Need Help related to CompTIA A+ Core 1 Simulation

Without re-watching the TTT, my guess then is that it was the older testout platform that is being rolled up into CertMaster products. There are lots of labs like the one I showed in there and they are really good for student practice. Personally I still prefer the hardware stuff in person rather than virtual, but there really are some exceptional labs in CertMaster.

  • Question
Do CIN Members Get Discounts on CE Renewal Resources (e.g., Security+ CertMaster CE)?

Hi everyone,

I’m a member of the CompTIA Instructor Network (CIN) and I’m planning my CE renewals. Before I purchase any continuing education resources, I wanted to ask:

Do CIN members receive discounts on CE renewal materials or tools?
For example, the Security+ CertMaster CE is currently listed at around $200 — is there an instructor discount available through CIN for this or similar products?

If there are specific procedures or promo codes that CIN members should use to access these discounts, I’d really appreciate details.

Thanks in advance!
Nick

TCEA Convention & Exposition in San Antonio

For those heading to the TCEA Convention & Exposition in San Antonio next week, be sure to drop by our StackFord booth #1963.

If you are an IT teacher, we are also right around the corner from CompTIA. Jared will be at the booth, great guy. I worked with him while I was in the classroom, and he was amazing to my students and me.

Free Linux+ XK0-006 Mock Exam Tool for Self-Assessment

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+ 💪
