Circling back around to tell you and everyone reading that I just passed my Core 1 exam moments ago. I have used ONLY these videos and about 20 minutes of flash card studying (USE ANKI!) a day for about 2 months. I have no prior knowledge in this area and, outside of incidental knowledge gleaned from gaming, knew almost nothing of the subject matter before starting out. You can do it, gang. And thanks, professor.
Congrats man! I plan on trying to take these exams myself in the near future, just trying to find the confidence/dedicating myself to studying before I take a crack at it.
I had to come back to this video to say that I passed my Core 1 exam 40 minutes ago! It would not have been possible without these videos and your practice tests, I can't thank you enough.
I want to ask you a question, as you have watched this course. I want to start and get the CompTIA A+, so does this course cover all topics? For example, instead of going to a paid course, can I depend on this one?
Just passed the 1001 and 1002 thanks to your videos. Some additional information for anyone just starting their A+ studies -- Google's IT program (via Coursera) is pretty informative and gets into decent technical detail on stuff like networking and encryption (e.g. construction of data packets, specifically why RC4 was deprecated as an encryption standard, etc.), but there are areas that do not overlap with the CompTIA exam objectives, and vice versa. Even if you take the Google classes, if you're going to take the A+ exam, Messer is comprehensive. Good job, man.
Great note on this. I'm also enrolled in the Google IT program via Coursera and it's a great jumping off point. I find that I recognize quite a bit while I'm studying the Comptia A+ official study guide.
3 months ago I started this journey . passed core 2 yesterday and I'm certified , a Cuban immigrant that worked with me introduced me to the goat aka Professor Messer and I said if he did it and passed" why cant I. ? well it happened I passed first try on both, my girlfriend is G14 government IT in DC and she will be my gateway in. she told me how important these certs are but once your in you are in !... good luck to everyone stay positive and picture that passing score.
best 300$ spent in the course success bundle, that physical copy is so good. the goat is good, you can tell hes been doing this for years and he knows that by putting these videos for free people will throw money at him for hes other material he is that good !
As an immigrant coming from Cuba 7 years ago, I never thought that being A+ certified would be possible with all the challenges I had to face coming here. As of yesterday, 6/22/24, I am officially A+ certified passing both of my exams on first try. A big part of that I owe to Professor Messer; thank you so much for all your time and dedication that you put into your videos; sometimes it might go unnoticed but you are truly changing lives out here with the work you do. Good luck to everyone reading this, just know that anything is possible if you put your mind to it, keep pushing and never give up!
I passed my Core 1 exam this morning! Here’s how I did it: 1) Read the course notes before watching each video. 2) Watched the video about the notes to reinforce the material. 3) Took practice tests after each module (1.0, 2.0, 3.0, 4.0, 5.0) to focus on specific content. 4) Daily practice tests: I used Messer’s practice tests every day. Instead of just memorizing the correct answers, I focused on understanding why the other options were incorrect. This made a huge difference. 5) Supplemented all of this with core 1 Quizlets made by other people on my freetime. i did this over the course of 1.5 months, studying 2 hours everyday. You can do it in a shorter time period but dont rush through topics you dont understand. Goodluck to everyone!
@@Blue-sl5bn good question. examcompass has some but the questions arent worded like the actual exam, however, they are good at re enforcing the material in your head. Also, you can find some on youtube if you search up the module, example: Core 1 Networking Module Practice Test
The time has come - Today I officially passed my Core 2 and I am now CompTIA A+ Certified! Thank you for all your help Professor. Your videos and content are a blessing. Good luck to everyone, whether you're just starting your journey or still working towards this cert, you can do this 👍
have you also do practical tasks and if you have done please guide me is there any website is there to perfom these tasks or i have to do on my own machine/laptop
@@1ShaggyDog Hey - it took me about 4 months. I failed my first time on Core 1. But I mostly used these videos as well as ExamTopics. (Most answers on that site are wrong but it gets you used to the type of questions on the test.) Hope this helps!
@@ramaz678Hey sorry for the late response. For the most part I've used these videos. I've also used Exam Compass a little bit. And I used ExamTopics. Most of the answers on that site are wrong but the questions get you used to the type asked on the exam.
Good luck to everyone pursuing this career path. I am in the middle of a career change due to work culture in sales. I have to say people in IT are so kind and humble :)
Transitioning from Sales as well. Sales culture is extremely toxic in all industries. Hope you were able to reach your goal, give us an update if you were able to make the transition.
