CompTIA A+ 220-1201 (Core 1) and 220-1202 (Core 2) Exam Prep

Hi everyone,

Please share your experience for A+ Core1 and Core2 preparation.
Do you think attending TTT series alone is enough?
What materials/sites you used for prep?
How long you took to prepare?
Any specific tips?

Regards
When you ask about "A+ Core1 and Core2 preparation.", are you asking about preparation so that you can take the exam, or so that you can teach it?

Remember that the TTT was never designed to replace full instruction for a candidate who is wanting to take the exam for the first time. TTT was designed to give instructors materials, techniques, and ideas for delivering the content in their own learning environments. While our TTT instructors do a great job, there is the expectation that if you are in the TTT, you already have a good amount, if not all the skills you need to not only take, but teach the material.

From my experience, the TTT series is really useful, but it depends on your goal

If you’re preparing to take the A+ exam: TTT alone is not enough. You’ll definitely need extra resources like practice exams, CertMaster or additional resources to make sure you cover everything and get used to the exam style.

If your goal is to teach or train students: then the TTT series can actually be enough as a foundation, since it gives you the structure to explain concepts, but you should still explore extra materials to give your students richer examples.

Thank you @mohammfor you response.
Good point you mentioned here.
What material or site you used? Or you think it can help?.
What about time frame to prepare?
 
any time !
don't forget to share with us your preparing journey
I guess it is the same for almost everyone.
For me, TTT series was like a road-map to what you should focus on.
The The official platform CompTIA CertMaster Learn & Labs, are the essential material for the details.

Professor Messer’s free video is like summing it up and the final visual notes.

My time frame is 1-2 hours a day for 1 month.
Was ready for the exam, but unfortunately didn't get my voucher yet.

Hope to get it soon, so as not to waste all these efforts.
