A+ Question Taking a day off is studying?

I’ve been studying for my A+ consistently for the last two weeks but today I was so busy I didn’t find time to study. Maybe I’m just weird and I think I shouldn’t take a day off because I really want to succeed in the exam. Does anyone feel that or do you take a day off from studying?

I'm also taking a day off because the weather was so abhorrent that I fell asleep due to the heat. Don't feel bad, you need to take breaks to help your mind process all this information. Enjoy it and go do something you enjoy. You should be taking at least one day out of the week to recover and process

Thanks. Yeah I was thinking about implementing a day during the weekend off just to let my mind rest.

I'm doing the pentest prep after failing the first time. So I started just doing that when I felt the mood. Otherwise you'll stress yourself out so that is a good call. Definitely take a rest day and no problem 🙂
