Passed Linux+ XK0-006

I finally buckled down and took the Linux+ and passed it today. It took some extra study but after I let the 005 get away from me I swore to myself I wouldn't let it happen again. HUGE thanks to @Stephen Schneiter, Jason Eckert's great TTT and the amazing CIN network for the voucher. Watching the expiration timer tick down on it gave me the kick in the pants I needed to finish!

Which option do I pick from the store to get instructor content?

I have a similar question. I'll probably be teaching CompTIA Security+. I'd like to prepare to it and pass the current version of the exam first. How can I download the training materials for this course? I've been certified in MCT and CTT+ since 2011, but unfortunately, I haven't taught CompTIA courses in a while. Could you please tell me what the current procedures are?

Free Linux+ XK0-006 Mock Exam Tool for Self-Assessment

Hey fellow Linux+ candidates 👋

I wanted to share a free resource that’s been super helpful in my prep for the XK0-006 exam:🔗Skunkworks Academy Linux+ Mock Exam Tool

It’s a browser-based readiness tracker that lets you:
  • Run randomized assessments (20–25 questions recommended)
  • Track your best and latest scores locally
  • Identify domain gaps across all exam objectives
  • Export/import your progress between machines
💡 Tip: For a realistic exam feel, set it to “Timed = Yes” and “Show answers = No.”

It’s not a replacement for hands-on labs, but it’s great for quick self-checks and building confidence. If you’ve tried it, I’d love to hear your thoughts or suggestions for improvement!

Happy studying and good luck to everyone aiming for Linux+ 💪
Thank you for sharing.

I have been out of the loop for a while now, but I am planning on getting back in here now.

Do CIN Members Get Discounts on CE Renewal Resources (e.g., Security+ CertMaster CE)?

I can pretty much say that CIN members are not accorded discounts on CertMaster. Those kinds of things would be negotiated through the Partner program. You'll probably want to connect with your Business Development Manager for information on that.
This is well noted.
