OS crossing over into Core?
|

| I've been taking a few practice exams lately (well, more than a few, a
lot!) on the Core portion of the test. It doesn't matter which one,
ExamEssentials, SkillDrill, etc, but they all seem to pepper the Core
practice test with items that you're supposed to find on the OS portion
such as how to use the command 'sys' on a drive, what registry key holds
what, what feature of Windows 95 does x, etc.
Are the actual CompTIA exams strictly seperated, or do they to have
"bleeding" over of the OS material into the Core? I understand I need to
know both, but I don't like the OS questions I'm not prepared for yet
"dirtying" up my practice scores that I use to gauge my readiness for the
Core exam upon.

| Hey James
It would be nice if CompTIA realised that there is no real value in
separating Core & OS (except for extra exam fees). You can not run hardware
without software and software is useless without hardware.

Perhaps, but if I recall, the OS exam covered software implementations
and problem resolition, where the core exam covered hardware and
customer service skills.