A year ago, I began my certification journey, and now, I’m proud to say I’ve earned my A+, Network+, and Security+ certifications. Professor Messer’s playlists were invaluable resources for each of these certifications. I’m incredibly grateful for the content he provides, as it played a key role in helping me achieve my goals. If you’re pursuing any of these certifications, Professor Messer’s materials are simply the best!
To everyone reading this, these videos are a gold mine, so please take full advantage of them. I officially became A+ certified 2 days ago and all I did was use these videos along with paying for the practice exams on Professor Messer's website and using some of the free practice questions that are available on TH-cam. You can do this! All of the resources that you need are out there, so just keep working and studying and you'll succeed. I promise. And of course, the biggest thanks in the world to you, professor, what you're doing here is legendary.
@@cortesmentality haven't gotten any jobs quite yet, but I am in college right now and I am hoping to get a cybersecurity internship for next year. These videos have increased my knowledge significantly though and I'm taking the Network+ exam this week
Decided I want to dedicate my time to get into IT field and try to land a job. This is my first step. Good luck to everyone whom I'm sharing path with.
I just passed my 1101 this past Thursday. THANK YOU, PROF. MESSER!!!! I have zero IT experience whatsoever and scored 716. I did it in three weeks. Studied my face off. On to 1102! Again, thank you PM!!! Absolute legend.
Just made it back from the testing center after finishing my 1102. I'm officially A+ certified!! Thank you so much Professor Messer for the videos and quiz questions. I was amply prepared for the exams. Moving on to n+!!
Looking into getting my certificates….. I owe myself, and my family the best version of myself! Can’t wait to share my success story with you all once I’m done!
Passed 5 minutes ago. I woke up this morning, and impulsively decided I didn't want to study anymore. So, I registered for the soonest opening (a friday night), and now I get the whole weekend free! I studied about a month, but I have many years experience. These videos have been rolling non-stop for weeks, and got my brain thinking about what it needed to. Thanks professor Messer. Adding, my exam only had 70 questions, dont know why? Next time, I'll prepare flash cards for acronyms. I'm also going to use a larger monitor. i had to get so close to my tiny laptop screen to be able to read, that my forehead was obscuring the webcam. They complained a couple times about it because they couldn't see behind me. Onto core 2.
Starting from 0, I’ve never studied anything related to IT but it’s always been a dream of mine so I’m taking a leap of faith onto a years long learning journey, I’ll come back and let you all know once I pass both tests :)
Get it my man. I interviewed and got a Network Engineering job with 0 experience, just self study and am about finished with a CS degree. It's all I've wanted since 2020 and I'm making it happen. MBA in the fall. I HIGHLY suggest WGU to get that piece of paper to get into the 100k+ jobs.
2 years ago in June of 2020 I started my IT journey by watching your videos to take the A+. You introduced me to my passion and now, on this day, I’m building Dapps for Ethereum and doing something I enjoy. Thanks for giving me inspiration and motivation Professor
@@jaysteel9374 Make the experience as enjoyable as possible. If you view it as work you will burn out fast. Find projects that interest you and are exciting, find a niche. Also surround yourself with cool people who are helpful and will hold you accountable to keep learning
I just passed my core 1 exam about 20 minutes ago and the first thing I wanted to do is come here and show my appreciation to Professor Messer. Without your help and practice exams, I probably would't have done as well. I can't thank you enough.
Just came to say that I have passed core 1 and will be taking core 2 tomorrow, it is possible!! Just takes a lot of hard work and dedication. I cannot thank you enough for the instruction you have provided me and everyone else. EDIT: I have passed core 2 as well! I’m now A+ Certified!
Just passed my core 1 exam! Thank YOU professor Messer!! You are truly a godsend. Aid anybody is thinking about getting the cert, DO IT! IMAGINE yourself passing the exam and truly believe in yourself!! YOU CAN DO ANYTHING!! I used professor messers videos, his practice tests, and exam compass a+ 1101 practice exams and I passed! This was for about 2 months where I really locked in on the concepts and used the exam objectives to make sure I was understanding all exam topics!! Good luck everyone and remember YOU CAN DO IT!!
Thank you so much for providing these free resources I currently am a caretaker for my mom who is disabled and I'm limited financially and this means the world to me!
