Should I be worried at all about this exam? Spent about 10 minutes browsing over some notes and got a 67 and 69 respectively via Peterson's...
Got a 49 yesterday(American Lit) :mad:
So I'm a little gun shy...
How does the Peterson's compare with the actual exam?
In the exam feedback section some guy said It was more difficult than the Practice test.

The Intro to Comp exam is easy money.
It's basic computer lingo.
what is a processor speed measured in?
megabytes
kilobytes
mp3
megahertz
If that sounds like a silly question, you will do fine on the exam.

The Petersons are pretty accurate for this exam. If you're scoring high 60's you'll pass this test. This exam was updated recently, and I believe the Petersons practice tests are geared towards the updated version. There's a few really easy ones like sizes, but there's several weird/difficult questions as well. I put my feedback on the specific exam section so you can see from there, but you should do just fine. If I remember right the 3rd Petersons Practice exam is the closest to the real thing...

Just to let you know my experience, I scored an 81, 70, 70 on the practice exams and a 63 on the actual exam. I agree that the exam must have been updated but don't think that Petersons reflected the changes. There were a lot more questions than I expected about programming. I felt pretty comfortable taking the practice exams but sweated through the actual exam.

Got a 450 on this one...the Peterson's exams are as close to the real thing.
No programming question on my version of the exam. Maybe like 3 questions on databases...

I just took this exam a few hours ago...
I got 61, 61, and 64 on Peterson's practice tests, and I got a 63 on the actual axam.
The questions on the exam were a little bit harder than the practice ones in my opinion.
I used InstantCert + 2 books from the library (Computer Science Made Simple by V. Anton Spraul and Principles of Computer Science by Carl Reynolds/Paul Tymann).
