will hopefully earn me two new certifications as well as complete 2 of the final 5 classes I have remaining for my degree. Having already completed Core 1 for A+, I take the 2nd half tomorrow, and I have scheduled for my ITIL Foundations certification on Saturday. Thankfully that one I can at least take from the house.
Being honest, A+ was much tougher than I originally believed before having attempted it. There was a LOT of focus on things like printer technology, and a number of questions where the scenario gives you 4 correct answers, and you need to choose the "best" of the correct answers. If all goes well tomorrow, I'll just be glad to have it behind me at this point.
As far as ITIL goes, it's not "hard" subject matter, but it is very VERY dry material to sift through -- foundations seems to be mostly terminology memorization.
After these two are said and done, I will only have Project+, ORACLE database certification, and my final capstone project to complete. If I can pull it all off by the end of November, I'll have completed my entire bachelor's program in just 6 months.
