CompTIA Network+ Certification Exam Training
Taking the Network+ Test
Please arrive at the testing center at least 15 minutes before the test is scheduled to begin. The administrator of the testing center can demonstrate how to use the computer-based testing system before the actual
test begins. Two forms of identification must be presented to the test center administrator. One form should be a photo ID, such as a valid driver's license. The other can be a major credit card, or a passport.
Please be aware that both forms of identification must have a signature. Books, calculators, laptop computers, or other reference materials are not allowed during the test. Because the test is computer-based, pens,
pencils, or paper will not be needed. It is CompTIA's policy to make reasonable accommodations for individuals with disabilities.
Test Format
The certification test is administered on a computer at a Prometric or VUE authorized testing center, in an easy-to-use format. The format of the test looks very much like other multiple-choice examinations you have
taken before. The difference is, this examination is taken on a desktop computer connected into a testing network, where all the data is stored centrally and securely. Directions for using the testing software are
displayed on the screen. A tutorial is provided as well as the assistance of a nearby proctor. On-screen "help" is also available, including information at the bottom of the screen that lets you know how
to enter your answer, move forward in the test, mark a question for answering later, or review a previous question. Of course, the software tells you how to enter the answer, not what answer to enter.
Usually each question has one correct response. However, there are some that have multiple correct responses. When there are multiple correct answers, a message at the bottom of the screen prompts you to "choose
all that apply." Be sure to read the messages.
After the Test
As soon as you finish the test, you receive the final score. You will see the results immediately on the computer screen. In addition, a hard copy of the score report is provided at the testing center.
The score report shows whether or not you passed the certification. You can also see how you did on each section of the test and on each technology. Please retain this score report as it contains your unique ID
number, which is also your certification number. It can be used to verify your certification until your certificate arrives.
If you pass the examination, a certificate will be mailed to you within a few weeks. Should you not receive your certificate and information packet within 5 weeks of passing your exam, please contact CompTIA at
fulfillment@comptia.org or 630-268-1818 and ask for the fulfillment department.
