First of all, thank you to all who took the time to respond(or try to respond) to any of my questions on the forum
The OS portion of the exam was more difficult than the core part.
Tricky questions like "what is the command line that is used to boot to windows so it only utilizes only a certain amount of it's available physical memory"(not an actual question from the exam, just similar)
Regardless of some tricky questions these exams seem really easy to pass. Probably mostly because of the low mark they require.
This may be too much information for people(boring details) but here is what worked for me:
(note I've been working as a service technician for a year at a computer store)
Last Thursday Finished a+ core exam
Saturday I started studying by reading the entire OS section in the a+ for dummies book.
Sunday i read it over again looking at the parts that i didn't have down pat.
Monday night I did all the OS questions from
http://mcmcse.com/ (average about 80%)
Tuesday night did 200 questions from
http://www.free-tests.com/.
(average about 80%)
Wednesday night i played earthbound because my test was the next day and I felt like relaxing a bit.
Thursday i passed my exam.
Anyways i best be off to start reading my Network+ book since i'm in a motivated kind of mood.
