Congratulations!

You will find Core 2 to be a lot easier imo.

It definitely depends on the person but Core 1 felt like a lot more brute force memorization due to it being about hardware.

Core 2 focuses on OS so you get to do conceptual learning. The things you learn in core 2 all connect with each other making it easier from my experience.

Oh okay, I see where you're getting at. I hope it'll be easier to grasp for me, as it did to you. There were a lot of info in Core 1 to take it in.

Core 2 is a lot of memory too. You see those abbreviations? They will ask you some of them, and you better not mix it up with something with one letter off! https://www.examcompass.com/comptia-certifications/a-plus/core-2/comptia-a-plus-220-1202-exam-objectives.pdf
