So you failed one or both A+ exam Tests and Now what?

Test

I failed the CompTIA A+ Core 1 Certification

I am sure you are so surprised that I am saying this with very little hesitancy.   I figure those of use who had to hear the bad news should at least know we aren’t alone in the struggle of get the certification.   You’re probably thinking Now what do I do?   I figure you have a couple of options to consider and we’ll talk about some of the options and what you might be able to do about it.  First thing you have to consider is was your score really low or just missed it like I did.    I’ve been doing IT on the side for several years.  You’d think I would pass it on the first try, I was so hopeful.   I missed it only be a several points to get to the 675,  If you’re score is really under a 100 or so, you really need to consider what you can do better next time and  be more prepared.   You may even keep failing CompTIA A+ for several times before you can get to the 675 or higher to pass the core 1 exam.

Now what are you going to do?

This might be the first time or even the second time that you failed the exam.   You have to consider why you are doing and consider if maybe you’re not ready to get the certification.   It could just be dumb luck that you didn’t get, but I’d be remiss if I didn’t at least consider these questions for myself and think hard and long about what I wanted and why I wanted it.   I’m not sure what goals you might of set for yourself but these are some important to think about.  You might even need to cry to get the frustrations and disappointment out to be able to think clearly.  In the end, it’s all about how you deal with the situation that makes or breaks your intentions to get the certifications.

What’s next?

Well for me, I’m going to have to take the test again for the Core 1 Test at least.  I’ve scheduled the Core 2 for the next few weeks and intend to do that one just because I have already scheduled it and might as well see if I can pass at least one exam.   If I can do at least the one exam the other one will be a lot simpler for me I think.   You have to consider what you are wanting to do or if you think you can pass the next exam.  I’m not going to give up just because I failed the first time.  I’ve gotten this far and I won’t stop going farther.   I know I can pass this exam if I just work on the questions and try to keep working to my goals.   Some ways you can get  ready for the next time:

I know I am not going to fail the next time and if I do, at least I have the experience to learn from and getting better.   I am sure I am not the only one who has had this happen before.  I’ve seen videos about people failing the CompTIA A+ certifications, so I guess it isn’t just me.   This is what you need to learn for yourself that you’re not alone in the struggle of getting that exam certification and we all have had to do it at least once or twice.   Hopefully this helps you to know you’re not alone.
