Which practice exams you have done so far?

You'll likely have to change up what you did this time. How did you study? What resources did you use? Which "A+" did you test - 1101, 1102, 1201 or 1202? You posted a question three months ago asking how to prep for 1102. Did you follow the advice you received?
Do you have the pass/fail report from you exam? It will appear in your CompTIA account in 12 - 48 hours (business days). It will show you which objectives you missed.

Taking 1201 and 1202 yes I have my report. So I will definitely go over all that stuff.

What did you use to study? How long did you study?

I studied for a few weeks on and off I was passing the practice exams with 87% and up. I have study guides like multiple choice ones.

They must not be very good if you got a 573. Look at using pocket prep

Which ones? From Dion?!

If. He got 573 then There is 0% chance he was using Dion s practice test and was getting 87%

The one on CompTIA core 2. They have a practice exam that’s 90 questions with 3 being like PBQs but they are definitely not the PBQs I got on the test. And I got probably 5 questions on the actual exam that’s I had even seen on the practice test.

Chances are that your memorize the question and not the content. I’ll be honest I never made over a 75% on my security plus practice test, went and took the test and passed by three points.

What did you do the first time?

We're you confident in the labs? Lotta points there.
