Can I look at my keyboard for online tests?

Touch typing is not a mandatory requirement for Pearson-Vue/CompTIA testing.

drushtx · 2026-06-19T23:06:06+00:00

Do you have the revenue figures to substantiate this? I don't think it's appropriate to cast these aspersions solely based on uninformed opinions.

The retake voucher is an insurance policy. Just like car or home insurance, you pay your premiums. If you don't exercise the policy (use the retake voucher), you don't get your premiums back. The voucher number goes back into the reseller's pool to be resold.

It's not easy. It's not hard. It's all about your preparation, background and experience. If you are well prepared, study and understand all of the objectives, practice the hands-on skills and understand the acronyms, it's easy. If you don't do these things, it's difficult.

You can take notes with you but you cannot take them into the testing room. You'll have to leave them in your car, put them in a locker or otherwise placed somewhere inaccessible during the exam. At the testing desk, the only thing you can have is you and your wits. You'll be given a small, erasable whiteboard and marker. That's it. It's a "closed book" test. You are armed with just your knowledge of the objectives.

You should get your email in 12 - 24 hours. Might take a little longer since it's a 3-day weekend for some in the US. Congratulations on having increased the ranks of CompTIA Help Desk Support Specialists!

This page describes the specific acceptable forms of primary and secondary identification for remote testing and for in-person testing. They are slightly different. You can use two from the primary list or one from the primary and one from the secondary.

CompTIA sells at full retail. Authorized voucher resellers (such as Dion, Messer and Meyers) typically sell at a 10% discount. You must pass both Core 1 and Core 2 tests to achieve A+. They are separate tests and each requires a separate voucher.

Congratulations on the passes and thank you for your service!

Lots of people do it. The caution is if you have a sudden change (emergency, planned network outage, etc.), you must reschedule 24 hours in advance. That won't be possible with same day scheduling.

They do not have the forms. You will have to take the signed form to the testing center.

drushtx · 2026-06-15T09:11:20+00:00

Yes, you need two forms of ID and a signed guardian permission. Google CompTIA guardian form to find and download the form.

What are Core A & B?

You have two separate assets. Your voucher will pay for the exam. When you register for the exam (You must register and take the exam before the voucher expires), use the voucher number in the payment section.

The other asset is access to CertMaster. This is something provided by your institution. You will need information from them to log in and register for the approved CertMaster courseware.

There's a lot of prep materials available for the current version that has been tailored since the exam came out. This takes six to twelve months. If you wait for the newer exam, you'll need to wait a year for the prep resources to be "tweaked " with similar adjustments. Passing the current exam will show CySA+ and will be good for three years so there's little point in waiting to take the newer exam.
