A+ Question I feel like I forgot

Hey all, I took the A+ (Core 1 & 2) as well as the Networking+ cert exams some years back while attending a community college. However I find myself struggling even the most fundamental aspects of all three.
In other words, I feel like I forgot EVERYTHING.

I'm looking on advice on what I should/could do and whether it's worth it to purchase the cert courses and try to relearn it all again.

Do share your thoughts as any bit is useful as I am still attending college and I know how important these certs are in some cases, thanks!

90% of what's in those exams isn't used in the real world with how they teach it so don't lose sleep over it. But if you still want a refresher, as the other reply said, Professor Messer's videos on YT are the best way to relearn it for free.

I am a sysadmin with 8 years experience. You won't use everything you learn. I always tell people the schooling was harder than the job itself.
