Hi all,
I am taking both A+ exams on Wednesday of next week. I am both excited and nervous (excited at the thought of passing and nervous at the thought of failing!). I just wanted to say, I have spent a good hour or two browsing the posts in this forum, and have found most to be quite useful. I have also, of course, found some terrifying when people who have failed the exams have detailed some of the horrifics they went through in the exams!
In some ways I feel I am as well prepared as I can be, as I have studied hard and ripped many an old PC to bits, swapped components over, reinstalled Windows, upgraded Windows etc etc. I guess what I have learnt from looking at posts on this site is that you can never be too careful!
With that in mind, I have Sat & Sun to do the last refreshers and a few practice exams, and I have the day before just to look over notes and hopefully ensure all relevant knowledge is tucked away somewhere in the back of my mind! Oh, but how I know some awkward bugger of a question is going to throw me!
I have found the practice exams to be quite useful - particulalry because of the trick questions, and the ambigious nature of some questions. I guess this is because sometimes in the "real world" simple things trick you and catch you out - as I just found out when attempting to set up a dual boot ME & 2000!
Anyway, I hope that I can come back on Wednesday and say I passed, I passed, I passed!
Thanks for your help

AnimeFrusionSmoothie Member Posts: 22 ■■■□□□□□□□good luck man, you should be able to write stuff down (prometric test centers allow it); but you can't bring anything in to test.
