How to PASS CompTIA A+ in 2024 (Over 1500+ Practice Questions)

🖥 New IT Career in under 3 Months with my Hands-On Course 🖥 joshmadakor.tech/it

[@whatphil]

Hi Josh, I have a question for both your IT and Cyber Security courses. What are the hardware requirements to take either course, if any? I'm currently using a mac m1 and I know there are some limitations when it comes to using virtual machines like VirtualBox (currently using UTM). I know the labs require setting up virtual environments so I just wanted to make sure I would be okay going forward with the courses with my current set up. Hope to hear back, thanks!

Josh please fix the .apkg file. It’s giving errors.

[@zeroethsort1071]

@@robindiamondhands6416 were you having an issue where the file was telling you you already have a majority of the deck? and it would only import like 20 total? I just downloaded it like an hour ago and I'm having issues getting it up and running in the app

[@diegomontero6851]

I just passed Core 1 because of this, thanks a lot Josh!

[@bjornonthisday9691]

Hey Josh, great video and so true. I’ve lost my job two months ago and been on several interviews. You can have all the certs in the world, but if you can’t interview well, then it makes more challenging to get a job. Lots of completion out there! I’ll apply to jobs and it will be one posting and 20 + candidates applying. Hopefully the job market gets better

[@JoshMadakor]

Thanks for the kind words and I commend your hard work. And yeah, the market (like most other things) goes in cycles and it can be rough. We just gotta be as employable as we can be for when the market takes a down turn. Check out this video where I talk about dealing with those high applicant jobs: kzbin.info/www/bejne/oIKmopqifJp8eLMsi=y-9xM4nJUJmQgztr Basically it's work considering moving, because those flyover states have much less applicant pool and the skill level tends to be lower honestly, so it tends to be easier to get jobs in places like those. It's worth considering in the interim at least ^^

[@techtesiaj11]

Thank you Josh for giving back and allowing these test for free. Truly a blessing and very appreciated. I am taking your course careers course by the way. 😊

[@JoshMadakor]

Thanks for watching and taking the course! :D

[@moniquemendez1079]

omg I’ve been wanting to keep learning and advancing my skills as I was previously in a remote desk role and now working in desktop support and this video came to me perfectly! I have little background (I mean I came into my desktop role not knowing that different chargers had different names type of limited knowledge)!! I really appreciate your channel and a few others but yours is so helpful and continuously straight to the point with no fluff or catches!

[@iceypies2791]

Been trying to get into IT for MONTHS now but always get worried with the job I currently have I simply don't have the time to learn and getting the coursework is not cheap and so I don't wanna waist my money so this could be helpful to test the knowledge to see what I know and where I would go from there in terms of learning. Definitely gonna watch that other video as I know companies ask a LOT of questions and you gotta basically sell yourself in an interview (knew someone that did it and the bullshitted it pretty hard and managed to get a job)

[@matybz17]

Thank you Josh, this is going to be super helpful! Your channel is awesome!

[@RQgamez]

Hi, @JoshMadakor, I think the answer to this question is not entirely correct as this is a "Wireless Connection". A. Reconnect or replace a bad or loose network cable is the problematic one but I thought I'd check with you as you are the expert and I hope you can throw some light on this one. I'm copying and pasting the full question, and explanation below: What are some steps that can be taken to improve intermittent wireless connectivity? A. Reconnect or replace a bad or loose network cable B. Change the Wi-Fi antenna’s position or move closer to the router or AP C. Power down the system and reseat or replace a bad NIC D. All of the above Correct Answer: D. All of the above Explanation: Intermittent wireless connection can be improved by several methods: reconnecting or replacing a bad or loose network cable, changing the position of the Wi-Fi antenna or moving closer to the router or AP, power down the system and reseat or replace a bad NIC. Therefore, all of the mentioned measures can be taken to improve the situation.

[@Red-ys5qf]

How many new cards would you recommend studying each day? Also, did you change any of the Anki settings or just leave them at the default? Thanks!

[@richardhuey9140]

This is gonna be helpful as I am about to knock a bunch of these certs out in the next few months. Love hour content, keep up the great work.

[@UpgradingJeff]

Just a heads up. I downloaded anki and the deck. I have noticed that all answers appear to be B. What is the process to randomize this ?

[@zaneoneday]

Hey thanks for the info. I downloaded Anki and everything else but I only get 20 questions per section and know there is more than that. Any idea why this is going on?

[@Bob11-j5m]

Same here... How do you fix this?

[@abelghirmay1787]

Thank you so much.

[@shaswaggy6435]

Any reason why my Anki deck after importing the deck shows 20 on new rather than 602 etc, it shows 20 for every single column

[@ibrahimkassem7604]

it shows 20 for me as well, not sure tbh

[@arnitthefirst]

same but his website has the same materials you can study though the website if you go by section.

[@tannerscott5744]

If you hover over one of the decks it will show a settings menu on the end. Click it, then options. Then set both the daily limits to 2000.

[@tinosiskiller]

Yea, the online version does that. Hopefully it fixed soon.

when I import the anki deck from your website it only shows 20 cards for each topic in my anki. also the links in the email dont seem to work i have to copy and paste the link manually

thank you Josh for all your help. I have never used Anki. Is it safe? Does it have an security risks in using it?

anki deck is 100% safe and effective ^^

I've been studying for 2 weeks now. Got udemy crouse and got the book too. Got to say I learn a few new stuff.

[@ajackson3748]

Hi Everyone, can someone share how to import the full deck into Anki? I'm able to see all of the questions, but it's only in the simple model view. I'm unable to view the screen in which it breaks down each category as reflected on the Josh's website. Any suggestions?

[@symonehumphrey2222]

Prior to taking your course, am I able to use a Macbook Laptop

[@JoshMadakor]

fo sho! ^^

[@prodbyadil]

You should have mentioned that in order to use the offline version I’d have to BUY anki for $35. There was no need to skip over that detail.

[@sbrblz]

As he already stated in the video, Anki is free for Windows, Mac and Android. The iOS version costs $25, not $35. Use the desktop or web version if you have iOS. You were probably duped into using a fake Anki app.

[@zeroethsort1071]

Anyone having an issue when trying to import the deck where it says you already have about 1,500 of the cards, and it only imports like 20?

[@zeroethsort1071]

Update: Thanks to another user in the comments section, I found out this issue has to do with the default daily limit set to 20 cards. If you hover over the name of a deck or section of a deck, there's a Settings cog on the right. Click the cog, click Options, then set your daily limit to above 20 (probably just set it to well above the amount of cards in the deck so you know you're not truncating the deck at all)

[@FaulkEditz]

I am only seeing 20 questions per section, however it does say it adds 1500 notes. I dont understand why anki only shows 20 questions per section.

[@nusasatya177]

Hi, have you found a fix to this?

[@FaulkEditz]

@@nusasatya177 yes actually. You can into the settings on Anki and change the amount offered per day. It took me like 10-15 minutes to find. Reply again if you still struggle and I’ll find the exact settings for you.
