A+ Certification study status

I’m up to Chapter 8 now which talks about Power Supplies. I’m going to try finishing the chapter today and read the next few chapters tomorrow. I’m planning to do the practice tests once I finish reading the entire book then restudy the parts that I have a little difficulty on.

Heres pictures of the actual book using my digital camera

And the book opened with my objectives papers to the left and right.

A+ Certification requires you to take two tests. The first test is mandatory and its called Essentials exam 220-601. The other exam, you can can pick from 220-602 (IT Technician), 220-603 (Remote Support Technician), or 220-604(Depot Technician). Since most people take the primary path of 220-602 (IT Technician) I did so as well.

Maple

Tomorrow, I will be on Maple all day. However most of the time AFK studying from my A+ Certification book. I will only be active when a Skelegon PT smega pops up.
Saturday however, I’m going to try and take a 1 day break from studying and train a lot.

Bonus pic:

Taken from the same position, but at night time. It sure is dark, and you can only see 1/2 the CN tower due to cloud cover.

Time to focus on life.

From here on in, I will only be on certain hours of the day. I will still reset my elf vend everyday but you might see a delay in giving the money to you.

The reason why is that I bought my A+ Certification book today which I will focus nearly 90% of my time on. A+ Certification is extremely important if I want to ever get a decent computer job. I know theres other certifications out there but most computer jobs need A+ certification.

Before I bought this book, I did a practice exam online and got a passing mark, but it was a barely pass, so I quickly figured that I would need to buy the book for sure.

I’ve only read three of the chapters so far (I’m reading up and studying on microprocessors now) and this is probably the first time I have never been bored studying, probably because i’m so into computers and its giving me lots of knowledge. The book even contains a CD that contains practice tests and some recommended software that the book author recommends!

I will still come on to play a bit during my 2x exp period, but I cannot guarantee me reaching 160 now because real life > MapleStory in all ways.

For the people also into computers and want to get A+ Certification, I am studying from this book: A+ Certification All-in-One Exam Guide, Sixth Edition. Most of the reviews of this book came out positive and they passed the A+ exam with “flying colours”. Hopefully it will be the same for me.

What? I actually trained?

Today, was basically just training on Skelegons with Himeko so she could get to lv 140. Before I started this, I went to fish for a long while, then did Zakum Quest part 1 a bit for some Dead Mine Scrolls (They are 210-220k PER SCROLL in Kaede). I also was soo bored in the morning so I did this in the FM.

For the people that don’t know what I spelt, its Hyatt from Excel Saga; yes the girl that vomits lots of blood and is as ridiculous as Excel herself.

At 4pm, me and Himeko went to Skelegon for about 2 hours. Afterwards, we went to do duo pap which was highly successful.

Now for her level up to 140!

姫子c、140レベおめでとう!

Tomorrow, hopefully Himeko isn’t bored and can actually Skelegon for a long time because I want to get to about 70% tomorrow so I can actually get to 160 before my exp card expires.

Lv 157, and moar ilbi?

Alright, sorry for not updating the blog for a week. There hasn’t been much happening this week and its only interesting to play on Friday and Saturday.

However, this happened last week. I was helping Himeko getting ETC for a quest she has not yet done and this pops out after blasting about 7 Dual Ghosts down.

Steely. I was TOTALLY not expecting that. I think my Luck seems to be increasing again.

This is what happened on Friday. Killing Head Ninjas and, out comes out a Ilbi AGAIN; this time on NORMAL DROP RATES!

The next day.. Same channel.. and sooner or later.. WHAT!?! ANOTHER ILBI!?

This week, there was nearly 0 Skelegon PT available for me. Although I joined one and gained about 22%.

Today’s party however, was very unusual. Himeko wanted to try Red Wyverns for Dragon Scales so I joined. This dropped when I nearly levelled.

This Metus sucked. 87 attack, so TO THE NPC TORCH!

And the Level up!

Added three to Genesis

I’m not going to bother put how much exp I gained anymore, because I don’t update my blog as much anymore.

2nd Ribgol, but probably the suckiest weekend training day.

I was having very weird dreams today.. I was dreaming that FOUR red Cravens dropped in a matter of minutes at Dark Kentaurus, plus I was thinking in the dream that I was going to get points for them for sure.. But later, I woke up and thought.. crap…

The VPN totally sucked today and I tried to get a good connection but to no avail. So I waited until the Japan Proxies had their password updated and began training.

I trained very little today and I wasn’t expecting any drops due to the low drop rate from Head Ninjas.. However, after using Angel ray to a single Head Ninja, this surprisingly dropped!

Osht, 2nd Ribgol, however the atk was terrible.. Only 97 atk (4 below average).

I’m not even going to bother posting how much experience I gained today, but i’ll tell you that I gained nowhere close to 10% today, due to lack of Skelegon PT, and Head Ninjas completely got boring after a while.
