CompTIA A+ certification exams

Today I'll share four practical tips to help you earn your CompTIA A+ certification. As you may know, The A+ is an entry-level industry credential for people who want or need to demonstrate their competency as computer repair technicians.
The A+ credential requires that you pass two separate computer-based tests:
  • 220-901, also known as "The hardware exam"
  • 220-902, also known as "The software exam"
Notice those new exam codes. As it happens, CompTIA released the new 900-series exams on December 15, 2015. In another Pluralsight post I spelled out the difference between the previous 800-series tests with the new versions.
The number-one reason people fail the A+ exams isn’t lack of knowledge, it’s test panic. It’s understandable as the A+ exams are most tester’s first certification exam experience. The whole testing center experience is so serious that test takers feel like they are taking some sort of standardized test, like the SAT here in the US or the “A” levels in the UK.
