Anyone taking advantage of the free voucher offered to "all AF military and government civilian employees"? I'm also wondering what the best resource would be to cram for this since the tests need to be taken before Christmas

Professor Messor has a fantastic free video series. I used his videos for my A+ and Security+

Other great non-free resources are test engines like pass4sure.com. I used it on my Security+ exam and saw many of the exact same questions word for word on the official cert test.

I think they ran out pretty quickly. Only one other person in my shop was able to get theirs approved

O you're right. O the page to request a voucher they now have this message:
[COLOR="#FF0000"]We are now out of the A+ free vouchers.
Members in IAT I coded positions or the 3D1X1 AFSC may continue to request vouchers. There will be a wait while we wait for more vouchers to arrive.
All others will not be approved. We do not expect to have any additional free vouchers in the future.

Here's my experience with these tests for those interested:
Passed 220-801 a couple weeks ago: mostly just watched the Professor Messer videos
Failed 220-802 last week: didn't get to watching the videos and I regretted it. Was hoping my work experience would carry me through
They said they had a couple more vouchers available that some people ended up not using, so I took it again today. This time I made sure to watch the Messer videos, and my coworker gave me the $10 Messer guide. This made a huge difference.
Luckily I brain dumped after my fail and looked up all the things I could remember. I got a lot of the same questions
Other things I used:
Anything I could find on Google by typing in "220-801 flashcards" or "220-802 cheat sheet"
Message me if you want any study materials I used
