blueice, you probably are ready. i find that i am ready to book the exam when i start getting blase and complacent with study and practise tests.
ghaoufa, best thing to do is have everything coered as best you can as there are a lot of scenario questions, which may take in more than one objective at a time.
know your osi model, topologies, cabling specs, interoperability between macs and *nix/windows servers, dhcp, dns, wins. try to have every objective covered as best you can. and don't forget that you can review your answers - i did the exam in just over half and hour and spent almost the same amount of time going over my answers again... there was one question in particular where i read it wrong.
take your time. it's not a race. scenario questions will take longer to answer, but the straight-forward questions will be ansered in seconds

kind of like, your present network uses blah and your boss wants it changed to blah, and you are given various choices. or there's the diagram questions where station blah cannot connect to such-and-such a device or server blah, and it give you other details about cabling and what-not, and you have to decide where the problem is.
if you use transcender, their questions aren't far off the mark.A+ Moderator -

there were a few questions that i thought seemed to be outside the whelms of the objectives or in depth that i thought was not required, but for those i tried to put the pieces together and make an educated guess.
transcender is believed to be a little harder than comptia exams, some say even harder than actual microsoft exams. their pass mark is certainly higher than the actual exam.
the explanations that transcender give will go someway to explain things, sometimes in better detail than your books A+ Moderator -

Hey ghaoufa,
You are ready! The main goal is to pass. Getting a 900 or 646 is no difference. A few question came from left field 
such as why you can't connect to a Hotel phone 
. I guess you you just have to do what bellboy said, "make a educated guess", and you will be okay.
Good luck!!
