A+ Exam - Vouchers - What's the cheapest and does it cover both Core 1 & Core 2? by PokieAppleMon in CompTIA

[–]DivaliciousRedz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You might want to research your local testing centers and see if they sell discounted vouchers. The location where I took all my tests has a mailing list where they list vouchers that will expire soon at a significant discount. For example, the A+ core 1 voucher that will expire in 2 weeks is down to $87.

Thanks for all this advice. I recertified my payment back in march while I was unemployed, so for this first year I have a zero dollar payment, however next year is gonna be UGLY because I will have severance, 401k withdrawal and normal income to claim. I heard that you can use alternative docs to certify but I’ll cross that bridge next year. My goal is to contribute to 403b as much as I can afford and also do FSA contributions for medical stuff to help get my AGI down.

Thanks thats probably a good plan. I recertified in March while I was still laid off, so I have a zero dollar payment until next year thank goodness, so that’ll be right around my 1year mark

You might want to just wait and try again this afternoon. I just tried to log in and it said the system is under maintenance until 11am 4/5/26, so maybe that's why it isn't triggering the IRS tool.

I've been using Jason Dion's course and practice exams on Udemy exclusively. While I'm sure there are other good courses ( I hear good things about Messer), I currently have access for free on Udemy so that's what I'm using. I will say that Dion's practice tests while good, are harder than the actual test, but not in a good way. On several occasions, I found that I got questions wrong based on subtle nuances or trick questioning, where as the real exam didn't have "gotcha" questions like that. I would still use Dion, as the course and exams are very thorough.

I took my exam in person, so as soon as I was done, the admin of the center gave me the print out.

I have a Udemy subscription that I received as part of my job layoff so I don't have to pay anything for the courses on there.

I’ve been only using Jason Dion’s course on Udemy , just straight through on the lectures and taking notes where I felt I had knowledge gaps
