  • The CompTIA A+ certification can be a hard test. This is how to pass. I used this method for both the 1001 and 1002. I passed on the first try and you can too! If you are wondering how to study for the CompTIA A+ you are in the right place. Below I have linked the different courses and materials that I mentioned above:

    I passed A+ two weeks ago on first try with 750 on the core 1 and 737 on core 2. Honestly the test was alot harder than I tought it would be becuase of the tricky way they format questions. I also had about 4 pbq's on the core 1 which I did not expect or know about. I felt like I focused my studies too much on very technical specifics like the bus rate of dd4. The test was a little more broader than that and really focused on wireless technology and virtual technology. I would definitely get versed in andriod/ios mobile technology and virtual\cloud. core 2 was also really heavy on virtual tech and windows os. You'll need to really memorize how to navigate windows, get versed in diskpart, msconfig.

I am coming with minimal tech experience and my goal is to get into Cyber Security at some level and work my way up to a remote position. I am beginning my studies and truly needed a tested and methodical way to study, and understand how to approach this material.

    I’ve recently started back to college and decided to go into CIS. I graduated with a degree in Business Administration in 2013. Some of my classes carry over into the CIS degree field. With that being said, I’ve never been more confused as I am now. Im taking an intro class and we’re going through the CompTIA material. The book has me so confused. It’s like the terms are being defined by undefined terms. I feel like there needed to be a class before this class. I don’t ever remember being this confused and overwhelmed with my previous college experience. Is it normal to be this confused at first?

      I've read that since CompTIA A+ 1001 & 1002 study guide series expired in Jan 15, 2022, but there's a 6 month grace period for testing. So Mid July would be the approximate time when the exam tests for the 1001/1002 closes permanently. I'm planning to take it in May/June.

    I had to do Testout PC Pro for a class in college, I passed that course with a 93 overall, but I keep failing the A+ practice tests with scores in the 60% range. It's networking, operating systems and cloud that keep knee capping me. Same thing with Security Pro, passed it with a 96 overall and keep failing the Security+ practice tests in the 55-65% range.

      Hi, I just took a class in my school for cyber security that went over security+. The info that they taught us was really general and I had to go a lot deeper to actually get good scores on the practice tests. Before I took my exam, I on average was getting a 90% on practice tests and got a 769 on the real exam. I suggest taking practice exams and using certmaster practice from comptia
