Might I recommend a site http//www.techexams.net - it is an excellent resource for CompTIA and other certs. I used it when I prepped for my A+, Network+, Sec+ and others.

Did you memorize alot of stuff ? Did the exam require you to have memorized everything ?
I find myself answering alot of the practice questions correct but then i feel that the actual exam will be a notch or two higher then the practice ones lol is this true?

Memorize stuff like USB, Wifi, SCSI speeds. Laser Printer Process is a biggie. Basically, learn everything that would have little to no bearing on actually fixing and troubleshooting computers.

I found that the exam was much easier than the practice exams. I used a handful of different exams (Transcender, Sybex, Exam Cram, and the one from Jean Andrews book) and all of them were more in depth and difficult than the exam I took. To me, the exam seemed more like a difficult computer literacy test. It literally asked me where you install an OS (hard drive, CD drive, or floppy disk). There were only 1 or 2 questsions as hard and in depth as the practice tests.

This was of course my experience. A randomly generated test means I could have had one of the easier ones. Thus, my philosphy remains to over-prepare (read everything, take every test, memorize everything) rather than just prepare. Do your sweating before the test, rather than during.
