Has anyone recently taken the A+ exam? How was it??

[greggx101]

I have my A+ in 1 week.
Has anyone recently sat this exam??
How was it, how were the questions??
Were the topics covered in the popular study packs the same as in the actual exam.
Any trick questions you can warn me about??
What study guides did you use?? Im using Wave technologies complete A+ study and Exam cram A+.

Any help comments would help

Thanks.

Hey I took it in January, it was pretty comprehensive, the book for my class was A+ cert and practice, but I went to the book store and picked up exam cram to see if I was ready. If you have been going over the range of sample questions and know it pretty well you will be fine if you take tests ok. There were a good number of questions regarding irq's, relative com ports and lpt 1 and 2 and conflicts that were prtty specific, even one e3f or whatever type addresse question. On the other hand, some of the questions were like, where do you go to setup the printer in windows? You should know what the configuration files are and what they do, also the boot order will get you on 2 questions, other than that it is exactly what the sample questions will lead you to expect.
