You guys need to leave these Comptia exams alone, they are a waste of time and money outside of Sec+. Unless you are getting a job at DoD or something and it's required, you are better off going another route.
Instead of Net+, which is bullshyt, go for CCENT which is cheaper. It might be a little harder but you can build on it and it's much more applicable to real world IT because its based on a industry standard.
Instead of A+, go for a Windows 7 MCSA. This might actually be easier than A+ in my opinion outside of the deployment, and security stuff. Plus by now Windows should be extremely familiar to most people and it's easy to lab. And like CCENT, you can build on it...even though I wouldn't bother.
