What seems to be giving you so much trouble? How are you doing on the practice tests?

I kill it on the practice tests
I think CompTia words the questions so weird you'll think two of the answers are correct.

That's most IT certs. They try to test if you really know what they are asking or not. Strange that you are doing well on the practice tests but failing on the actual test. What domains are giving the most trouble?

You have time, are you taking the A+ as one comp test or the two separate tests.

I think taking the test separately is the best routin top of that do you really know the content or have you studied to know the test
I would say you would be better off knowing the content so if you can buy a cheap laptop and computer from a pawn shop and really play with motherboards and the internals .

Sorry for the late response. It looks like the hardware portion got you good. Do you have access to any physical hardware (doesn't have to be working). I found that being able to play with the various components helped me a lot when I took the A+. You were pretty close to passing this last attempt, if you could just get a little more familiar with hardware you should be good.
