No More Delay
Well, I appreciate this forum being added. I had hoped for a little more feedback and postings from others doing this cert., but I guess it's not very common yet.
Going ahead with writing on next Monday. Despite the level of difficulty associated with the other certs. that I've already completed, this cert. is the first one I don't feel confident about passing. Oh well, I'll give it my best shot.

What did you use to prepare for the exam? Could you find any practice questions?
Good luck! The passing score is 'only' 499, so even when you don't feel entirely confident, you should have a good chance of passing.
The one thing that raises my confidence though is the passing score... as you pointed out it has a relatively low (63%) pass requirement.

I found this exam to be the worst for BEST CASE senarios out of all the CompTIA exams I've written. There were many questions in which it was possible to reduce to 2 or 3 good answers, but only one was CompTIA's MOST appropriate action. I think the questions on this exam are very subjective.
The SYBEX book was good, although the version I had was for 2001 objectives and the exam has been changed (as of March 31, 2004) to the new 2003 objectives. That of course didn't help, as about 25% of the questions I had to use educated guesses since they used terms not covered by either SYBEX or the practice exam.
Now back to more technical hands-on stuff... time for LINUX+
Another addition to your CompTIA certs collection
...apart from that, did you learn much from preparing for the exam? Do you think it is useful for others?

Best of luck on Linux+!
Go for every cert you can... even if it only helps a little... they all add up. (and CompTIA certs are good for life)
