Passed A+ OS test today

I will say that there were a lot more hardware-related and customer-service-related questions than most of the practice tests have. After about 10 hardware questions, I went back to the coordinator to make sure I was taking the right test.

717 points, passing is ~550 points.

Taking the hardware test on Monday.
 
when i took the A+ the dinosaurs ruled the earth and all you had to do up and show up and have a pulse. is it still like that?
 
There were a number of difficult questions where all of the answers are correct, but you need to choose the best or most appropriate for the situation. And there were some Win2k/XP pro questions, so it's not totally outdated.

Is the test graded as you leave the room?

It's taken on a computer, so it is immediately graded. Though, there was a survey to fill out before it graded it, was kinda anxious having to take a survey not knowing what was my grade.

People have to start somewhere.
After you finish the A+, get your Network+

Oh I have 10 years experience, but employers in this area are requiring A+ because of the enormous competition for the few IT jobs in this market. And you're right, Network+ is the next cert I'm getting, hopefully within a few weeks.
