A+ Certified Now

Passed the A+ Core today with a 743. I took the OS about two weeks ago. I thought the Hardware portion was more difficult than the Software portion of the test. Although I scored higher on the hardware with a 743 and scored a 725 on the software. Guess I just guessed better on the Hardware. Funny thing though memorized all the I/O addresses and don't remember there being one question on the test.

Congrats.

I also scored slightly higher in hardware and thought they were about the same difficulty. I think the big difference is the Core covers a lot more material than the OS. More people find the Core easier because most are already familiar with a lot of the basic components and can build off of what they already know.

?????Mmmmm.........Still not sure, if you are talking about the Score scale it is between 100-900 and must score a 515 or higher to pass the Core and I think a 500 to pass the software.
