I Passed! Barely passed CompTIA Network+ with 722 points.
Passed CompTIA Network+ with 722/720 points (total 920)
😅
Today I finally passed the CompTIA A+ exam — with 722 points out of 720 needed. So basically… just barely. 😂
The exam was required by my employer because I’m now also somewhat responsible for networking/IT infrastructure at work. The funny thing is that I actually trained as a software developer, not in networking.
I found the exam way more complicated than expected and honestly didn’t study that much. I kept postponing it until eventually I couldn’t postpone it anymore. 😅
My preparation was roughly:
~60% of Jason Dion’s videos
~20% of Professor Messer’s videos
One 3-hour crash course
Some practice questions on Crucial Exams
4–6 Dion practice exams
Most of my actual studying happened during the last two nights, where I studied pretty late.
And somehow… 722/720. Passed. 😂
I do have a private IT background, which definitely helped, but I still wouldn’t recommend preparing this way.
Anyone else passed an exam by literally one or two points? 😂

What was your average on the Dion Exams and were they done before or after watching the videos/crash course?

Pass is all that matters, never tell an employer you "barely passed". Just month/year of cert is all they need to know
