PenTest+ Students have fewer labs than instructors

I prepared to teach PT0-003 using the CertMaster instructor materials, which have 44 labs. The CertMaster PT0-003 student materials have only 28 labs. CompTIA customer service did not have any information on this.

Does anyone here know why the CertMaster PT0-003 student and instructor materials don't have the same labs?

Yes true the CertMaster Perform PenTest+PT0-003 is about 27/28 Labs at my last check yesterday - but my access is via https://platform.comptia.org/

havnt checked up the student version or which instructor material you are referring too. I guess maybe that will help clarify for persons that have different access depending on the type of access you have

I might come back here to compile the list of the labs - if we have the others - a comparative analysis can be done to see the differences if any

Also the migration and upgrades can be a cause of these differences

Thanks.

Thanks Victor!

I am trying to find the version number of the materials we are using. They just say "CertMaster Perform PenTest+Exam PenTest+ PT0-003". I don't see a version number.

I am also trying to find out how CompTIA notifies instructors when changes are made to these books and labs. I don't know how to tell if any errors in the book or labs have been corrected. For PT0-002, the errors in the original release of the books were still there when PT0-002 was retired.

There is only one version of CertMaster PT0-003 as far as I, the training center, and CompTIA customer service knew. However it seems we were all mistaken. I would like to know if there is any documentation explaining the difference in the CertMaster PenTest+ PT0-003 materials from these four sources:
platform.comptia.org
login.comptia.org
learn.comptia.org
labsimapp.testout.com
