Hi , which book should be started to pass A+ Thanks
Try paying an electrician 19 dollars an hour or a plumber, or hvac guy! Yet an IT guy making 19 dollars an hour? Im confused as hell
just starting to study for the a+ appreciate the video any updates with your career journey etc? would love to see some new vids bro
I'm in school right now for A+ and then next semester is Security+. I started with absolutely zero knowledge of IT. Its tough.. a lot of information dumps to memorize and I'm about 6 weeks away from taking both 1 and 2 exams and REALLY nervous.
Great video! I’m new to IT and just taken a cybersecurity course. I’m feeling nervous about sitting the exam but after watching this video I’m feeling so motivated and optimistic that I’ll pass. Much appreciated

i'm at WGU studying for Comptia A+ and I can't tell if I'm ready for the tests or not. There's just so much to study, that even taking practice tests I feel like I don't know enough. But I'm trying to power through at least getting the A+, Sec, and Net since employers find them so important.
I passed my A+ it was a lot of work from me only being a gamer and not really digging deep until I decide to get certified my best advice get the objective study each and every one and check them off I spent a lot of hours I’m on to CCNA and I’m afraid because I don’t have the time I had with my A
Thanj you guys wish i seen this beforeci dropped 20,000 at My computer carrer TO BASICALLY SELF STUDY -_-
Thank you for the great tips!
I currently work for a college IT department as a temp through a temp agency iv been here since October last year so for about 8 months, The college is suppose to be doing budget reviews to see IF they will hire the temps which I really doubt. I like it here a lot and since I started I graduated from the same college I work at with my associates degree in IT and now studying for my A+.. I really like the benefits they offer full time employs but if i don't get a permanent spot here well I don't get the benefits sadly. I'm thinking after I find out what they plan on doing if I don't get hired ima start looking somewhere else.
Good stuff man
hey man! did you take notes while studying or did you just watch the videos? I feel like I remember stuff when I write it down and highlight it and what not. In total how much time did it take you to finish core 1? What about core 2? Jason Dion's 220-110 is 200 videos long! I am barely in video #50. Thank you again!
Im doing a course with a teacher online but im struggling with taking it all in
How long do you have to take exam & how many questions?
Thanks , currently trying to get my A+ and Network+ as well
Congrats man, just started studying for my CompTIA A+ and this gives me extra motivation to keep pushing and keep grinding!
Great video đź‘Ť
jason dion or mike meyers
I don’t know if you’ve heard it enough but congratulations, it takes a lot of dedication. And to whoever hasn’t passed yet we got this 🥳
I’m a Veteran and 41 years old. I find it challenging studying for the A+. Particularly because in the practice quiets after each lesson in CertMaster, they pull certain details that are not so surface level. I’ve been using Jason Dion, and CertMaster. I think CertMaster is not that good of a source but it is my understanding that they pull questions from so I am trying to use the videos as a base and zero in with the CertMaster but I am going to try your method. I have not worked in IT. I work security and have worked surveillance where they let me do so me IT stuff but I’m definitely going to stretch the resume and add things to help me land a job that are entry level related. Once I pass the A+ I hop to start applying to jobs.
Thank you for the video! Is this a good first certification? Or would you suggest getting the CCNA first?
I'm having a hard time finding ways to study, can you drop some Quizlet studies I can use for comptia A+?
How many skills in cybersecurity would you recommend before learning about AI?
Great video
After you finishes a+ was network and sec + that much harder?
I would say Net+ was definitely a much more dense exam, though I went into it with 0 prior experience. The difference between Net+ and Sec+ was not as drastic. There are still many networking concepts covered in the Security+ exam, so the knowledge I gained from Net+ helped a lot in getting the Sec+.
Would you recommend study mostly with professor Messer and Jason Dion? Do you think them two would be enough to pass Comptia A+?
I wouldn't only rely on Professor Messer and Dion. I would take advantage of Certmaster, if possible, to also practice PBQs. If you have a solid understanding of most concepts and technologies covered in the objectives and do reasonably well on the PBQs you will have no issues passing the A+ exams. Use logic and existing knowledge to eliminate less likely answers and make your best guess on the tougher questions.
Dude where do I go to take test. I live out in the middle of nowhere
Can take it remotely
You can also take it remotely through OnVue. Just schedule the exam on CompTIA's website and choose the online option.
