out of curiosity..

i took the A+ tests almost 5 years ago, now.. passed the Core with flying colors, failed the OS, and pretty much forgot about the whole thing up until now. i've been going through some of the uCertify tests for A+ Core, OS, and Net+.. and i'm finding them ridiculously simple.

anybody out there have experience with these tests? how faithful are they to the actual tests regarding complexity? are they really this straight-forward?

i've been reading the cramsession study guides, the technotes on here, and various resources elsewhere.. but i'm just curious about these uCertify tests because i've heard a ton of praise about them.. seems a bit off.

or maybe irq's, bus widths, OSI, and the procedures on installing printers in 50 different OS's are just permanently ingrained in my brain, at this point.

thanks.

I hear more people say they are harder than they seem. I took the 2001 objective exam, and I know there are a couple of newer topics I don't know much about, but I think that's because I stopped thinking A+, and am now doing M$ stuff. Not to mention, Ucertify doesn't have the best reputation for it's material.

Never heard of them

So they are not likely a good place to obtain study material. If MS recommends them, that is one thing, but stick with the more traditional and well used methods to prepare for A+
