Step 2: Get Familiar With Your IT Certification Exam

Before you start training for your IT certification, make sure you understand the big picture of what’s on the exam. Download and study the exam objectives and practice test questions to see what’s covered and the type of questions that will be asked. While the same exact questions will not be on your exam, these practice test questions will give you a good idea of what to expect when you’re taking your certification exam, building your confidence and setting you up for success.

Be sure to check out online communities on Facebook, LinkedIn and Reddit to see what others are saying about CompTIA exams.
