Just a quick testament. Passed my 901 today with a 750+ score. Just like Robert Lewis I pretty much used THIS video, as well as a mix of professor messer's videos, practice tests and notecards from crucialexams AND examcompass. I felt a very good grasp on the material and even though they word the test questions in a tricky manner, pulled through with relative ease. Never had any IT experience OR courses in my life, took me about 2 weeks spending about 4-5 hours a day from nothing. I used this video more than anything else. Thank you very much for the free and valuable content.

This is literally cisco's A+ training course that I took in a college class. Except, this video is much easier to understand without having to look at paragraphs crammed with information. The bullet points cover the main idea for each concept, making it much easier to understand and remember. Just goes to show, how much a degree is not needed for the IT field. Literally, you can self-study for all the exams and change your life forever.

Make about 100 flash cards on things I didn't know / was fuzzy about 3. Quiz myself on all of the flash cards 3 times in order, then randomize about 30 to spot test knowledge 4. Take about 4-5 different practice tests (25-100 Q's each) and scored about 75-90% 5. Take the real 901 exam and pass with flying colors 6. Comment on here to celebrate and say thank you! 7.

@@anahicarrasco2538 There are multiple cheap and free sources out there to where you can get the information you need. This VIDEO Course is just good for Reference from a VISUAL perspective. You still need to study more information separately that pertains to the A+ 1101 and 1102 Exam objectives. The Visual Concepts in this are similar but there are specific things you need to study outside of just visualizing how things work. I would not recommend studying anything from the Previous exams since the current Exams relate to Windows 10 and 11 (Not Windows XP, 7, and 8). Good luck!

For anyone interested in this exam or just learning about computers in general: One thing I strongly recommend is to practice on a real computer. Hands-on experience is important just as learning the theory behind this. You don't need any fancy computer for this. And it doesn't even need to be functional; bonus points if you can get it to work. Pretty much any used computer you can find will be good for learning.

[@PowerCertAnimatedVideos]

Fantastic advice. That's how I learned. Taking apart a computer and putting it back together.

[@soloblimp1895]

Ehh this makes sense only to an extent. You gotta imagine how many technologies, configurations, and other external devices you have to play with to learn them well. You’ll need more than a single computer to learn everything hands on as exampled in this exam.

[@martinmethod427]

Ehh... I'm not trying to be a AMD shill, but the AM4 (dead platform now, I know) socket is probably much safer for your purpose than a Intel LGA 7XX socket. AM4's PGA is much more forgiving in the sense of durability. With LGAs: you bend a foil-sized conductor, you basically kill the motherboard (unless you can CAREFULLY bend the connector back in place). Word of advice: the new AM5 is a LGA, so be careful when installing AM5 CPUs.

Thank you very much for this video, it plays a huge part in my success. This is still the best video on youtube as far as 220-901 is concerned. Don't underestimate Prof. Messer's Video, I learnt a lot from it as well. I am now going to give myself 2 weeks to prepare for the 220-902, wish me GOOD luck lol.

Do we have practical as part of the exam?

[@Sabutofons]

Issa Gure I won't really call it practical, they call it performance based or simulation....I remember in my exam, they asked me to build pc for home theatre and another one for video editing. So they will give you the components and all I had to do was drag and drop. Nothing to worry about. And don't let prof Messer's video discourage you, keep watching it plus this video and you will be fine. I'm currently watching his videos for my 220-902. I wish you all the best.

Mike Meyers also has a practice test on Udemy, I always wait for the $10 sales before I buy. 1.Mike Meyers 901 "A+ the total course" 2.Mike Meyers 901 practice exams 3. This Video. I recommend finishing Mike Meyers course in 5 days. Watching this video straight through 2x before the test and you will be fine. The first question I had was "Match the ports" Http -80 SSH-22 FTP-21 and 22 HTTPS-443 IPOP- 110 5 questions about RAID arrays I was not super confident on.

Multiple choice and simulations. I had more simulations in the 902 test than I did 901. Dunno if that's what made 902 seem harder but it sure seemed so to me. Then again, supposedly Comptia has a pool of over 2000 questions to pull from at random for each exam, so that probably has more to do with the difficulty for each test than anything else.
