My employer (after nearly 10 years) has finally mandated that I get a number of certifications (A+/Net+/Server+/MCSE) that never seemed to matter before. Seeing as I've been in the business so long, most of the material should be familiar to me. They want me to start with the CompTIA exams (makes sense to me).
My company did provide me with some training materials along with practice tests, and I've only done the practice tests and have been passing them with 90-95% of the questions correct. This has highlighted a couple of areas where I need some more review (primarily Netware and old-school non PnP tech like IRQ lines and DMA channels), and also gotten me familiar with the somewhat tricky way in which test questions are sometimes asked (i.e., I give you four choices and say pick the 'best answer for the situation', but three of the choices are things that you'd never do and the fourth is something that you would do but is unrelated to the question).
At any rate, the only things that I have been completely unable to find are:
1. How many questions are on each exam?
2. What score is considered passing? If it's 95% then I want to review a little more. If it's 85% I'm just going to knock them out and be done with it.
Obviously, I'm assuming that this isn't an adaptive test.