Only studied for 1 month and passed both 1101 and 1102, thank you very much. I'll be watching your network+ and security+ playlists next. I hope I can treat you to a coffee.
@@Blick405 Use Jason Dion's practice tests on Udemy. They aren't free, an easy workaround is to simply go to your local library's website and look for the online resources tab, in that tab see If they have Udemy listed, so you can use it to access all Udemy courses for free. If your library doesn't have Udemy listed, then worry not. You can use a library website from another city or state as well, as long as they don't ask you to verify you are a resident of that city.
Passed my COMPTIA 1101 Exam yesterday and I thank you for your contributions to the IT community for lending your solid expertise and experience to helping others like me succeed! I could not thank you enough, sir.
Wanted to say thanks as i continue to post questions on all the rest of the videos lol. Feels weird asking q's without the support! Appreciate the high quality content for free. I do not take it for granted and I hope you are able to continue doing this for years to come.
Came back here to share that I successfully passed both my Core 1 (Oct 30) and Core 2 (Dec 2) exams and I am now A+ certified, all thanks to these wonderful courses! Professor Messer is the GOAT for teaching everything you need to pass these exams! With that being said, I HIGHLY recommend checking out his Practice Exams, they are incredibly helpful for preparing for you exams. Be confident and know that you are in good hands here. YOU CAN DO THIS! 💪
@@Blballerboy I took a lot of notes while watching the videos. There is a book I used also that's called Exam Cram and that was extremely helpful for me personally. I didn't use flashcards, but I've seen others use those and that seemed to help them remember Port Numbers and things like that.
I really appreciate your teaching style. There are no dumb little jokes, you speak very clearly and to the point, and every word you say is useful information. I'm a beer merchandiser working on my A+ certification, so I have the luxury of being able to listen to your 1101 and 1102 playlists all day while I work. I really appreciate all the knowledge you provide on top of being free and incredibly professional.
Good luck to everyone planning to take this exam in the future. I landed an entry level IT job a month ago, with just the Net+. I wouldn't have gotten this far without Prof Messer, so thank you very much sir. However I quickly found out that I could be a lot better at the job if I had hardware knowledge, so I'm planning to do the A+ in the near future. Good timing with this new series of videos coming out. Thank you again Prof!
Just passed my CompTIA core 1 exam thanks to you professor messer! Practiced roughly 6-7 weeks with just the videos and practice exams. Highly recommend you to anyone wanting to take the exams. Don't necessarily listen to anyone that says everything isn't included with professor Messer's videos. Found he has a laser focus on the exam objectives and although I had questions I'd never seen before on the exam..was still able to power through them. I had knowledge before already with computers and servers - port forwarding etc (hosted game servers). Again can't recommend you enough!
@@mco233 hard to say exactly. It was around 2-4 hours daily. So something like 20 hours a week. Mostly doing something else whilst listening to his videos. Anything I needed to actually see, say switches or a ONT I would obviously watch and research further.
Messer, I PASSED all thanks to you! Be warned everyone, it is pretty heavy on the content, but all thanks to you I got my first certificate. THANK YOU!!!
@@grassthenoob6371 I have always struggled with school and been a slow learner and unable to really focus, so I took it slow. To pass both took me a bit under a year (I hear most people take only a month or two). What I do suggest is writing notes and if possible, do his practice exams. In addition, you need to understand how all the material relates to each other and their applications. The exam will never ask you what does X stand for. It will say something more along the lines of, this just happened, what do you do next? In addition, two of the answers will seem valid. Often times, I would find myself down to a 50/50 guess. If I were to do it all over again, I would find labs that I could do after watching and understanding his videos.
@@MordredPendragonred can i ask you a question , i want to take the exam is this course and the practice exams enough to get the certificate in your opinion
@@user-ql1ht If you get the practice exams from the professor, you may as well study using all the material he provides (videos and stuff). If you just do the practice exams and not watch the videos or study, I don't think you would pass. That being said, the Professor has some of the best exams out there. He not only tells you the answer to the question and why its the right answer but also explains the wrong answer and why they are wrong.
Passed my 1101 about a month ago, just passed my 1102 yesterday! Thank you so much for all the hard work spent creating this course. Your practice exams were incredibly helpful.
Thanks a ton Professor! I just passed my 220-1102 this morning and now I'm fully certified! I studied primarily with your course notes, practice tests, and video series from 2019. This is an incredible resource you've provided and I can't thank you enough!
