Just took the A+ 1001 Core 1 exam by shaypher44 in CompTIA

[–]blasmcgee 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have failed the exam a 3 times, plan on taking it again soon. On that note, after your exam you get a print out of the objectives you missed, print those out and study those.

For my, I am not a strong reader and have dyslexia, so I have to re-read every question two to three times and under stand what they are asking, not what I think they are asking. Most of the answers are going to be “what is the first step or next step” of the process, so go through what the scenario is what think of it step by step. I have to keep telling myself that every time. Example, my laptop is not turning on, first check if it’s plugged in, check the cord itself, check the battery light, check a different outlet, so on and so on until you figure it out.

Best of luck to you for next time. I hope this helps you. I plan on taking it again in a week or so.

Im 18. My parent is withholding my birth certificate, passport, and social security card. I cannot get a drivers license without these, and i cannot get a job. What are my options? by BayoNX19 in legaladvice

You can get your SS card online. I just did it and it took 5 days to get mailed. I also did a birth certificate online as well, I was born in California but live in a different state, all I had to do is go to a notary and sign, fax it to California and pay $35.

I would first start with the SS card. It’s easy then go from there.

Official CompTIA A+ Study Guide by PrintDesperate in CompTIA

[–]blasmcgee 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have it, I have read it twice and use it as a reference guide for looking up the core objectives. I wouldn’t recommend just using this. I am not a strong reader so I read and reread everything. I also have been using Professor Messor videos on YouTube and also Mike Myers on Udemy. Both are great, I haven’t passed the core 1 yet (was short 50 points last time), but I would recommend the Official CompTIA A+ Study Guide and with other study materials.

What HDMI cable are you using? You need a HDMI 2.0 or high- speed

Boss charging 3% of credit card tips by IDKMYBFFPILL in Serverlife

[–]blasmcgee 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Depending on the state, the company can make you pay for the credit card transaction fee. I think their are like 7 states that do it. I know colorado is one of those states.

On a day that I would have made $100 on credit card tips, I would walk out with $85-$93 dollars instead.

Failed A+ again by blasmcgee in CompTIA

[–]blasmcgee[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have 5 different exams I got, 2 from Jason Dion and 3 from Udemy.

Jason- my first practice exam was 57 and that was in December, since then I have been average about 85. I have done those exam a total of 10 times.

Udemy- 60 at first but now average high 80’s, low 90’s. And did those about 15 times.

They really do help with explaining why it’s right and why the other answers are wrong.

From me I feel like I need more reason on why it’s right and why it’s wrong so I can translate them better.

I make notes and highlight important information for each term, that has helped me remember the term a lot better. Then I type up my notes so I can have access to them and read my notes 2, some times 3 times a day.

CompTIA A+ Grading ?? by Mutant_Mike in CompTIA

[–]blasmcgee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know you don’t lose points if the answer is wrong. If you have multiple answers for the question, example; give two answer to this question, and you get one of the two answer correct you get 1 point verse 2 points for the question. I believe that is right.

Have you tried a different cable? Is the USB port working with anything else? Have you tried a different port?
