32. But I guessed most of them as most of them are about printers (dot matrix and laser printers) and networking terminology.

Yeah the stuff tested on this are fairly old (ex. slave drives) but had things that are still available today (laser printers/dot matrix printers/computer errors).

64... I went on a drunken guessing spree for most part of those questions, lol. I wasn't much into computers when this kind of stuff was standard!  ^_^

Cheers,

Got 50/80 PASS! I took A+ back in 2005 and most of it seemed antiquated then.

Depends what you mean by memory :S, does cache count?

I have never heard of Cyrix nor Quantum. Is that bad?

I got 26 correct, I failed. This is without taking any A+ courses and from personal PC experience and learning. I think i did the worst out of everyone on this thread. :( Also the questions they ask are out dated and most people don't even use allot of the hardware that they ask questions about.

lol, this is more of a history test if anything...

this shows how often education systems get updated, it shows the most in something like computers that constantly updating and getting better.

Is the real thing just as horribly outdated as the practice tests?

Kinda. It's a little more updated... But not by a lot.
