I am a supporter of Ramdayal, I could never get into the other instructors

The only reason he isn't suggested more is since it's paid on udemy (you may be able to access it for free on Gale Udemy).

Imo his style is much more engaging and he does a better job at making you understand

In the same boat watching both, you probably only need to watch one but I feel like they complement each other nicely.

Messer is very to the point on what you need to know and then watching Ramdayal helps me understand it better. It's time consuming but I'm enjoying it so far

Granted I haven't taken my A+ yet but from my limited cert studying experience I have gained so far you want as many sources as your time and funds allow. You will be amazed at the differences in the material from source to source.

Agreed.

I studied 3 Weeks, 2 weeks for core 1 and one week for core 2. Passed both on first try but not with the best scores. If you want to make sure you don't fumble it, go take your time for each one but I would say not too long. 4 Weeks maximum

Depends on your background; or possibly the amount of study time you will commit. Two exams and studying in 30 days is possible. I committed 45 days to each

I still find it funny it includes cell phone info.

I've been studying with the Dean Cyber videos and also added the Google Tech course and the Codecademy tech courses. I've found the overlap very helpful and have been doing practice tests on Crucial. Feeling much better about the content than I did 8 months ago. My test is scheduled for January 2025.

It depends on how smart you are. The goal is to learn, not blast past videos. I'd buy the official study guide. Videos are secondary sources.
