That makes sense. My problem is that I've always been in on the user level of all the A+ subjects, but now I'm getting down to the basics and learning from the ground up. The thing that's scary to me is needing to memorize stuff like all the IRQ settings, DMA channels, IO addresses, and (according to the book) the value for the colors on resistors. It's the exactness and detailed memorization that scares me. That, and the fact that I have no idea what the hell an "adaptive exam" is.

Plus, I took one practice exam from somewhere, and one of the questions was something like "which wire(s) in the USB cable carry the data?" That's something I could learn, but my book doesn't say anything about individual wires.

Oh boy, this'll be fun.