@@fibregaming2gaming243 I had it scheduled to take from home, but I actually canceled it and took it in person. There's no end of horror stories online about forfeited vouchers and horrible customer support. It seems like any convenience from taking it online is outweighed by the draconian online proctoring requirements. Take a look for yourself, but it seemed to me that taking the test in person was clearly the better option if you're able.
@@ancho_vz There were some gaps but generally yes. Absolutely, absolutely do not take the test without looking at the exam objectives first. I went through the objectives line by line and anything that wasn't in the course notes I googled.
@@ahmed12t I didn't take the 1002. So I can't really speak to any differences besides whatever is listed in the exam objectives. However, I was able to pass both using the information in this course and some supplementary material for the new objectives. The day before the exam I went through the objectives line-by-line and made sure to Google anything I didn't understand.
Finally get to thank you myself. Professor Messer, thank you for all the help you've been, without you I don't think i could've done it, but i finally passed both cores of the A+ exam! I'll never forget what you've done for me and countless other techs beginning our journeys. I'll be going for the rest of the trifecta next, so I'll see you in Net+ soon. One more time, thank you for everything!
Passed Core 1 Today using Professor Messer's Videos! What an amazing resource and person overall! Moving on to Core 2! :) Thanks so Much Professor Messer. Total study time with breaks in between roughly 26 days. Goodluck everyone! You can do it!
I started watching these videos today. Reading the comments inspired me to get started. I’m commenting to keep myself accountable. Wish me luck! I’ll try to remember to come back to give an update. 😂
Professor Messer thank you very much for everything and for all the knowledge you provide us with! Passed three days ago the Core 1 Exam with a score 732! No previous experience in IT only your videos and many practice exams!
Thought i'd comment today after passing 220-1101 today. Thanks professor, your videos were invaluable to my studies. Also, your practice tests I can FOR SURE say were a huge contributor to my passing score. For anyone studying for your A+, keep it up! You got this.
10 years ago I saw your videos and studied quite a bit but ended up in a different career, 10 years later I'm back to try and finish what I started. Let's go, baby!
Just passed my 1001 and 1002 within days of each other. I can’t thank you enough Professor Messer! Honestly words cannot covey how thankful I am to you, and your incredible free content.
PROFESSOR YOU ARE AMAZING! I just passed my Core 1!!! Been studying for months but your videos are really what made it all click. Would have failed HARD without you because I barely passed loooool
Just passed my 1101 first time, and gotta say I owe a lot of it to you Professor! Thank you for all the content you have made for everyone to freely access
Had to come back and say thanks to prof messer. I have used his resources (practice exams, videos, and course notes). I took 10 days for 1101 and 15 days for 1102 to pass. He is indeed the 'GOAT'
Hey Professor! Just wanted to say thank you, I took my Core 1 test today and passed thanks to you! I only used your videos to learn the material and felt super confident going into my exam. I really appreciate you and the hard work you put into making these videos. And good luck to everyone else starting their journey, you can do it!!!
I just passed my Core 1 exam(1101)!! 715 score(675 is pass out of 900) These videos definitely helped, even though ive been doing hands on IT personally for 9 years. The exam definitely was a little different than his practice exams, and IMO harder but i think its a little bit of luck on the questions you get but a lot of studying that these videos covered almost everything. The exam says some questions dont count and those random questions are for their research to see if you know anything outside the testing requirements. unfortunately they dont tell you how anything is calculated and what questions didnt count. Just study this, make sure you know everything DEFINITELY get the practice exams and get 85/90 right before taking and i think you will do fine! good luck!
I just passed the Core 1 exam today! 😀 Thank you for sharing your training videos Professor! This is very helpfuI for those who wants to be A+ certified. Road to Core 2!!❤️
Had to come back where it started to say that I have now passed my 1101 and 1102 certification tests! Prof. M's videos as well as practice exams were a huge component of me passing! Thanks again!
Just earned my A+ certification using only Professor Messer's videos and his notes and practice exams (worth every penny, imo). Thank you so much Professor Messer for providing this outstanding content and helping me advance my IT career! I had to come back and leave this comment. Cheers!
I am going to be using all of Prof. Messer's study reccomendations (labs, comptia study books, practice exams), am hoping to take it sometime this fall. Will update how I did!
