Passed A+ HW 2 years ago, what to do now? 1

[Joley]

Hi all,
I passed only A+ HW (2000 version) on 2002, if I want to be A+ certified how do I go about doing it? Can I still take the OS 2000 and be done with it, or I have to take both 2003 OS and HW?
Thanks everybody

The Grace Period of A+ Mix and Match 2001 and 2003 Exams Ends June 30

Until June 30, all CompTIA A+ candidates can mix and match 2001 and 2003 exams to earn their A+ computer technician certification. After June 30, candidates must take a 2003 Core Hardware exam together with a 2003 Operating Systems exam to achieve the CompTIA A+ certification.

The option to mix and match old and new exams began on November 26, 2003 when the latest versions of the two A+ exams were released. Since A+ is a two-exam certification, CompTIA did not want to penalize those that had already passed one of the exams. That grace period will end, June 30, 2004.

Ending this grace period helps to ensure that those earning CompTIA A+ in 2004 and beyond have demonstrated knowledge mastery that is current and relevant. CompTIA urges all A+ candidates who have passed a 2001 Core Hardware or Operating Systems exam to make the most of the remaining grace period and schedule the remaining exam as soon as possible.

Better get HOT.

Thanks glister,
I have one more question though. Is the 2000 exams the same as 2001? I passed 2000 exam, not 2001, what will the situation be then?
Thanks

You may be SOL. Older exams are usually good for about 6 months after they release new objectives. The only way to really be sure is to call CompTIA. Get the real word straight from the horse's mouth, so to speak.

Good luck.
