I'm still pretty novice in the world of computers. I can take one apart and put it back together and make sure it all works hardware wise, I can do fine working with software as long as I don't have to do much in the registry, still getting used to the hex codes and such. I'm a competitor in SkillsUSA for Computer Maintenance and I've went to state three years in a row now, and I made it to Nationals last year and got 22nd out of 42 due to only making a 660/700 on the 802 exam.. Made an 864 on the 801 so I'm good there. I just wanna know if I should go ahead and pay for it, or make my school pay for it, or just see if I make it to nationals again?
