If you read my thread below ("Big Problem!"), you notice how I was freaking
out because VUE signed me up for 220-231 and 232 (2003 A+ Core and OS). I
was freaking out because I could not reschedule since my test was the next
day of my sign up and I only found out that night and the offices were
closed for me to do any rescheduling.

The day started with me arriving at the test site 15 minutes prior to the
time (as instructed), but the office did not open until 30 minutes AFTER my
test was scheduled.

I sat down and looked at the screen and it was indeed the new test (2003
objective for A+ Core and OS numbered 220-231 and 220-232).

The test had pretty much the same questions as the 2001 exams except the
Hardware one had more SCSI and USB questions while the OS had more Windows
XP questions. I finished each exam in 30 minutes each. There were 80
questions and I had 90 minutes to complete the exam. The passing score was
467 for both exams and I received an 860 on Core and 900 on OS.

For the core, there were many questions on laser printers, IRQ and addresses
so make sure to memorize those before you take this exam.

The OS was very easy and they asked alot of questions on difference between
FAT16, FAT32 and NTFS. Most of the questions; however, were just "how to get
to properties" type of questions so if you have used Windows in your daily
business, then you should not have any problems with them.

So yeah, I took both 2003 exams today and I passed!
