So any hints on what areas A+ leans heavily towards? Any books you can suggest to get an idea what they're throwing at me? All help is appreciated!
It's basic computer knowledge. Maintenance questions mostly since it's designed to be aquired by people wanting to be computer repair peeps. Lots of printer maintenance questions since those tend to break down/jam/go nuts in the workplace more than other things.

A+ is easy as pie, I had to do it as a pre-requisite for MCP. Unlike the flooded job market over there, over here people literally throw money at employees with MCP/MCSA/MCSE, whee.It's basic computer knowledge.

Yeah. As I read the objectives I'm not too worried. Just don't want to flub the job opportunity I stumbled on.
And yes, knowing basic printer repair is a must as well. I suggest a book called A+ Fast Pass, as it starts off assuming a fairly developed knowledge base and fills in the lesser known gaps, and also comes with flash card software 
I still need to take the test though

It can't be as bad as this VICA test I took in high school. Bastards were asking about Pentium 1s, dot matrix printers, and other various ancient things. In all fairness, we have a dot matrix printer at work. Though bastard jams all the time.

Yeah, I had to laugh when those questions came up. They even asked about WinME.
