Passed both exams, now I'm certified!!!
I have now passed both the A+ exams, passing the OS on Wednesday and the Core a couple of weeks before. I found the hardware section relitivly easy but felt the OS exam was alot harder (it may have been just the luck of the draw with the questions). Anyway the main thing is I've passed and many thanks to this web site which helped me with my study and what to expect from the exams.

I think on the average most people would say OS is more difficult. That's what I thought!
Best of luck in the future.
i thought the o/s exam was the same or easier than the core when i did it. mind you, i spent six months studying for each.
I just passed my OS today and thought it was harder than the Hardware.
When i took the exams, i thought the OS was harder...but i passed the OS exam with 22 questions(i think)..as oppose to my Core which i passed on question 30..
