It is a memory test

Don’t stress it. Keep resources minimal. Note: I would like to emphasize that this is mostly a memory test. Don’t stress it, keep your resources minimal to streamline the learning process.


Videos

  • Watch the videos but do not take notes

  • Actively watch - No distractions


Practice Tests - First Round

  • Take the practice tests the first time - Note your scores
  • Reread all questions and see what you got wrong

Practice Tests - Review Rounds

  • Go back and learn material that you do not understand
  • Retake tests until your score is ~90% Notes: Use Google and ChatGPT to reinforce knowledge Be sure to confirm sources!

Video Material

Professor Messer - YouTube Channel Notes: For video material, I highly recommend Professor Messer’s YouTube Channel. He has curated playlists for CompTIA for free.



Practice Tests

Jason Dion - Udemy

Notes: For practice tests, I recommend Jason Dion’s practice tests on Udemy. Make sure to purchase them when they are on sale since Udemy always has sales which are more affordable than the full price.



Test Day

  • Don’t stress it.
  • You already studied as much as you could
  • If taken at home, clean up to avoid issues

Question Strategy

  • Leave the Performance Based Questions (PBQ) last
  • Flag any questions you are second guessing
  • Read questions thoroughly before answering

Summary

  1. Watch the videos

  2. Take the initial round of practice tests

  3. Review material you do not understand

  4. Take the practice tests until score is ~90%
