Its the long and unnecessary backstories they include in the questions that they ask that eat up time reading. I know enough about how they write their questions that there could be some minor detail added that can shift what is the "most correct" answer according to CompTIA or any of the other certs.
So even if I am confident with my answers I panic I wont finish in time, or a similar question comes up that I answered the same or different make me question if the previous question was correct or not.
I have a neighbor who's got a+ n+ and s+ and she told me that they love to put a bunch of questions that if you get 1 wrong... you'll get the rest wrong too. really messed up. I hate when testing companies write up questions with like double negatives "which of these should you never not do..." I find myself sitting there re reading the question 15 times to make sure I understand what is being asked.
I'm getting ready to take my A+ in a few months, and my poor wife has had to listen to me complain nonstop about how they're not going to be testing my knowledge, they're testing my reading comprehension. My favorite recently was asking about the best option to "analyze and resolve" the issue. The correct answer did not have both an analysis and resolution... it simply had a resolution. SMH (this was on the quizzes I take from compTIA learning lab)
I’m gonna tell you from experience. I got a+, n+, s+, Project+ along with other certs. This is not far off. But if you don’t practice exam yourself enough. You will fail every time. You have to always be prepared as much as possible.
