I posted some practice questions for the 901/902 in this thread, and I think those were nearly similar in rigor to my experience. The ""Performance"" based questions I see in the pdf are spot-on. I wouldn't expect too many of those. Otherwise, this is pretty much representative of the real thing. If you got something wrong, then look back at the exam objectives. Everything you are expected to know is on the objectives, and you should be able to give a very high-level explanation of the terms or concepts listed. Technically there's no "scope" to the exam because CompTIA says they're not a "comprehensive listing".I am finally scheduled to take the first part of the A+ exam next Friday. No, seriously. For real.
I have a PDF of the practice exam right here and was wondering if anyone who has taken the A+ could take a look at that and let me know if the actual exam is more-or-less the same as far as how they set up questions.
But they basically are. You really only need the "first line of the Wikipedia" level of understanding for most of these. If you got something wrong because it wasn't on the objectives, or because your course didn't get into the specifics for you to know that question, then I wouldn't sweat it. I am sure you will do fine if you've been studying!