Thank you good sir, watching your videos helped me get my CompTIA A+ certificate...with flying colours I might add. To any one reading this and contemplating how good the videos are - His videos are all I used to study, nothing else. He's concise, gives you the info you need with some real world examples. A month and half and I have my certificate, you wont regret it. Again, thank you sir
Hi There! Congratulations! May I ask you one question? Do you think it's enough Prof. Messer's free TH-cam video and practice Exam to pass CompTIA? There are so many confusing instructors out there with different content than Professor Messer!
@ferewoyanitsegazeab7631 in my opinion, free videos, plus course notes and practice exams will likely be sufficient depending on your preexisting subject knowledge.
Hey Professor! I have recently passed my 1101 & 1102 tests. Your videos have been pretty critical in that achievement! After failing the practice exams a few times I went online looking for resources that can help me break down which sections I was lacking in. Your playlist, albeit lightweight to be concise, was a massive help in getting me good, digestible information. I look forward to levying your playlists when the time comes for me to take my Network+ and Sec+ certifications. Thanks!
Thank you ! just started my IT journey today by watching your videos, I see myself working in a cyber security role in the near future. Thank you for the motivation!!
I really can't put into words just how grateful I am for this resource. You were a big help in passing my A+ exam. Thanks again, Professor, for all that you've done for us.
Thanks for the videos Professor! With just these videos I passed my core 1 on the first try, Taking the core 2 next month. I would recommend anyone to watch all your content!!
I just passed my comptia 1101 using ONLY this resource and practice questions. I take the 1102 in another week or two and I couldn't have done it without you. I went from pretty much only knowing how to turn a computer on and browsing the internet to passing 1101 in about 5 days. Most people take a minimum of a few months - but seriously - thank you.
Had to come back to the original video and say THANK YOU. These videos the way they are detailed and explained helped me pass my second attempt at the core 1 final. Now on to core 2 and anyone struggle you got this!
Honestly, I want to take some time to appreciate how well done these videos are, from start to finish, even with a summary at the end to go over everything that was talked about. Very well done!
Just passed my core 1 exam two days ago. These videos are the most solid videos for passing the exams. I didn't feel confident until I stumbled onto this Playlist. I had 75 questions in total.
@@travisjudd7392 I would say make sure you really read and understand what the questions are asking. I had a few times during revision that is completely misunderstood the question and had to change my answer. Practice simulations a lot. I had simulations on the exam that were similar to some of the practice sims here on TH-cam. These are normally the first set of questions and can really take up time if you are stumped on them. And last I would say if you come across a question that is giving you issues mark it for later and move on. You want to finish the question that you are sure you know and have enough time to come back and analyze the question/s that stumped you. I found this to be effective and I always have enough time to do at least 1 and a half revisions. Hope this helps and good Luck!
Thanks to Professor Messer i passed the 1101 and 1102 exams, finished the book before watching the youtube channel and i have to be honest, it was super usefull to me to understand some of the technologies with pictures and a better understanding of the nitty gritty stuff.
😂 I started taking notes on your old course for A+ 1001 so I’m happy I just started 3 days again to take these notes and get ready for this test and thank you for these videos
You have helped so much Professor Messer, today I passed my core 1, and I am proud of myself. Thank you for your videos, just a tip to everyone, don't stress yourself out, be confident, be positive, and mostly study much! ❤❤
Hey there, i have a question. I am on my way to study for CompTIA A+ exam. The thing is when I visited CompTIA website, I saw the certification was launched in 2019 and was retired in 2022 so I was confused about the thing. What does that mean? Could you explain that to me? Thanks!
I have zero experience in IT but have been taking classes at my local college and got a degree in cybersecurity, just passed my SEC+ and now working on A+ then Net+. Really hope this all can land me a remote Job since I have a messed up back.
Started my journey today, have lots of time, and lots of motivation to get out of construction, going to dedicate and hopefully pass both of these over the next few months, Thanks for all the hard work and time you spent putting these videos together!!!!
I passed my Core 1 exam a couple weeks ago and I passed my Core 2 exam earlier today! Thanks Professor! Your videos really helped me out and I'll definitely be using your Network+ and Security+ courses when I study for those exams in the future.
I'm currently in grad school while working as an IT Support Shift Lead and Junior Business Analyst. However, I've had trouble staying committed due to not knowing how to prepare adequately for the exam. I appreciate your videos and will hopefully have good news soon when I decide to take it.
