hey man. dont feel bad. Sometimes things just dont click. Clear your head, go over some topics you feel week in, and then show that test who's the boss!

Condolances glenlee83.

Just go to CompTIA to the A+ objectives and compare those with what you know. Then you can know your weaknesses. Go here,

http://comptia.com/certification/A/objectives.asp

then study, study, study!--for revenge!

You're probably a victim of the "luck of the draw". Your exam was taken from a large question pool and you may have gotten more of the more difficult questions, or questions on subjects that you may have not been well-versed in than someone else may have gotten.

Best of luck

I hate it when that happens...

Seriously though, you will do better next time, keep a stiff upper lip, work on the areas you missed and give it another shot. Good luck!

Don't worry about it man, just keep your mind positive. The good side of it is that you know how COMP-TIA gives there exams. I failed the first time......NO BIGGY

I also failed the first time with the core test. Keep your head up, go back to the books.....take more practice tests and go at it again.

Good luck

I agree with everyone else, you now know how Comptia asks questions and what the exam is like. There are 1000's of questions for them to draw from so your next test should be different. Go back and study, use all the free practice tests that are out there and when you are passing them with 95%, go back and ace the test. Good luck

Just calm down dude. You'll do it next time. So Best Luck on your second try.

make a list of all the stuff you were told you got wrong, and make a list of all the stuff you remember seeing in the exam that you had no idea what the answer was.

read up on them. if they aren't in your book(s), then use google, ask questions here.

you probably missed passing the exam by one question. decide whether it was because you didn't know some objectives at all, or most of the objectives not well-enough. then study.

we know you can do it the next time

Failed 2 times with this score 513/515!!!

So..It can be harder:).....Now I'm just reading (Meyers's book,David Groth's book from Sybex + a Exam guide) and testing myself : I spent a lot of testing time with Transcender test engine.

I'm "waiting" ...and I'LL BITE HARD!

Be patient!!Don't give up!Read the books 2 times and learn everyday something new!

Wish you good luck next time!

I will take the test in 2 weeks and I will let you know ...what it will be

supreme2k

Sorry to hear that, i will be signing up for my CORE and OS test soon too. Probably will do both at the same time. Good luck next time.

As for Material Safety Data Sheet otherwise known as MSDS is documents created and posted for worker regarding harzadous material and proper ways of handling, transporting, storing, and diposing it. MSDS contain information with first-aid informations aswell.

wow...

I had all those questions on my test. What's weird is that I also thought the test was easy but my score showed otherwise. On the other hand, network+ was kind of

in comparison but my score was better.

keep your head up

are there any special rules for staying clear of cattle and horses down there.

I'm hearing people down there are well acquainted with animals 'on-road'.

LOL That reminds me of the scene from Gone in 60 seconds where Donny gets upset with the Asian woman cuz she can't drive and he goes :
"$hit I know I can't swim ... so you know what I do? I keep my black @$$ out the pool!!"

IOW, keep your @$$ off the road, Sartan

It's always the close calls like that that hurt the worst. With a score that close, you can almost right it off to a bad batch of questions. Just do a good refresher on the topics you think you didn't do so hot on, and have at it again. The 2nd time's the charm.

glenlee83

Thanks everyone
Today I took A+ Core again. I passed!!!!!!!!!! 554

I think Comptia has my record that I failed, so today exam was totally different questions.
Anyway there are so many CPU ,printer, networking question.
CPU questions were very tricky....

Thanks again
