I took the A+ core Hardware exam which had alot of good questions, but some were very wierd. I won't mention them but on more than a few questions I seriously could have gone fifty-fifty. But hey, I guess thats life.
I recieved a 642 out of 900, and I feel really bad because I felt that I knew every single question on my exam by heart. I only needed to mark five questions to go back to (although I fealt more than 75 percent sure that they were right), and two of those I remembered after the test when I came home, so i looked them up and I had them right. Is it possible to get a 642 by only missing 3 questions? Its times like this that I wish I could see the marked test. But I feel so dissapointed because I feel I know it far better than my score reflects. I am seriously contemplating retaking the exam, just to get a higher score; the score that I busted my butt off to achieve (that means takeing IT Essentials 1 and passing with an A+, busting my butt off for 3 months reviewing 2003 as well as 2002 objective material, takeing 3-100 question practice exams, taking end of chapter quizes from THREE diferent books, each with at least 6 hardware related chapters...I feel robbed).
1. Does anyone feel the same way I do about the exam? (That their vast knowledge is cheated and degraded by guessing games and not very well thought out questions).
2. What do you feel is a good score on the exam?
3. Finally, does the score even matter to employers or is it just the fact of having the cert that matters? If it does matter, then will someone with a higher score get the better job?
Thanks, for any and all reply's, even mean ones
...I don't care.
