When I took it not too long ago I didn't see any resistor color code questions in any pratice test or the real test. They did still have the IRQ / DMA crap.

I agree the thing is pointless but I got reimbursed for the test fee and 500.00 to take it. I think A+ is used more as a sales tool than to prove that you know anything about computers. Like now best buy advertises our techs are A+ certified. They are still too stupid to install ram but they took the test anyway.
