CompTIA A+ Study Tips That Actually Work
Let’s be up front with each other about the CompTIA A+ exam for a few minutes. Not very many people are going to put in the time and effort to pass this exam just because they love studying. More than likely, you have to pass this for a new job, to be eligible for a promotion in a job, are a student needing to pass this for a class or to test out of a class, or are looking to take a concrete first step to make a career change into the field of IT. Let’s also assume that you came here to Medium to read this article to get over the hump and pass these exams to get certified ASAP.
Over the course of studying for and passing the CompTIA A+, Network+, and Security+ exams between April and December of 2019, I learned a few techniques that are quite effective.
Study the Right Material
Please do yourself a favor and just go buy the CompTIA Certmaster Practice study material from CompTIA’s site. Life is too short to waste time studying material from secondary sources. I have direct experience tutoring students in both parts of the A+ exam, the Network+ exam, and the Security+ exam, and I cannot tell you how many people come to me after failing the first time after studying material from secondary sources wondering why the real exam did not match up with what they spent their time studying in books or courses.
