Passing the CompTIA Project+ Exam: Tips and Recommended Resources

If you clicked on this article, you’re likely reading it for one of two reasons. Either you’re someone who wants to pass a project or enhance your career, or you’re a student who needs to pass an exam for a class requirement. As a former student, I understand the importance of passing exams on the first attempt.

The Key Resource for Success

The Cybex book by Kim Heldman was the number one resource that helped me pass the exam on my first attempt. This book effectively consolidated all the necessary information. While as a student, you have access to online courses like Pluralsight and Udemy, I found that studying the book for two weeks was more beneficial.

The Importance of Reading

Despite my preference for video content when learning, I struggled to understand the material in the video courses for this particular exam. This is why I turned to the Cybex book. Although it requires more time and effort, reading the book allowed me to comprehend and digest the content to succeed on the exam.

Strategies for Success

During my study period, I completed the book and practiced with the chapter exams and the final practice exam, which consisted of over a hundred questions. I highly recommend thoroughly reviewing and understanding the content and utilizing the practice exams provided.

I understand that the content can be monotonous, especially for IT students at WGU. However, if you want to truly comprehend the material without relying solely on potentially unengaging video courses, reading the book, investing time in it, and completing practice exams will greatly increase your chances of passing the exam on your first attempt.

Auxiliary Resources

If you require additional resources, I suggest exploring the Pluralsight course by KCrs and the Udemy course by Joseph Philip. Many successful WGU students recommend these courses. However, for me personally, the Cybex book was sufficient.

Choose a Testing Center

When scheduling my exam, I opted for a testing center. Although I usually prefer taking exams at home, the effort and time I invested in this exam compelled me to eliminate any potential disruptions. Taking the exam at a testing center provided the optimal environment for success.

Understanding Exam Requirements

It is crucial to thoroughly study the content and understand what the exam requires. WGU exams are notorious for tricky questions. By reading each question carefully multiple times and reviewing the answers, you can deduce the correct answer and increase your chances of success.

Passing exams on the first attempt is essential for students. By utilizing the Cybex book, practicing with the provided exams, understanding the content, and taking advantage of auxiliary resources if necessary, you can increase your chances of passing. Choose a testing center to eliminate distractions, and carefully approach each question on the exam. Good luck!
