try "CompTIA A+ Practice Questions Exam Cram (Essentials, Exams 220-602, 220-603, 220-604) (2nd Edition)" helped me a lot, if you have time read my post(http://www.techexams.net/forums/viewtopic.php?t=35844) what I did to learn and pass maybe it can help!

I got 580 out of 675!

Is that a bad score?

It's out of 900, 675 is passing.

Failboat gave me a laugh though. Hang in there, you'll get it next time.

Study a bit more, hit the practice tests. I suggest a couple of cbtnugget videos to help you retain your knowledge. Most importantly the question with a lot of IT examinations is not whether your a master of the subject. But whether you can interpret the question quickly and provide the answer quickly, what i mean is review your notes/ books then hit the practice tests to gain SPEED. There is always a need for SPEED. Hope this helps

I don't think there are many people that have been on the road to getting certs for years that haven't failed at least one of them. I have. So don't worry my friend. We know exactly how you feel. I also know the last thing you would want to do is hit the books again after feeling like that. But... inject some fun in your studying. It will make the world of difference.

I love doing practice test and working on my home lab. That way information is still sipping in my mind but I'm not straining to get it (like in reading books). I do this for a while till I get over my failure LOL and then I hit the book again.

Hitting the books now Again
