A+ Essentials
Very simple straight forward test.. I like these new tests, vs the old core, and OS. Had 1 or 2 odd open ended questions on the exam as always with Comptia exams. Other than that I like the new format.. I like the higher minimum passing score. The old A+ being 515, and 505 IIRC was pathetic.. I wish they would make it even…

A+ Essentials exam and how it relates to the older tests

602 Question, How would you answer?

Are the 2 tests more or less the same?
I did a double header today and passed 220-601 and 220-602 today. I couldn't really tell any difference between them, and there had to be at least 10 questions I got that were on both exams. Anyone else experience this? It seems like it could be merged into one test, but I guess it would impact Comptia's bottom line.
