General computer knowledge alone is not enough to pass it, but it’s not the hardest cert in the world. It’s an entry level cert, so you won’t need years of experience, but you do need more than the average user.
Check out Professor Messers free video series for the exams on YouTube. You might want to listen at 1.5x or 2x speed, because the dude is a little dry and drawn out, but he hits every topic category on the exam and is likely all you need to pass. But it certainly is a good idea to use more than one source, as backup i’d Recommend Mike Meyers’s A+ All In One, but one thing that bugged me about that book is how he mixed up the exam topics for both exams into one jumble instead of separating them out for studying one exam at a time.
Good luck!
