    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.

    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

    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.

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!

    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.

    • @TheNerdyCodex
      @TheNerdyCodex PĹ™ed 3 mÄ›sĂ­ci

      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+.

  • @LoveCisse
    @LoveCisse PĹ™ed 4 mÄ›sĂ­ci

    Would you recommend study mostly with professor Messer and Jason Dion? Do you think them two would be enough to pass Comptia A+?

    • @TheNerdyCodex
      @TheNerdyCodex PĹ™ed 3 mÄ›sĂ­ci

      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.

    @joshua-sd5or PĹ™ed 5 mÄ›sĂ­ci

    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.

    Hey man, so you didn't do much reading? Mostly watched videos?

    • @TheNerdyCodex
      @TheNerdyCodex PĹ™ed 6 mÄ›sĂ­ci

      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.

  • @DaveS615
    @DaveS615 PĹ™ed 6 mÄ›sĂ­ci

    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.

    • @TheNerdyCodex
      @TheNerdyCodex PĹ™ed 6 mÄ›sĂ­ci

      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.

    • @joshua-sd5or
      @joshua-sd5or PĹ™ed 5 mÄ›sĂ­ci

      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.)
