My little complaint for the night. ;)

You all know I'm talking the A+/A+OS certs tomorrow. Big deal.

Due to user error, I scheduled the tests BEFORE I went out and bought the study guide...four days ago, and found out how much I don't know. Oops. :Q <--me when I leafed thru the OS portions of the book.

So, for the past three days, I've been cramming like mad. Taking every online test I can find. I do well on the tests (some have a 95% to pass, others have a 70%...I seem to score in the low 90's on both, so I dunno.....) and now I feel so burnt. *insert flame icon*<--we need one!

So, away I plug...plugging away...reading...guessing. Crossing fingers, toes and eyes.


Thanks for reading this far.

MichaelD, when I took and passed my A+, CNA and all six of the MCSE 4.0 tests I was hung over for every one of them. I never failed or had to retake a test. If your test is tomorrow, perhaps you should put the books away and mellow out for the evening. Crack a few and relax. Life is far too short to stress over something like this.

BTW, good luck on your exams. You'll do well, Bud.

I always find the book tests harder than the actual test... but really, A+ is cake... i don't think it can get easier than that.

Thanks guys. I'm going to do a few more practice tests, then that's it for the nite.

I take both tomorrow morning. One at eight, the other at ten. I'm assuming I found out tomorrow if I passed? That would suck if they made me wait like six weeks for the results!

When you finish the test and press the "Finished" button it will tell you immediately if you passed the test and what your score is.

It was that way back in prehistoric times, anyway.
