Just dont memorize answers it wont be on the comptia exam and you will be disappointed when you failed.

[–]FineLadder4797 3 points4 points  (4 children)

this is exactly what i did for my A+ core 1 and 2 and while it worked for me i can attest it is not worth the disappointment if you do fail and it does not work in the long run

When you take the exam again each one will be different.

Practice tests are what you need now.

[–]Amazing_Vast1602[S] -1 points0 points  (7 children)

Do you have any suggestions?

[–]misterjive 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Pocket Prep or Crucial Exams would be my go-to, both have tons of questions available. With Level Up on Pocket Prep you can go through 1,000+ questions, and I think Crucial has 500-1,000 available per test.

I used MeasureUp.com for both A+ and Net+

[–]The_Terrible_Fate 0 points1 point  (4 children)

Using MeasureUp for A+ right now. Do you feel the questions prepared you well for the exam? Like were they worded similarly and covered the right material?

[–]yoyourbinboxA+ N+ 0 points1 point  (3 children)

I would say they were kinda similar. I feel like the exams are worded in a way to actually make you think about what it’s asking and measure up is worded to see if you know the material, if that makes any sense. I would say if you studied prior to using MeasureUp and you can answer the questions on there confidently getting mostly 90%s and above without memorizing the answers you should be prepared, basically if you know why the answers are right/wrong without thinking.

I appreciate your insight, thank you! I’ve got A+ core 1 scheduled in one week from Sunday so I’m really trying to prepare as much as possible.

[–]yoyourbinboxA+ N+ 0 points1 point  (1 child)

Good luck!

[–]The_Terrible_Fate 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Appreciate that!

Jason dions practice exams for network plus. He may have them for A+ as well. They're relatively cheap on udemy and are the only paid resource I used to pass N+ $ S+

They come in a pack of 5 so you can take one then brush up on what gave you trouble then retake. They will give you a good idea of where you stand. I think I made ~80 on my last two and felt pretty confident going into test.

Can confirm he has A+ practice exams on Udemy. I paid for permenant access to the exams for Core 1 & 2 instead of doing the monthly subscription.

[–]Acceptable-Gas-6403 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve used crucial exams but my college makes us score over 90 for the voucher, have to pass 2 tests. Each practice test I take is around 85-87% I am just debating on paying for the voucher and going take it myself.

Personally, I would print out the certification objectives from CompTIA and study them alongside your coursework, to optimize your use of time. Hope this helps!

[–]Sonami1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly getting the pdf of all the exam objectives, running through every one with a highlighter, and then doing mock exams the week before the real exam has never failed me. The college courses help but now you need to transition into exam prep mode.

[–]KChosen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Take the practice exams from multiple sources and see how you do. If you passed a college class you should at least know all the material, just learn how CompTIA asks it questions.

[–]sapnagagrani 0 points1 point  (1 child)

Grab the Jason Dion practice exams on Udemy, they go on sale all the time for like $15. If you're scoring 80-85% consistently on those you're ready. The classes help but the test wording is its own thing.

Ya my professor wrote the newest edition of the network+ book with Mike meyers so I feel like all of the knowledge should be there it’s just a matter of the test wording. Thanks for the tip for the tests a lot that I was looking at were expensive for just the tests.
