Hello,
I just took the tests after listening to Mike's dulcet tones and staring at
his white hat on the wall for several months. As in the 8th tape he
encouraged me to get off my buns and go for it, I did so but found out
something in the process that I'd like to share:
1. Vouchers are available with review CD's from several companies (Mike's
outfit was the one I chose) and I was able to plow through 20 core hardware
tests and 20 operating system tests for review, plus save a boatload on the
test through Prometric. If you shop around online, you too can easily find
vouchers and review materials in the same manner.
2. In the pass materials I got at the test center, they make you aware that
if you failed the test, you would not be allowed to retake the test for 12
months, unless there was a substantial change in the test content which
would be the exception to the rule. Therefore, if I read it correctly, if
you opt to take the test NOW, you may have the fail-safe of being able to
retake the test when the XP material is added.
Good luck,
Rod |

Not quite correct - If you fail the test you can resit it immediately if you
wish.
Where I was studying one guy failed on core - booked it for a resit an hour
later and passed with a very high score.
Quotes from Comptia
IN THE EVENT THAT A CANDIDATE FAILS A COMPTIA CERTIFICATION TEST - RETAKE
POLICY:
In the event that a candidate fails his or her first (1st) attempt to pass
any CompTIA certification test, CompTIA does not require any waiting period
between the first (1st) and second (2nd) attempt to pass that same CompTIA
certification test. However, before any candidate's third (3rd) attempt or
any subsequent attempt to pass any CompTIA certification test, such
candidate shall be required to wait for a period of at least thirty (30)
calendar days from the date of such candidate's last attempt to pass such
test.
IN THE EVENT THAT A CANDIDATE PASSES A COMPTIA CERTIFICATION TEST - RETAKE
POLICY:
In the event that any candidate passes any CompTIA certification test, such
candidate shall be required to wait for a period of twelve (12) calendar
months before retaking the same CompTIA certification test, unless CompTIA
has changed the test objectives for such test. |
