I got my A+ a year or two ago (at 14!). I didn't find it overly difficult but I did spend a lot of time preparing for it to make sure I passed.

It gives a fairly detailed look at all the aspects of Computing, hardware, software etc. It also has a fairly basic networking chapter.

Anyway if you do decide to do it I would recommend this book http://www.amazon.co.uk/exec/obidos/ASIN/0072229918/qid=1110549640/sr=2-1/ref=sr_2_11_1/026-0657337-3206061 written by Mike Meyers. It is probably the best available and everything is well explained in it. The also have a forum here http://p090.ezboard.com/btotalseminars where you can post your A+ questions.
