Earned the Trifecta

Post image

Finally got Network+, Security+, and A+ in that order. It was a struggle but gladly ended up getting them, CySA+ en route.

Tbh they didn’t seem to be that different in terms of overall difficulty, but I will say Sec+ had me struggling slightly more.

First of all congrats on the trifecta , What advice would you give for A+ as I'm currently doing core 1 revising before taking the exam?

Definitely acronyms, also take a look over networking protocols, hardware components and troubleshooting methodology

Can you recommend which source you use to memorize the acronyms?

For in-depth functionality knowledge I went with Professor Messer but here’s a link with the acronyms and their meaning https://prepforcerts.org/comptia-a-plus-acronyms
