Passed today
Is it me or does everybody notice that the practice exams you find on various websites never correspond to what is on the tests. Anywho, on to security +.

You mean that the practice tests don't cover the same general topics, or they're not the exact same questions you see on the exams?

If anybody can help, I came across an acronym "MX" it threw me off, and I still can't figure what it means. Probably so simple, but it was stuck in my mind the entire test. I was thinking multiplex, but it didn't make sense when combined with the rest of the question.

More than likely, this was related to DNS. A mail exchange (MX) record in DNS is used to locate an email server.
A few other DNS records are- A (A or host) record used to map host name to an IPv4 address
- AAAA record used to map host name to an IPv6 address
- PTR (pointer) record used to map a host name back to an IP address
- CNAME (canonical name) used to proide an alias so that any system can have more one name
