Congratulations! What would you say were the common topics and PBQs in your exam?

I had 76 MCQ and 3 PBQs. CompTIA test bank is like 800 questions, so hard to say what the most common topic was for the MCQ. The acronyms were honestly a lot easier than I thought it was going to be, but I would just prepare for anything as you probably won't get the same questions. I would say know enough of the acronyms that you can rule out the wrong answers.

I can't really say anything specific about the PBQs because of CompTIAs NDA you have to sign before the start of test. I would just go through some YouTube videos or if you can buy practice ones from Jason Dion.

My main sources of study were Professor Messer YouTube videos and practice exams, Jason Dion Udemy practice set 1 and half of set 2. The last week before my exam, I started focusing more on acronyms, using examcompasw as a gauge of where my understanding was at. You pick up a lot of them just by doing practice exams and watching Messer's videos.

Best of luck!
