My situation is a bit overwhelming. I attend class from 0900 to 1300 Monday to Friday, then immediately get ready for work (Shower, Food, etc.). Start work at 1400 and don't stop until finished which, on a good day, is around 2300 or so and, on a bad day, don't finish until 0000, 0100 and sometimes even 0200. My work schedule is Sunday through thursday usually working 55-65 hours a week. Devoting time to class while working is a bit rough, but doable, but then doing homework, exam practice, labs etc. really cuts into my time. Some days I'm unable to get much sleep, 5-6 hours if I'm lucky, and by the end of the week, I'm so exhausted and use Friday after school and Saturday to recover and get ready for the next week. Last Friday I was suppose to take my Certification Exam, but was told 20 minutes prior to the exam that it had to be canceled due to not taking the "Pre-Exam" prior to taking the actual Exam. I spoke to my instructor after failing CompTIA A+ 1101 test exam about that, and how I did on the exam and explained my situation, and she stated that i should've been contacted prior to the exam, which I wasn't. She helped me come up with a plan on where to go to from here and I intend to do just that. Fortunately we have next week off for the Thanksgiving Holiday, so that should help me catchup and get ready to retake the CompTIA A+ 1101 Exam again with a passing grade. I feel that anybody who is considering taking this or any ACI courses should know that outside the 4 hour classes should devote at least an extra hour or 2 each day to reinforce what they've been taught and practice practice practice...

another step in the direction of gainful employment.

Course is fine, having to switch instructors in the middle was very hard. as they both had different approaches to teaching
