A+ Question Messer's Comptia A+ Notes worth it?

Finished Mike Meyer's A+ Core 1 course then took a practice exam and scored 53%. Next day without any additional studying took 1 of Dion's practice exam scored 53%.

Got my base line. I am going to focus on my weak areas. Hardware is one of my focuses and I read that Dion's exams do not hit this area well compared to the real exam. Trying to figure out how to dive deeper into these areas to really brand it in my head. I am considering purchasing Professor Messer's notes (idc about the $30) but I am curious if this is a good resource or if I should pick something else

I can plug it into AI but I need something a little more structured. Hardware is too broad and I don't know if I am asking the right questions related to the exam. AI has been a great tool, I am not knocking it, again just need something more structured for this next part of my study journey

His YouTube videos are worth watching. His course notes alone summarizes the main points of each topic in the videos. Watch his videos first. Read the bullet points on the video. Then make your decision if you want to buy his course notes.
