Finally took OS Test... passed it!

Hi all,

I just wanted to share with the group the relief I feel now that I've passed
the OS test with such a hurry. Well, I had already passed the Hardware test
(2001 objectives) almost two years ago and I had been putting the OS off
until now. I just found out about the deadline set by CompTIA to be able to
still do the 'mix and match' of 2001 and 2003 objectives by the June 30th a
couple weeks ago, so I had to do this no mater what. I guess there may be a
lot of people in the same hurry I was.

Procrastination... big problem...

Anyway, 90% of my study came from reading the OS chapters, including DOS and
DOS/Memory, and networking in Mike Meyers' All-In-One A+ Certification 4th
Ed. book, and parcticing with the tests in the book CD. The rest was by
doing the practice tests posted on freecomptia.com.. I did all the studying
this weekend and I was glad it all made sense as I was reading, well I've
been on the field part time so the experince helped a lot.

For those of you in the same situation I was, good luck. The test was
relatively easy. Some questions included TCP/IP, POP, SMTP port numbers
that I dont remember seeing in the book or the practice questions. The 4th
edition of Mike's book did not include XP specific stuff, and there were
quite a few questions about XP were I could do educated guessing... I hope I
got them right, maybe because I passed with a 755.

I visit this newsgroup every once in a while and find it very nice. Keep
posting problems/solutions. I've learned a lot here.
