Exam Test Tips
CompTIA Test Taking Tips
It is possible to study and learn about a topic and still not find success on a certification exam. Studying
develops specific skills and knowledge, but it is the presentation of your skill and knowledge that satisfies the exam. This difference is vital to successful exam study.
Multiple choice: What's right and what's wrong? Knowing what is wrong (and why it is wrong) as well as what is right, demonstrates mastery, and can lead you safely
through the minefield of exam distracters (incorrect answer choices). Ineffective study may leave you with a narrow vision of what is right in a particular circumstance.
Multiple choice certification exams simulate real world knowledge, descriptions and information. For example:
On the job, a customer may:
- Not provide information in a standard way every time
- Present you with information that is irrelevant to the job
- End up confusing several different issues, but mistakenly present just one issue
- Memorizing obvious factual knowledge may not deliver enough. Certification exams probe beyond knowledge of a
simple fact for mastery-level ability. You must be able to actively apply your knowledge in skills such as troubleshooting, installing or configuring.
Follow a balanced study "diet" Look at an exam topic from several perspectives: In a hands-on lab, in a book, from an instructor, on test preparation
products or in the exam objectives. All of these together will reveal contextual knowledge. With sufficient contextual
knowledge, spotting the reasons why distracters are wrong becomes a simple process of elimination.
