@Shahla-Pirnia thank you for your kind words and whenever you need help with any content, please do not hesitate to reach out!

You can download a copy of them directly from CompTIA. it will make you register to do so but they are available.

thanks, the labs are now available, even though I didn't change anything.

Wes, thank you so much for your reply!

It's a good question.
Answer:
We license our practice tests from a vendor. If they do not have the practice test; we do not have it.

So, though the primary check does occur between the OSCP and the server. To prevent the security concern you mention, there something like a "skip level meeting" that occurs between the server and the CA without the OSCP, periodically. This means that the OSCP server can present whatever information it wants but periodically the server itself directly requests an OSCP response from the CA. This would be similar to an employee asking his or her supervisor to raise an issue, then directly goes around the manager for a response as well. This direct response from the CA is then "stapled" to the certificate (SSL/TLS) when the server sends it the client for verification. if the OSCP is compromised, this will reveal it.

Hey @Mustafa-Mohamud, great question! The CompTIA A+ 220-1101 exam was launched in April of 2022, and is the current set of objectives. The exam versions usually get replaced every 3 years. When a new set of objectives gets released, the previous version will retire around 6 months later:

Thanks Wes,
I'll have a read through!

@Wyatt-Major,
My apologies for this slipping through. The FC0-061 course is not about technology changes but fundamental encounters you will have working in the world of IT. It is more like a sampling of what you might face in certain popular job related roles in IT, so you can explore different areas to your liking. So the skills and tasks are absolutely transferable into a real world IT related career path.

As far as the certification goes, there is a new one launching to replace this and a new title we believe that is coming out this year: from CompTIA ITF+ to CompTIA TECH+. It is the next iteration of this same exam. We are looking into developing this.

Hi @Chuck-Jordan

Looks like to me that you have a really good learning path going! I hope once you have your certs completed you'll easily find a job.

RE: Sophies laptop, as a helpdesk/sysadmin guy, that makes my heart hurt. Taking all of those stickers off is going to take A WHILE lol.

Have a good weekend!

@Nathaniel-Fernandez I just took the Linux+ this past Sunday and scored an 812/900. I had 0 knowledge of Linux 3 months ago. My resources were, this course, a YouTuber named Shawn Powers, and the Linux+ Sybex book. I studied 3-6 hours every day for about a month and a half. I had a virtual machine with both Rocky and Mint to test my skills in a virtual environment. Don Pezet does an amazing job explaining the topics. I hope this helps.

Hey @Japhet-Rivera, great question! The videos teach the concepts of the CySA+ objectives. The labs give the learner hands-on experience with the concepts. You will encounter exercises in labs that may provide documentation to review to reinforce the concepts. The videos and labs are developed separately; however, we recommend utilizing them together to learn and practice the content.

Core 1 is indeed hardware-focused. Things like different display types such as Twisted Nematic, In-Plane Switching and Vertical Alignment, RAM pin counts, types and speeds, HDD types (SSD, HDD, hybrid) and speeds (7200 RPM, etc.), and Core 2 is software-focused, like Windows troubleshooting, macOS, some Linux, etc.

One thing I would do is go through the objectives and make flash cards for the memory-based things like RAM pin numbers, RAM speeds, hard drive speeds, etc.

My suggestion would be to check out Professor Messer's YouTube channel. His A+ series is outstanding, and maybe even check out an Exam Cram book. I have one by David L. Prowse, and it outlines just what you need to know to pass the exams. If you're looking for an A+ book, I suggest Mike Meyers' 220-1101/220-1102 Study Guide. He breaks down the objectives into easily-explainable subjects. Also, if you want, Udemy has a Mike Meyers A+ 1101/1102 video series that's relatively cheap (about $15 each).

One thing I've heard a lot of people who have nailed certification exams say is when you're studying, try teaching the subject to someone. If you can teach it, you understand it!

Lastly, try a practice exam (90+ questions is ideal), and time yourself. Give yourself the 90-minutes allotted in the exam, and see how you do. Get used to being under the gun of that 90 minutes at home so you can learn to relax when you're in the thick of it, doing the real deal.

Good luck!

Make a note of the topics you are uncomfortable with and as you focus your studies on them, make flash cards and study study study.

Thank you!

The new Network+ content is up for viewing! Oddly, CompTIA has not yet released the objectives for the N10-009 exam.
