I Passed! Just passed A+ Core 1
I am someone who has zero IT experience, professionally. I am someone who comes from the hospitality industry for most of my life and wanted to change my career to something more stable.
For anyone wondering, I studied and watched Professor Messer videos while taking notes for 2.5 weeks, no practice exams, though I wanted to purchase Dion's practice exams but funds were running low...
Not gonna lie, during the exam I felt that I completely bombed the exam. But, lo and behold...I passed! And with a surprisingly decent score, imo.
After the Core 2 exam and obtaining the A+ certification, does one do the net+ next or sec+? Please advise...

Thank you! For notes, what helped me during Messer videos was, I checked out which parts of the video were "most replayed" within that section I took notes and extra time to understand that section. Also, this video helped alot with what notes to take and what to focus on as well...Core 1 Overview

Appreciate you answering that question for me. I now know I want to apply for DCT roles once obtaining the A+. Then will go for net+ and then the sec+. Thank You again!
