  • Question
Practice questions for an A+ exams 220-1101/1102

Does anyone have a good list of questions to use in a classroom for a A+ 220-1101/1102 practice tests?
I do use the questions at the end of each chapter of the CertMaster Learn, but want to be able to printout and use to see how the students are learning.

  • Question
Updated Certmaster Labs for Security+ 701

Question about timing. I know that the new 701 test will be available on November 7th and that the 601 exam will be retired on 7/31/24. Our current cybersecurity course uses the 601 book and the CertMaster Labs for Security+. I am trying to determine if we need to make the change to the 701 content for the spring semester or if the 601 book and 601 related CertMaster Labs for Security+ will continue to be available through early 2024?

When will the 701 related CertMaster Labs be available for students?

Just trying to determine if I'm going to be able to have my students use both the 601 book and Certmaster Labs for spring or if we need to move to the 701 book and Certmaster Labs for spring.

Thanks!

Help- Filling out Virtual Submission Forms, and....

Hi everyone.

I'm going to be submitting my video I'm doing over the weekend on Monday, and I see on the form in part A, that they ask for a CompTIA Member/Partner Number, which is a 6 digit number. I am not working for anyone right now, and I suspect that is for whomever your employer is. They would have a CompTIA member number? If I don't have one, does it mean I can't finish this process? If I need one, do you know if there's a way for me to quickly obtain one?

Thanks,

DL Ross

Network+ or A+?

Hey, hey, hey you all! I, too, am sharing that I passed my A+ last week!!! On to studying for the Network+ next.

Question...I wanted to confirm something that I was told about the CompTIA exams. I was told that if you jump to the Network+ exam and pass it, you would basically have the A+ incorporated, or something like that? I'm looking for the best way to advise my students that have completed prep for both A+ and Network+. Of course, I will also speak with them to see what preference they each have, but I wanted to get some expert opinions. Should they jump right to Network+ and not worry about going back to take A+ also? I've heard Network+ is easier since it's more focused.

Thoughts??
