How to pass the A+ exam

This is a guide on how to successfully study and pass the CompTIA A+ exam

Things You'll Need

• Computer
• Study time

Instructions

1. The A+ exam certification is based off two exams (hardware and software). Read at the CompTIA website to gain the basic overview of what will be tested.

2. Begin studying for the exam by purchasing a A+ study guide. This will give a fairly accurate layout of what you will be tested on and "common questions" that will be asked.

3. Take an online practice exam to gauge your comprehension. If you are at 70% or lower (after taking 3 rounds of them), i would recommend following steps 4 and 5. If you are above, go ahead an take the test. You should pass the exam without any problems

4. Purchase a "brain dump". These are designed to be almost completely accurate to the real exam. After reading through and studying the material, take another round of practice exams. If you are above 70% pass, i would take the real exam right away.

5. Last option is to go to a "technical training boot-camp" that offers A+ certification. These boot-camps cost quite a bit but they almost guarantee passing the exam. I would leave this as the absolute last option.

Tips & Warnings

• Make sure to have consistent time to study. Make it a habit to study the material.

• The night before the exam, make sure you get plenty of rest and dont do a late night "cram" session

• Brain dumps are highly frowned upon in the industry. If you do pass while using a brain dump, do not share it with anyone.
