Thank you guys for the congrats!
Yes it was the real exam so I am A+ and Network+ Certified now. Actually when I took the A+ test last year I failed the easier part lol, that being the Hardware. As far as I know though the new A+ test is not separated into a Hardware and Software section anymore, its like a core exam of both and then you have like 4 different areas you can choose from to take for the second exam.
The only thing I can tell you to really study up on are the IRQ's and COMs and all that, and the the steps of the laser printer cycle, those were what really threw me off on the exam the first time I took it.
