    TTT Soap Box: Breaking the Ice!

    I ask "What is your compelling WHY in taking this class?" Students need some time to digest the question and then issue a response. Patience is a virtue on this one.

    Is a new A+ Cert needed to train?

    Another factor is...can the teacher present the content in a form the students can digest? I've seen some teachers both in person and online who speak so fast they lose students. The students report the instructor was talking over their heads or talking too fast to be understood. Just another...

That may prove true with open book tests too. You have to know your stuff before you walk in there. Too much...

    Will "open book" mean you can carry books into the test center, or will you have access to a few websites where you can verify answers?

    Preview of the new Security+ SY 701
