Good luck! I achieved 8 CompTIA certifications in the last 2 months!

This is the question. Here are my guesses (which, of course I will address/study for the next attempt).
1. Simulations. There were more than a few- I can only guess that since neither of the 2 books I used to study with (nor the Messer Vids) had simulations, that I may not have scored well enough on them. I missed questions in 19 of the 33 domains - about 50% of domain 1,2,3,4,5,6.
A 600 score of 900.
2. I did not have the Prowse or Gibson Books/study material that many here have reported to be valuable/content equivalent to the exam.
This one is my best guess as I have different study materials... so different results. The sources/authors I used on previous exams did not get me where I needed to be on this particular exam.
So now I must..
1. Pay for more study materials
2. Pay for another exam
3. Spend a lot more time (of note: I spent more time on this exam then any of the previous 3 exams that I passed on the first go)
gosh - that's a lot of grumbling from me- I am a bit miffed it seems, sorry to go on about it (its still fresh).
Thank you all for the well wishing and advice- it has a very positive impact and I really appreciate it.
Sorry that you did not pass this exam this time, but I hope that you use thee feedback from the forum and exam results to study hard and pass it on your next attempt! Best of luck!
Sorry to hear about your results! I'd pick up Darril's book for your next attempt.
Good luck and hang in there. You'll get it next time! Study and work hard!

Thanks fuz1on- I've ordered the Prowse and Gibson (Darril's) books.
Cool. I feel it's always better to get a few different books; just in case, one writing style works better for you. Do you have any idea about what mistakes you made on the performance-based/simulation questions? Try to visualize and/or replicate it with VMs or lab sims. You're probably gonna get something similar next time - maybe some of the same questions. I really can't say because I passed SYO-301.

It is an *awful* feeling- and not easy to swallow since I am paying for the exams myself.
