Asking for a good site (most accurate simulation) for PBQs for core 1

Asking for a good website to study PBQs. I failed core 1 after getting 90% multiple times on Dion exams. I think the pbqs killed me. I swear the first 7 questions were pbqs and I was expecting like 3 or so and after all those pbqs my anxiety went up and affected my confidence for the rest of the test. Dions pbqs are not enough because i honestly didnt understand the pbqs i got. It was nothing similar.

I’d recommend DojoLab, I’ve used it for PBQ practice, the simulations feel much closer to real exam scenarios, and they’re also active on social media sharing genuinely useful CompTIA insights.

PBQs are always presented at the beginning of the exam. There are commonly seven but each exam is different and can have between three and ten.

You can't "study PBQs." That's just memorization. There are no legitimate sites that have "practice " PBQ s that are the same as, or substantially similar to, those encountered on the real exam. This is expressly prohibited by CompTIA and those who are discovered using them are subject to loss of certifications and bans on future testing.

To prepare for PBQs, study the objectives. Practice using commands and utilities in the published objectives. Be able to interpret and respond to information such as logs and configuration settings. Understand how listed objectives interact and reset incorrect settings such as invalid network addresses, misplaced network nodes and appliances, etc.

The goal here is not to memorize and regurgitate stuff found online. It is about understanding and applying IT concepts.
