    An A+ History question

    Has A+ always been two exams? I first achieved A+ certification in 1998 and my exam codes were 220-002 and 220-003. I find it odd that that doesn't follow the *1 and *2 pattern that we're used to now and it makes me wonder if the original A+ was a single exam--maybe 220-001. (FWIW, it's...

    Meyers: Sec+ 601 retirement date pushed back to December 2024 instead of July

    https://www.totalsem.com/blog/comptia-certification-news-you-dont-want-to-miss/ CompTIA's site still says July, but I doubt that Meyers is making this up. I just wish that CompTIA would add a confidentiality clause when they tell the big-time instructors news like this first until they can...

    Passed XK0-005 on the last day of my TTT voucher's validity ?

    It's been an incredibly busy and haphazard last few months and I just hadn't had the time or headspace to go back and review. Finally speed-ran back through both the TTT and the Dion course and managed to pass yesterday with about six hours of validity left on the voucher. ?

    CySA+ CS1-003 beta results coming in.

    Happened to be looking at my CompTIA/Pearson account today and decided to peek at the status of the CySA+ beta I took in December. I saw the words "Status: Pass". (?) Looked for it under score reports to verify and it's true. I haven't received an official email yet and it's not appearing in my...

    Multiple CertMaster accounts?

    Asking this as a student, rather than as an instructor... I have a CertMaster account under my personal e-mail address, where I access my CertMaster CE and TTT/Instructor Guide materials. I'm also starting a bachelor's program which uses CertMaster, and I just received an email to my university...

    Hypothetical question re: beta vs. soon-retiring exams

    Let's say someone takes a beta exam in January. They then take the soon-to-be retired version of the same exam in March before they even get the result of the beta in May. What are the possible scenarios? Does anyone know for sure? (It's not entirely hypothetical. Someone on reddit said they're...

    A+ certified x2 (GFL+CE), and just 25 years between them!

    Got my 1102 TTT voucher on Thursday afternoon and took the exam at pretty much my first opportunity--which happened to be this morning at 12:45 am. ? Passed with a 761 after just a quick run-through of all of the practice questions on the Official Instructor Guide. I didn't go too hard with...

    Passed 220-1101 last night and now chomping (champing?) at the bit for 1102!

    Took Core 1 last night at home with an 8:30p exam time. I taught the 1000 series for a non-profit from January until June of this year as a full-time instructor and now I'm with that same non-profit as a part-time IT tutor. I currently hold the Net+ CE and Sec+ CE certs, plus A+ GFL from 1998...

    One of my A+ students just passed 220-1001 with a score of...

    ...881. ??? You guys have all been at this longer than I have, so you might've seen scores like that before, but it's a first for me. I can't really take credit bc he's literally smarter than I am, but I'm proud nonetheless.
