taking the plunge...

For those who have taken the exam, will the questions be similar to the one's in Darril's book or are they closer to Measureup? Darril's questions seem to only have one obvious answer whereas the Measureup has probably two or three at could be OK?

Has anyone done the measureup test? I read that it's more difficult than the actual exam but the questions are phrased very similar?

Thanks!

Havent used either but I found the actual exam was much different than any study source material I reviewed. I felt like I was failing the exam halfway through taking it. When I finished I was shocked to find I scored an 850.

I'm taking the exam in about 2 hours so I'll let you know.

Much closer to the questions on CompTIA's web site.

Darrils questions were somewhat similar to the exam but they did not have an obvious answer.

Welcome to the forums.

No matter which resource you use, one of the most important things you can do is make sure you understand why the correct answer is correct, and why the incorrect answers are incorrect. This way no matter how CompTIA words the questions you'll get them correct and pass the exam. In other words, when you're doing practice test questions, it's tremendously valuable to take the time to read the explanations and understand the underlying concepts.

Good luck.
