Passed 220-802, 2nd attempt! Some advise...

in A+
Hey,
Just wanted to share this with any others out there sweating this exam. I did Testout, UCertify, Professor Messer, and lots of other study (including threads on this forum, thanks!). These materials helped give me the foundation I needed to pass maybe 1/3 to 1/2 of the material on the test. I think the test it poorly written and questions fraught with vagueness.
The biggest thing that helped me the 2nd time was to get a good nights rest, go into the the test with a calm mind, and slow down and really think about what the question is asking, and simply choose the answer that makes the most sense. If you frantically try to remember the "right" answer I think your score will suffer as mine did my first attempt.
Good luck, and remember, if you fail the first time, study up and try again!
