CompTIA A+ questions about practice tests
Hey everybody, I've been studying for the 220-801 exam for the past few weeks and I felt that I'm pretty good with the material I've covered in the two books I used so far (exam cram and A+ certification passport, also about to receive the Mike Meyer's CompTIA A+ all-in-one certification guide for free off someone as I just found out they have the book). Thing is, I've tried some online practice tests, and I did pretty well in most, but few had some questions that seemed that they should be in the 802 exam, or some that weren't even covered in the book I used at first (which was the reason I got the second one).
I've printed out the exam objectives straight off the CompTIA website but I'm getting a little paranoid about this exam, putting it off further because I feel like I'm missing some information, as every time I study more, I come across some new kinds of questions that make me feel like I'm not good enough at this yet.
What do you guys think? Is the 220-801 exam hard?
Honestly so far my only weak areas are the printers and some of the cables, which is because I simply didn't spend much time on those yet. The rest is good, I think. Either way, I keep revising things everyday and hoping not to find any more weird questions online that make me feel like I'm not ready for the exam.
Also, I think in some questions, there are two right answers. In the real world you could do whichever you decide to first, but only one answer is correct. Anyone else come across this?

hmmmm...No. though it depends...
However, the exam is geared toward a candidate WITH experience. If you know the objectives and have used a text or two, you'll likely do just fine.
Do not judge the exams based on practice exams and how you 'feel' the questions should have been prepared or placed. The main exam will be based upon the objectives and possibly some BETA questions for future exams...BETA questions are not scored.
The first exam is always one to cause jitters to folks. Take the plunge if you are ready, only you will know if you are ready or not. Worst case, you fail and need to reschedule...most folks fail one or several exams in their career, failing is not bad, it simply highlights what you don't know well...yet...and gives you some guidance for areas to improve upon.
Yes, the exams are expensive, but you are investing in yourself and your skillset, so go in as prepared as possible, but don't over stress.
You'll do fine.
I am one of the few who recommend taking the exams on the same day, at the very least a day apart, but the material works together, so one needs to know it in tangent int he field.
Good luck!

All experience matters! Do not sell yourself short.
Give it a go, the longer the exams are put off...the more anxiety you will build. If you understand the objectives and can explain those points to others, you are likely ready.

That quiz you came across is mostly likely inaccurate. I've read that Linux will be included in the upcoming 900 series of the A+ but not in the 800 series. As for the OSI model that is more of a Network+ question.
