    I apologize if this is the wrong forum but the comparing score forum only had 1 person viewing. I also verified the similar threads that popped up when I typed in the topic didn't cover my questions.

    I plan on taking the comptia A+ essentials on Friday and the 2nd exam later. I have a few questions from my studies.

    - In taking sample questions at comptia.org, all their sample questions were one-answer. But, in taking sample exams at other sites, there are multiple-answer questions. Are there multi-answer questions in this exam? If so, do they specify the number of answers you need to choose? If they don't specify, are their radio buttons vs. checkboxes to indicate they are looking for more than one answer?

    - Will I have to identify pictures of ports/connectors/parts, etc.?

    - Is this an intuitive exam - if you get a question wrong, the computer adjusts and asks you more questions in that particular knowledge area? Or is there a set # of questions (and if so, how many)?

    - Last is about being a member of comptia. There is a discounted voucher price for members. I thought the membership website says you need to pass a test first to become a member. Was anyone able to get membership without passing a comptia test first?

    Thanks in advance for your input!

    There is a combination of everything on the test. I would be surprised if you'll find anybody to share the details with you as that would take some of the challenge away.

    The purpose of this test is to know that you can properly diagnose/troubleshoot, and then implement the solution out in the field without anybody holding your hand...well, at least 90% of the time. If you are trying to create a method just for the sake of the test, so you can simply say you are "certified"...then you might as well not waste your money...that totally defeats the purpose of the the certification. I am the worst with test anxiety, but I did fine...Just make sure you know the stuff really good and you should be fine. :)
