I took it about 10 years ago.. at that time it had 2 parts Hardware and software.. Thats about all I remember. Other than to fill a job requirement I found it useless. mine expired years ago.

I believe scottpA_GS is correct, there are two parts hardware and software.  I have had friends take it but i never have myself.  I believe they may have changed the test a little to deprecate some of the older technologies that will never be used again but not all.  Basically if you are good at memorization and already have a working knowledge of computer technologies you should be alright.
