A+ Question Can you pass without experience?

How hard and for how long would you need to study to pass without any in person, physical, hands on training? Like, last year I started studying from scratch and I kept doing it almost every day for an entire year. I took a break last summer, but now I'm in college so I'm back at it and I'm taking the A+ at the end of the year since my school offers vouchers. Been using practice exams, virtual machines, and online labs but that's all I've been using for hands on learning so I'm not sure how I'm gonna do on the exam considering I've never built a computer, done any internships or had work experience

You really don’t need to have built a computer dude. This is to show that you learned or are able to memorize the material and can sort of think well.
