I need help please guys!

I just sat my A+ exam and I didin't pass. I got 478. I was just wondering in the exam when you leave answers marked and you've answered them, do they still count those?

And I just want to say that the exam had no pictures that you had to identify. I studied off the Exam cram 2 book(self study). Most of the stuff I studied wasn't even on the exam.

On my A+ score report it says "You missed one or more questions in the following objective ares." What does that mean. I answered all of the questions.

Thanks!

Marked questions should not count against you. Questions that you didn't answer simply means incorrect areas that you need to brush up on a little bit before you take the exam again. Also I would recommend Mike Myers all-in-one book. Good luck!!!

Check this website out. Go to the Comptia section and click on A+ Core and A+ software. Definately get a copy of the Mike Meyers book. How much studying did you do?

Well, you were not too far off from a pass.

Review the objectives again, if there is anything that you're not 100% sure of, then we'll help you in the forums. Otherwise, take a little more time and try again.

Everybody guesses on some questions. It's too bad you didn't have a little better luck on those, you could have squeaked out a pass.

I haven't yet heard anyone rave about Exam Cram's stuff. I read one of their books and became more confused than I was when I started. There was a lot of stuff in that book that contridicts itself!

I think Mike Meyers is the way to go. I haven't taken the test yet, but after reading Meyers' "All In One" I sure understand computers a lot better.

Good Luck!

Thanks guys for your help. I'm going to study a bit harder this time and get that book by Mike Myers. I see that most people are recommending it.

Thanks all!

God Bless!

Let me ask this question in relation to the first post in this thread.

What is ment by if you leave answers left marked? And about them not counting against you? I know I might have not asked this clearly, but hopefully someone understands the question.

Thanks
