What is the hardest topic of o/s exam to study?

I honestly found the number of operating systems covered on the test to be somewhat troublesome. I would have expected a little more linux and mac and a few less versions of windows.

I like windows , I use windows, but why would I want to know the upgrade path from windows95 to windowsXP? Alot of it just seemed useless to me.

I took the tests right before they did the latest reformat. Did the new format address this or did they just continue to add more stuff onto the top?

It is useful today,but hard to grasp......

Printers! The whole 6 step process of laser printing, Bubblejet vs.inkjet, and dot matrix stuff. It seems like those questions always get me on my practice tests. I think I'm going to re-read my entire printer chapter before my test, hopefully it will sink in better.

That and obscure things like what is the default IRQ for LPT1? Really?

I just took the essentials and found it easy. I'm taking the tech tomorrow so well see.

I had the hardest time with:

Booting, fat, mbr, config.sys, autoexec.bat

That is probably because you cannot work with it hands on, it all happens behind the scene. It just takes a little extra effort - I recommend the flash card method for these.

Definitely booting, fat, mbr, config.sys, autoexec.ba. No doubt.