@@TheNerdyCodex ohh nice dude ! Yeah that’s bad ass
@@TheNerdyCodex yeah dude studying today, not sure why I’m doing this lol, I’m actually a web developer, but wanna learn IT in general… because another skill set is smart to have. You never wanna stay stagnate in the tech field or you will get left behind
It makes me rage that there aren't more videos like this of people talking about their post game Comptia A= Interview tbh. Well made video brother!!
Thank you for the kind words and for watching!
Good shit brother. Just passed A+ working on Net+ now. Thanks
Great video! Thanks for the tips. They are fantastic. I loved the background track btw
Thanks for your recommendations regarding studying. I’m just studying now for the ITF + to begin. But I will be using your recommendations when I do my A+ exam prep
Good luck! Thanks for watching.
you don't have any affiliate links for udemy
Unfortunately I do not, but I plan to provide those in the future!
Real one, 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Im in the process of take Jason Dion's Udemy Core 1.. I will be watching more of Professor Messer!
I passed the CompTIA A+ core 2 exam. That was the most difficult exam I’ve ever taken and hearing that the Network+ exam is the most difficult is a bit concerning
certmaster learn is a little steep eh ?
What helps me and this is going to be a controversial answer and people are going to be like "That's cheating!" but it's actually very helpful and make great study tools that is using brain dumps. You can go on examtopics to find identical if not the exact same questions that will be on the test including the exact same pbq's (I know because I took core1 and saw them). I strongly advocate for going through the professor messer video course on youtube first to get some knowledge and to understand what you're getting into. This test will require you to memorize some things and I personally use quizlet. Brain dumps will help you familiarize yourself with the wording of the questions and the types of answers you should be choosing. Yes, some answers are going to be wrong. I personally use surepass and it gives you an explanation for the answer. The bottom line is that they make excellent study tools if you use them right and don't just strictly memorize answers. You should watch professor messer and other resources to understand and get a basic foundation of the material. This certification basically shows employers that you're trainable and willing to put in the work and effort to learn. They will train you and teach you what you actually need to know, because most of the scenarios you encounter on that test you will never face in real life. It's completely different.
Congrats brother! Im looking forward on getting my certification.
Major thanks for the PBQ questions tip ! I never thought of that !
Voice is so soothing lol. Yes, please do a resume video next. I’m struggling with that currently
Hey man, so you didn't do much reading? Mostly watched videos?
I primarily watched videos to get the broad overview of info and used the Certmaster reading material, along with the other materials I mentioned, to fill in the gaps. I used a lot of flashcards and wrote physical notes alongside the exam objectives to stay on track and to keep my study sessions structured. Most of my more focused study sessions were dedicated to flash cards, PBQs, and taking notes from various sources.
hello brother , happy to hear you completed the certifications. I am interested in getting my A+ and the other certifications . Where did you get them from and how long it took for you to get them. I am also working full time job .
I attend WGU and the certs are part of the program. It took me roughly 1 month to achieve A+, 4-5 months of on and off studying for Net+, and a few months for Security+, also on and off.
Would you say someone can pass the exam solely by watching Messer’s videos? I’ve been going over the material on certmaster and find it hard to keep on reading as it’s a lot.
I totally resonate with that. It is a lot of material to read and if you are more audio-visual like me, the videos can be a lot more digestible. For me, reading to fill in the blanks and gray areas works best to solidify the material.
At the very least I would go on examtopics to see the types of questions you'll be facing on the test. The answers are identical if not the exact same questions you'll be facing on the exam. I'm not advocating for just memorizing answers, but it will at least give you an idea of what you'll face. The PBQs are also the same that you'll get on it. (Bare in mind the questions on the exam are random and you could get 3-5 pbq's.)
Thanks for sharing! Take care everyone!
Making the effort to start my journey now..started, aimlessly and lost hope..realized I needed the career change and to just take a leap of faith, with a plan..so starting with A+..using material from Messer/a total Seminars/Jason Dion..your video was very encouraging to this journey l that I’m planning to to mark on..
Love to hear this. Good luck and I'd love to hear an update soon!
What flash cards did you use? Are they available to the public?
I used a lot of Quizlet cards and also made my own physically, based on the exam objectives.
Thank you for the video failed my exam by 50pts this video gave me more material too look at.
You’ll get it, good luck!!
Thanks! Great video!
Thanks for watching :)
