Kind of makes sense from a cost cutting stand point, but wasn't CompTIA just purchased by a company? Their going to nickle and dime little stuff more than likely going forward.

Hey fellow Linux+ candidates

I wanted to share a free resource that’s been super helpful in my prep for the XK0-006 exam:Skunkworks Academy Linux+ Mock Exam Tool

It’s a browser-based readiness tracker that lets you:

• Run randomized assessments (20–25 questions recommended)
• Track your best and latest scores locally
• Identify domain gaps across all exam objectives
• Export/import your progress between machines

Tip: For a realistic exam feel, set it to “Timed = Yes” and “Show answers = No.”

It’s not a replacement for hands-on labs, but it’s great for quick self-checks and building confidence. If you’ve tried it, I’d love to hear your thoughts or suggestions for improvement!

Happy studying and good luck to everyone aiming for Linux+
