Mission Cloud+ on ProctorU: Success!

I just passed Cloud+ using ProctorU. The process was terrible (delayed 30+ minutes) but my proctor said it was the first time he had seen a CompTIA exam - so thank me for being a guinea pig 
. Otherwise, I'd recommend this process to anyone since you don't have to leave your room. Likewise, it being only $99 dollars instead of $277.
I prepared by watching the free videos on SimpliLearn and I got a 7-day free trial of the McGraw-Hill book - yesterday. I would say you need to really understand virtualization as a whole - connection, storage and security tied in with best practices. I think CompTIA exams are - slowly but surely - increasing in difficulty with questions sometimes associating/incorporating 3 or 4 domains together.

Actually I did - but it not helped me in any way
. I have contacted CompTIA support and their representative just confirmed what I suspected - this pilot program is available only in United States. -

Congratulations. I've been thinking about adding a cloud exam or two to my "portfolio of certs". What made you decide to pursue it?The easiest thing to be in the world is you. The most difficult thing to be is what other people want you to be. Don't let them put you in that position. ~ Leo Buscaglia

Cloud+, Server+ and Project+ are $99 each right now using ProctorU at home. That's pretty much why...
At first, just got Cloud+ but then I realized how great of a deal it was and signed up for the other two. It's like 3 for 1...

I'm tempted to make this my first Comptia Cert for price alone.
That's a good point, most people do A+ as their first. Server+ is kind of like higher level A+ that doesn't expire and with ProctorU dropping the price to $50 now it is a fraction of the cost of A+. -

You can select "CompTIA" as one of the 'institutions' when you sign up on ProctorU

That's a great mention. I wasn't planning on getting a book, just reviewing the free literature from CompTIA, but that's a no brainer. I think I'm going to start the free trial tomorrow, read it straight through the next 7 days while working with the practice material I already have and then move my test up to next Sunday instead of doing P+ and this test in the same weekend. I could *probably* pass it now without really studying, but at that price I might as well review it. Thanks. -
