A+ cert...how hard is it?

[Jason425]

passed the OS test today, 600 is passing i got 636, I cut it too close for comfort. I thought that i'd have a great score since everything seemed so easy.

they just want you to think it's easy

[Jason425]

they fooled me!

Has anyone taken the 220-301 and 220-302 and how hard is it?

I have just recently taken the 220-301 and found it fairly easy. They use a lot of funky wording to try to trick you into a wrong answer if your not paying attention. Take your time reading the questions! I find the reading them twice before you go to answer them solves that problem. 80 questions long and I finished (and passed) the test in only half the time allowed.

All my knowledge comes from hands on experience! Never took a class on it ever! Worked with computers (trouble shooting and building, etc.) for 5 years now. I just need this dumb peice of paper to prove to the world that I know what Im doing... even though half the town already comes to me for help. Go figure

Im taking the 302 tomorrow as a matter of fact

Before I took the exam it took about 72 hours of training, plus the exam.

I took the A+ Hardware and OS exams on the same day. Both exams are nothing more than memorization.
