Scheduled my test. Nervous!
Hey everyone,
Well, i scheduled my 220-902 for July 2nd. Super nervous about it as i really get test anxiety!!! I have been studying for several months now. I passed my 901 in August, but just barely.
My study materials for the 902 are:
Professor Messer Study Guide/Pop Quiz questions
Professor Messer 220-902 videos
Mike Meyer's A+ All in one book
Udemy 220-902 videos
CompTIA Certmaster (came with my test voucher)
examcompass practice tests
MeasureUp 220-902 practice questions
CompTIA A+ Training app on iPhone
Currently i study about 1-2 hrs/day and i study in between calls at work as well. I know this all sounds like overkill probably, but again...I get REALLY BAD test anxiety and then to just lock up when taking tests.
Here's to studying and praying i pass this next test in July!

Will do! At my current IT job i'm comfortable with taking apart a computer and putting it back together and i really enjoy that kind of work. It breaks the monotony of calls for sure. Thanks for the advice as well!
I may have to try this. I remember when i took the 901 i woke up really early and studied like crazy up until i walked in the door for the test. During that test i kept 2nd guessing myself on almost every other question. Thank you for the advice!
I have yet to fail a test, but i'm DEATHLY afraid of doing so. Probably one reason i am going overkill on the study materials. You passed your CISSP!!!! I'm hoping one day i can say the same for myself!
Many thanks!!!
Also, most people around you don't care if you are A+ or not... They just see it as something important for you.. not for them. It is important for your career, but usually it doesn't matter for your girlfriend, kids or friends. Failing will give you the opportunity to learn where you are weak and come back stronger later.
I failed my 902 twice, re-taking it in a week. Your study guides are awesome; Meyers and Prof messer are awesome for revision. Only advice I have is that you need to do as many practice exams as possible and make sure you go over all the topics once over again. Tick mark the 902 exam objectives once you study over the topic. Good luck and go for it. Be confident, Drink plenty of water so your whole body is hydrated, consume a fair amount of sugar as it helps when memorizing stuff.
You've got this. I can't wait to see you tell us that you passed. Hopefully both of us will be A+ Certified by the end of the month.
Good luck!
Already passed: Oracle Cloud, AZ-900
Taking AZ-104 in December.
"Certs... is all about IT certs!"
I understand your point. I'm just really hard o myself and if i can help it...i'd really like to pass with all the studying i have been doing.
I think total i have probably somewhere around 2-3000 practice questions. IMO MeasureUp stuff is the most closely worded to how the 901 was. I'll make sure i'm plenty hydrated.
Good luck on your re-take! Let us know how you do! I'm sure you will do great!
Thank you!
Thank you!
I intend to go in well prepared
I'm praying i can say the same on July 2nd!!!
I wish i would've done better, but.....a pass is a pass!
Thanks everyone for the encouragement and the all the great info here on Tech Exams!
On to Security+!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
