Onlinetesting, powered by Pearson OnVUE, is a remote exam proctoring service that provides a secure and easy way to complete your CompTIA certification exam* from any place in which a private area is available to you. To take an exam online:

Before taking a CompTIA exam, all certification candidates will be prompted to agree with the CompTIA Candidate Agreement. Failure to accept the agreement results in the forfeiture of your exam fee. There are also policies and procedures specific to online testing, including those related to system requirements, your exam workspace, and testing for candidates under 17 years of age. Please be sure to review them here:

In addition to meeting system test requirements for minimum screen resolution, be sure to review and confirm your display settings for scaling, prior to checking in and launching your exam. Scale settings should be set to 100% (for users running Windows) or default (for Mac users).

If your screen settings meet the minimum resolution settings but scale settings are set above 100% it is likely that the exam content will not render properly on-screen, causing a less than desirable experience during delivery of your CompTIA exam.

Be sure you use an active, valid email address when you create an account. Important information about your exam results and certification status will be sent to the address you use to create your testing account.

The CompTIA Certified Technical Trainer (CTT+) certification will permanently retire in 2023. CompTIA will not renew or replace this certification. Therefore, anyone preparing for it is encouraged to complete their studies and seek certification before the retirement dates. Vouchers already purchased for this certification will expire after these respective dates.

Although the certification will be retiring and CompTIA will no longer be offering it, anyone who has received this certification will remain CompTIA CTT+ certified, good for life. Please refer to the CompTIA CTT+ certification page for full details.

The CompTIA CTT+ certification performance based TK0-202 Classroom trainer and the TK0-203 Virtual Classroom trainer exams are delivered exclusively through Ingenuiti.

If a third party (employer, academic institution, military etc.) has paid for you to take a CompTIA exam or to participate in the CompTIA Continuing Education (CE) program, upon request CompTIA will share your certification status and/or progress in completing your CE requirements with the third party. Visit the CompTIA website for more information.

The actual A+ certification exam consists of two separate tests. There is only one A+ certification document and it can only be obtained by passing both tests (each test requires a separate fee). There is no formal requirement when it comes to the order in which the two A+ certification tests should be taken, but both tests must be passed before the entire exam retirement date and must come from the same set of objectives. CompTIA A+ certification document remains valid for three years from the date when the exam was passed.

Both, 220-1101 and 220-1102 exams are computer-based tests consisting of 90 questions each. Each test has a time limit of 90 minutes. Exam results are available upon completion of the test and after filling in a short, mandatory survey.

Before the actual test candidates are asked to read and accept CompTIA's exam policies. There is a limited amount of time to complete this part, but this time does not count into the exam time - the actual exam starts with the first test question. Exam policies do not allow mobile phones and any other means or devices that would allow for cheating on the exam, and they must be left somewhere at the office before sitting for the exam.

During the test, answers can be changed by going back to any given question; exam questions can also be marked as unanswered for a later review. The list of all questions is also available at the end of the exam before submitting completed test, so it is possible to get back to any of them at that point as well (unanswered questions are marked red). Test results are displayed after submitting answers and going through a short, mandatory survey.

From July 9, 2012, CompTIA exams are available only through Pearson VUE testing centers. Exams can be booked online through the Pearson VUE website, by phone, or directly at the testing center. Examination options include an in-person exam at one of the testing centers, or online testing.

In addition to single/multiple-choice questions and drag and drop questions, current versions of A+ certification exams include the Performance-Based Questions (PBQs). For each performance-based question, the exam prompts the candidate to perform a specific task or solve a specific problem. A simulated environment is then launched, in which the candidate completes the required steps. Each question is designed around real-world computer scenarios that will test candidate's skills and knowledge. The simulated environments may include different aspects of IT infrastructure, such as command prompts, Windows OS, or networking environments.

CompTIA does not offer any free re-tests or discounts on any exam retakes, and candidates must pay the exam price each time they attempt the exam. There is no waiting period between the first and second attempt to pass the exam, only before the third or any subsequent attempt there is a mandatory waiting period of at least 14 calendar days from the date of the last attempt.

Free practice tests based on the current A+ exam domains published by CompTIA. All tests are available online for free (no registration / email required). Score reports (a list of all responses with percentage score) are displayed upon completion of each practice exam.

If you are in the field of security, or if you're looking to get your foot in the door, you have probably heard about the dreaded CompTIA Security+ certification exam. In this article, I'm going to share with you some important tips/tricks and helpful resources that I used to pass the exam. But before we begin, let's go through the exam format.

CompTIA recommends gaining 2 years of IT experience along with the A+ and Networking+ certifications before taking Security+. This is because these exams help build a foundation for Security+. However, while these would certainly help in understanding the core concepts, it is possible to pass the exam without them. When I took the exam, I didn't take any of the previous exams and I had little to no experience in cybersecurity! To help you study, I've compiled a list of resources that I relied heavily on along with everything I did to prepare for the exam.

These summarize my experiences studying for and passing the Security+ exam. While it is a hard exam, having a schedule and sticking to it is going to make all the difference. It's important to note that taking breaks is healthy, but not studying for even five days in a stretch can really put you behind again. Find breaks that are consistent with your schedule, long enough to keep you sane but also short enough to retain what you have already learned. Setting milestones and goals will help keep you determined. Also, the great part about certifications is that you always have a second shot even if the first doesn't go as planned. Failure is a lesson learned, and you'll learn so much going into your second attempt. The key is to not give up. Finally, remember that nothing is better than investing in yourself. Regardless, if you're about to take the Security+ exam, know that you are already putting yourself ahead of the curve.

Hi, does anyone know if the Certified in Cybersecurity certificate is a higher level of the Security+ certificate? I am currently studying for the Security+ certificate and plan to tackle the CC next.

I'm disappointed with the exam, I took it, and I studied for more than two months, And the exam isn't entry-level. It's the way that the ISC2 platform provides quiesces that aren't similar to the exam. The exam is much more complicated than the test on the forum. I'm unfortunately disappointed with what ISC2 do.

If you become Security+ certified, CC would be overkill/unnecessary. If you are a looking for a really comprehensive view of all these certs an how they are perceived, check this:

Certification is an amazing pathway to getting a high paying career in some of the best jobs in the world without spending thousands of dollars attending a four-year college. The process is pretty simple actually. Candidates select a certificate they want such as CCNA. They train for it, pay a fee to take an exam, meet a list of requirements, and voila! They are certified in a specific field. There are literally hundreds of certifications in almost any subject involving high-level skills. From networking with Cisco to running a cloud server with Amazon AWS, certifications exist at every level of the industry.
