Some of the questions have topics that arent explained in the CompTia study guide or Darril Gibsons book. Such as Software Testing Validation...the question mentions blackbox testing, sandox testing etc....and asked what is the developer doing? Why couldnt the answer just be Testing? instead the answer was 'Validation'. That didnt make sense to me. That terminology is not in any guide i have read. and also the question regarding CPU load where it was almost maxed and caused degradation in performance....the answer was 'memory leak" where nowhere in the question memory was mentioned, but "resource exhaustion" was one of the answer choices. I failed with a 72 which is not awful, but I feel some of the questions i missed were because of the question not having enough information

Passed on the first try. Found these practice tests very helpful. Learning from multiple sources is always the best way to go about learning.

very lazy explanations to missed questions (text copied from wikipedia). Also, does not give you a review breakdown (score you got each section). I dont feel he put much effort into making this exam

A lot of these questions seem to imply situations that are not explicitly explained.
