test study questions

| I have just registered to take my Core Hardware Exam on August 2nd, and I
was wondering if anyone had any pointers on what areas are stressed on the
exam, so that I know what to put more emphasis on when studying over the
next week. I have read through the Mike Myers A+ 5th edition, and I am also
using the A+ Certification series from Learkey. The area I am having
problems with are the ATA standards, and SCSI. I have not yet really put
much emphasis on networking, but plan to focus on that as well. Any study
tips would be appreciated.

| There's a large "luck" element here. The question pool is large -- not
sure how large, but certainly over 1,000 questions (and perhaps several
times that large). When the test center downloads your test, it's made
up of questions chosen at Random, no two tests are likely to be
identical, or to even contain more than a few of the exact same
questions at all. So one person might get a "printer-heavy" test,
another a "laptop heavy" test, a 3rd a "CPU heavy" test. Presumably the
software that makes up the exams forces a reasonable mix of questions in
some manner, but you have to be prepared to cover the entire range of
material, because you don't know what's going to be on your exam.

| Yes the pool is actually 4000 questions. I passed my A+ Hardware a few weeks
back. It covered pretty much all topics in one way or another. As the
previous poster said, you may get more questions on one topic than another.
The safest way is the have a solid understanding of all topics. I am sitting
my A+ Software next week. I passed my hardware with score of 640 which I was
happy with. Good luck mate.
