A+ cert...how hard is it?

I don't know about it being cake, as nitpicky as it seems I think it would be a hard test.

realistically, how many computer techs these days memorize what IRQs are assigned where or any of the other mini trivia tidbits found in a PC?

I've taken an A+ class, read books, but am scared to test it! It's a shame too, since A+ and Network+ both together can be used as an elective on the MCSA cert.
