I'm just about ready to take the first half of my A+ certification

[AcedTea87]

I've known a decent amount about PCs for most of my life but, I didn't think to pursue a career in it until recently. Before i started my self-education in earnest I took a practice test to see how i stacked up and I got 77% (85% passing). After a few on and off months of studying, I've raised those scores to 95%+ across 3 different practice tests and I'm understanding more of it than ever. I guess I'm a little nervous about finally taking the real deal. If I push just a little harder i can get into a job that could help me pay for therapy and a living situation where I could express myself more freely.

I just felt the need to share since thinking about it makes me a tangled mess of nerves. Wish me luck!

Good luck, @AcedTea87 ! Sounds like you have the knack, and most importantly the focus and drive. Good for you & may you find more and more success.

Good luck, @AcedTea87.  I took that certification test years ago and you will do fine.  I find most of the study material for CompTIA makes the test seem harder than it really is.  I know you will do great.

I passed the first exam! Now I'll get on to get the 2nd exam done and I'll be A+ certified.

Awesome!!!  You will do great on the next exam.

I passed my Core 2 exam yesterday and now I'm A+ certified. I can't begin to express my relief. I hope this is the start of something great and that it could lead to me getting to a place where I can start expressing myself and perhaps eventually seeking therapy to help me understand myself better. For now though, I think it's time for the Network+ next.

Congratulations! I know that is definitely a breath of relief. Sorry I didn't respond earlier but I'm glad I saw it now. Hopefully you will get what you seek and deserve.

Congratulations @AcedTea87as you predicted your hard work studying and taking practice tests paid off. In reality, there's nothing you can't accomplish if you set your goals, lay out a plan, and adjust as you're working through it. Everyone here is proud of you, and hope people in your real life are too.

 

You're A+ certified,
