Performance based questions

rejaz

Hi All,

I have got the exam on Friday and I have found the following for a very reliable source

Performance-based questions require the test-taker to perform a task or solve a problem in a simulated environment to show that they have the necessary skills to go along with their knowledge (which is often assessed through multiple-choice questions). CompTIA has announced that the new performance-based questions will start appearing on Security+ exams beginning January 5, 2013. Anyone who takes that test on or after that date will see these new questions in addition to the regular multiple-choice questions. These new questions will also be added to A+ exams (220-801 and 220-801) in October and to Network+ exams on November 4.

Hmm Well I start my Comptia exams right after this when I go to WGU Next month... im guessing the books for the 701 will be good enough?

Pretty much the same thing happeend when I graduated high school in 2007 they changed the A+ to the new format... lol

If you take the 701/702 exams (available until Aug 31, 2013), you won't see the performance based questions. This article describes the concepts in more depth: InfoSec Institute Resources – CompTIA Performance Based Testing

Hey, Where did you find out that theyre adding performance based questions in Net+ and Sec+? I thought thats just for the 800 A+ exams
