Recently, I have been studying very hard for the A+ Core exam. I
would like to warn everyone that there is a lot of miss-information
available on the web. Watch for incorrect study guides and some
very bad practice tests. Some of the worst must be paid for.
Some stuff I have found:
1) Pentiums have a 64 bit address bus - This is from a large, free, study
guide.
2) You should use emery cloth (sandpaper) to clean motherboard contacts - Paid for practice test.
3) The PC serial port will not operate full-duplex - Paid for practice test.
4) Practice test questions that ask for multiple answers, but only allow
one answer to be checked.
5) Practice test questions that que 'pop up ads'. - I paid for this??
I have noticed that many practice test questions appear to be bad
English translations from another language. Example: Ever hear of
'Paper Quality' when talking about the number of pins in a dot matrix
printer?
I'll post a couple of real confusing practice exam questions, that I
paid for, later today on this thread.
I would like to say that the study guides and practice exams on this
site appear to be first rate.
Later,
old
