Freecomptia.com and Passport A+

| I'm wonder, what's everyone's opinion of Freecomptia.com? Are many of the
questions on this site actually found on the exam? The reason I ask is
because I recently tried out many of the questions there and seem to be
doing pretty well (85% to 95%) but I went over to nerdom.com and tried a
few of those and well, they were painfully hard.
Also, I wanted to voice my opinion of Mr. Meyers' passport A+ book. I find
it a great read, easy to follow (except maybe the SCSI portion) and it
really fills in the gaps of my knowledge since I've been futzing with PCs
for a few years now, I just need to bone up on "book learning" for the
tests. Has anyone tried the upgrade to the example tests on the CD? Is it
worth the $19.99?

Passport is a great book. Upgrading to the other 50 tests is ABSOLUTLY
not. The additional questions are almost identical to the first 50, one
of them even has the wrong answer. If you are doing well on the
freecomptia stuff and can answer the questions at the end of the
passport section then you will do fine (atleast that was the case for me).

I just checked that site Freecomptia.com today. I clicked on the
Network+ section since thats the most recent test that I passed. I
browsed through the questions, and to my surprise most of them were
the same exact ones on the test, word for word. No Joke. So, yeah
Freecomptia.com is definetely the one to study from.

im glad hear all of this, im writing the a+ passport test very soon, and im just touching up on it, i dont want to fail this cause, my mom will kill me( im only in grd 9)
i went to write the A+ certfication and i failed, 630 pages and a whole year of studying. i went from knowing nothing to a-lot. then i failed. i took to long. Im writing the passport cause its shorter. glad to hear thats most of the questions r the same, cause i cant find any practice tests!.
