Troubleshooting Networks - CompTIA A+ 220-1001 - 5.7

[@QuanLovesGaming]

Hey guys on June 1, 2020 I took this 1001 exam and failed. Instead of feeling down I came back to these videos and brushed up on the info. June 6, 2020 I retook the exam and passed while increasing my score by 100 points. Moral of the story is don't quit guys you can do it!

[@QuanLovesGaming]

I am now A+ certified!

Professor, I just passed my 220-1001 literally today. I started your 1001 video series yesterday and finished it today with only 10 minutes before I had to leave to the exam. I applaud your quality and commitment and thank you for this valuable resource. 7 hours of cramming at 1.5 times speed and now I'm half ways there. Thank you

[@USpropaganda]

Congrats dude! I'm almost done watching all of prof messers 1001 videos (i skipped around just a bit), and I gotta ask, what was your background/experience in IT before taking the exam? Did you just learn through his videos or did you have other sources and previous knowledge? Regardless thats some quick studying lol and very impressive! I'm gonna be taking mine in the very near future, I just want to be super prepared before I go.

[@jakeleon3419]

@ I got the retake bundle for insurance. I figured that if I failed, I would know where my knowledge was lacking and I could guarantee the second half of the exam. I also watched this really long video on the 901.. this video and the other video were basically all of my study components. Plus my company pays for it if I pass both tests...if edit: I am A+ certified now. Onto Network+. Guess who's videos I am watching :)

Sam I Am mestuppony14 How easy did you find the exam? I have to book and pass mine by the end of November so I need to cram these videos!

[@Sammy-I-Am]

alittlebitofdlc the exam isn’t difficult as long as you know your topics. The exam is made for you as a technician to pay attention to detail. Performance based questions are going to be the first questions, typically 5 or 6 PBQs. In my case, the exam focuses on networking and troubleshooting. Just take your time studying, review topics you don’t know too well, get Professor Messor’s notes (they’re handy to read while waiting to take the exam). Best of luck to you!

[@josephsmith9703]

Was the video series your only resource??

[@thedrewboy1]

@@josephsmith9703 (1/2) Yea I used this video series as a source, I also bought his study guide, and I used exam compass. But during the school year I had taken a course based on the 901/902 but I didn't certify till now. So, since the 901 was discontinued i used Messer's videos as a way to refresh my mind on all the material on the test. But if you have a good knowledge of IT and specifically hardware this test isn't difficult. You would just have to know some Networking.

[@thedrewboy1]

(2/2) From what I experience the test wasn't too difficult and was actually pretty easy to me. I ended up getting a 727 with about 2 weeks of just watching Messer's videos and taking notes. Its just how easy you can retain the information.
