Carefully and logically read ALL QUESTIONS. CompTIA's wording on a few of the questions are "questionable" in itself, however you will find the answer if you simply sit and process it's wording. 5. Don't overthink. I made a few silly mistakes by doing that... 6. Be prepared for the simulations. They aren't very tough as they provide the precise amount of information needed for you to complete the Sims. All you need to know is how and where to "put things into place". 7. Don't last minute cram. 8. Don't let one question "defeat you", this test is cake! When it comes to what I personally recommend studying: 1. Know the components of your motherboard! Ram, CMOS Battery, PCI slots etc. Like, know exactly where they are located. Trust me. 2. Know how to configure networks (IP address input, SSID hiding, Signal changing etc) in a router. There is a chapter in Networking in the Exam Cram book that explains how to configure a router. Look over that. 3. KNOW your computer configurations. For example, what is the best parts for a Gaming computer, CAD Workstation , Home Theater PC etc. 4. Don't last minute cram. I studied using the same method you did and passed both 801 and 802 (yesterday and today). You can do it, easy A right here!
