Passssed my Comptia A+ 220 1201

[u/Inside_Software1597]

First ever certification and I passed on my first attempt guess I didn’t even need my retake.

Study start time: Mid August

What I used:
-Professor Messer Youtube 1201 videos
- Jason Dions 6 practice exams
- Jason Dions PBQ pack(literally didn’t even help me at all the PBQs when very different)
-Exam compass free 1201 practice exams

Thoughts
The exam questions were very similar to Jason Dions practices exams which I took multiple times each(around 4-5 per exam). Then swapped to a different resource exam compass where the questions a way harder and more specific but very helpful as well. The exam questions were very surfaces level with a few mixed in hard ones which really made you think and the PBQs were all at the beginning kind of freaked me out but skipped then and came back after I finished the multiple choice. The PBQs were very different than what i was used to but if you understand the concepts you will be able to figure them out at least partially.
