I�ve just returned from taking my A+ Certification Exams and I�m feeling pretty defeated. I passed the software exam but I have to retake the core (hardware) exam. In
preparation for the testing, I took 3 online classes from I also bought another book �A+ Fast Pass� by David Groth because it was recommended by someone who had taken the certification test. I read it twice. I also took advantage of the electronic flashcards and practice tests that came on a CD with the book. I have several hundred flashcards that I�ve made from all of my materials. I even downloaded and used sample practice tests (Study Hall A+ Demo Exams). I went in feeling well prepared and confident. In fact, I actually felt stronger in the hardware than I did in the software As it turned out, the majority of the things I studied weren�t even on the tests. A good portion of items on the tests I had never seen before. It�s like I studied Spanish and the tests was in French. Evidentally, my guesses on the software test were better than those on the hardware test. I want to retake the test, but I don�t know what to study before trying again. Obviously, the materials I have won�t help me. Does anyone know of any books or resources that are more specific to the Core Hardware Exam? At $145.00 a test, I can�t afford to keep studying the wrong material. Thank you in advance. Roberta
