Getting 85% on test exams, am i ready?

finkle636

I have just passed the Microsoft 70-270 (XP) exam a couple of weeks ago.

I am on chapter 10 of 17 of the Sybex A+ book and have been using "measure up" for the 2 practice tests A+ essentials and A+ Technician.

I'm averaging 85% on each as i have done each of them 3 times (although i've not gone through all the bank of available questions), i am able to get Friday off work to go and sit both exams on the same day.

Does this sound like i'm ready as long as i finish the Sybex book and complete all the questions on both measure up test banks?

I am eagre to get them done but i dont want to throw money away if i'm not ready.

Skip the practice exams. If used, and I don't recommend them, they should only be used as a tool to assess your knowledge prior to beginning your studies and at the end to evaluate if you've grown your understanding of the topic.

Taking them more frequently only gets you used to the questions and memorizing answers and not understanding the material ..... what the goal should be.

Your first priority should be experience, how much do you have right now?
Second, how well do you understand the objectives?
Third, what materials are you using to prepare (in addition to the Sybex book), typically 2-3 books are encouraged depending on ones skillset. Mike Meyers and Sybex are the two best on the market.

You may wish to suppliment your studies with CBTNuggets or Trainsignal materials if you benefit from video study.

As far as should you take the exams this Friday? Hard to say, only you know that answer.

Good luck.
