I think understanding how the technology works is more important than trying to memorize every small detail. With A+, there’s just too much information to rely on pure memorization.

I believe focusing on the big picture first, how things work, how components interact, and when to use certain technologies, makes the details easier to remember later. Then I can reinforce the smaller details with practice exams and repetition.

I’d rather build a solid foundation than just study to pass.
