I don't know if I went to a brand new testing center or something (I would imagine every center pulls the data off the web anyway). Maybe 4 of the questions I actually studied were on the exam. Seemed like an entirely different question pool. About 20 questions in, I thought I was bombing it. I barely passed.
Studied using Get Certified Get Ahead, the $39.99 package. The site & questions were an easy way to study. I was getting 90-95% on the random question test & the set 10 practical question test. The test was just completely different.
Some of my coworkers were also taking the test using
@ctualtests & T3stking. Those two **** seem to be the same. T3stking has some garbageware program which froze trying to use it,
@ctualtests is a PDF. Even skimming through those for the practical questions, I only found 1 that I was actually tested on. There was one multipule choice which stood out from my test & I couldn't find it on those ****.
I have worked in the IT field for 10+ years. Had a Sec+ right after they started putting an expiration date on them. That test was easy, and I remember some of the questions from GCGAs site. My employer let my Sec+ lapse, so I was required to take it again. I wont make that mistake in the future, I will renew it on my own. Good luck everyone
