Please bear in mind that the less questions you have in your practice test, the higher the pass rate is so don't worry if it says you've failed, even if you get 8 questions correct out of 10.

I used to do short 5 questions and you would literally have to get 5/5 to get it to pass.

I would say if you're getting more than half correct, you should be fine.

 

Dont get me started on why Mike Meyers book is the worst study tool ever..

 

How come mate? I loved Myers A+ and N+ personally.

 

@Jaron78 and @JK2447 Ok, well I can only speak on his last two A+ books, as I've not looked into his N+ content...as a book to sit down and read over a period of 10 years, its good! but as a study tool that you need to pass the A+ its terrible, its filled with so much fluff that you will endup missing valid points, one section I remember was literally every single detail on how RAM works and then he goes on to discuss a whole family and history of RAM for a solid 10 pages before ending it in "you wont need these details to pass the exam". I really like his Udemy courses (I specifically logged in tonight to watch his A+ videos) but his All-In-One book is just not what you need for the exam.. I really don't want to read 5 thick pages on the history of RAMBUS. I think if you have never done more than browse the net on a PC then maybe its a good book for you to just read, but as an exam tool I really don't think its a good book. This is just my opinion I'm sure many would disagree..

 

Fair enough mate.

His Udemy videos are great.

 

Yeah currently going through his hardware content.. makes more sense now I actually work in IT.. the networking parts is what will get me I recon.

 

I always put networking off mate. Subnetting for example scared the life out of me.

Wish I had done it sooner. Any questions, you know where I am

 

Thanks, just noticed you have your A+, do you remember the resources you used?

 

Messer for the Videos and Meyers for Book mate

 

Yeah I will be heading for Pro Messer videos after I'm done with the Meyers ones, I also have certblaster practice software, messers notes and his 700 pdf practice exam questions.. before taking the exam were you already working in IT? this is my first current role where I deal with hardware, my last job was application support, didn't really touch any hardware tbh.. a drop of networking was involved but it mainly involved correcting small-scale DNS issues.

 

No mate, I had no IT experience at all.
Was my first Qualification, then got a job based off of that.