I just want to give a HUGE thanks to you Professor Messer, for providing this incredible information all for free! It is exactly what I needed to advance and start a career in IT.
Thank You Professor Messer! I just passed my 1101 test and I used your videos to get there. I watched the entire video series A+ Training Course one time through to see if IT was right for me. The way you presented the concepts was very approachable and easy to learn. After getting this overview of the information and deciding it was right for me I then watched the entire series a second time and took detailed notes. I then immediately purchased and took one of your practice tests (Thank you for providing more than one practice test!). I did not do great on this first practice test, but it did give me an idea of how much more I needed to study and where to focus my studies. The practice tests were also very helpful in preparing for the format of the actual test. I then focused my studies in the areas I needed the most help and proceeded to take the next test when I felt more prepared. I did great on the second test and that prompted me to schedule the real thing! I took the third and final practice test the day before my actual exam to get in the proper mindset of test taking/ find any last minute topics I needed to focus. This entire process took me 2 months of studying and I would not have been able to do it without your help. Thanks again and wish me luck on 1102! Edit: I have now passed my 1102 Exam as well all thanks to your videos!
Thank you for your work and dedication! A few hours ago I passed my Core 1 exam. I watched your video, took notes, and study the questions. Thank you so much!
Thank you so much Professor Messer! I passed the 1101 in December of 2022 and 1102 in February of 2023. Took me about 6 months all together. I listened to your videos constantly and found great confidence with your practice tests purchased through your website. Best wishes to everyone in the community. If you keep at it, you WILL pass!
Hey professor. I just want to say thank you for all of these videos. Thanks to you over the past 4 weeks with strict studying with your content i have passed my a+, net+ and sec+ - i really hope you expand into some of the other comptia certs - not sure how ill pass my cloud+ without your vids❤
Messer has great videos over CompTIA material. Highly recommend! As someone with multiple certs in IT, Messer has excellent videos at getting to the point and helping people understand the material.
I just passed my core 1 exam 30 minutes ago. 12 months help desk experience now. Watched this playlist of videos twice and did some free practice questions online. Good luck to all! Thanks professor!!!
hello brother congratulation on the core1 exam can i ask you a question ? do you think that this course and practicing is enough to pass the test or not hope you see my comment
@@user-ql1ht thanks. It’s hard to say because I’ve had 1 year help desk experience now so that was also very beneficial. I would recommend doing lots of practice exams, all the ones I found online were free. Regardless, I will certainly be using messers core 2 playlist next! Good luck
I'm very excited to have found this information! I will be purchasing the information on your website soon! I'm planning on leaving teaching and almost signed up for a very expensive bootcamp when all I'll need is right here! THANK YOU PROFESSOR MESSER!

Some additional information for anyone just starting their A+ studies -- Google's IT program (via Coursera) is pretty informative and gets into decent technical detail on stuff like networking and encryption (e.g. construction of data packets, specifically why RC4 was deprecated as an encryption standard, etc.), but there are areas that do not overlap with the CompTIA exam objectives, and vice versa.
Even if you take the Google classes, if you're going to take the A+ exam, Messer is comprehensive. Good job, man.
Thanks for your support!
How long did you study
I meant, how long did you study before taking your first exam
You watched the videos from his website right?
Great note on this. I'm also enrolled in the Google IT program via Coursera and it's a great jumping off point. I find that I recognize quite a bit while I'm studying the Comptia A+ official study guide.

I don't need luck. I have the Professor
Thank you so much
Thank you 🙏🏻
Thank you
Thank you 😊
As an immigrant coming from Cuba 7 years ago, I never thought that being A+ certified would be possible with all the challenges I had to face coming here. As of yesterday, 6/22/24, I am officially A+ certified passing both of my exams on first try. A big part of that I owe to Professor Messer; thank you so much for all your time and dedication that you put into your videos; sometimes it might go unnoticed but you are truly changing lives out here with the work you do.
Good luck to everyone reading this, just know that anything is possible if you put your mind to it, keep pushing and never give up!
I passed my Core 1 exam this morning! Here’s how I did it:
1) Read the course notes before watching each video.
2) Watched the video about the notes to reinforce the material.
3) Took practice tests after each module (1.0, 2.0, 3.0, 4.0, 5.0) to focus on specific content.
4) Daily practice tests: I used Messer’s practice tests every day. Instead of just memorizing the correct answers, I focused on understanding why the other options were incorrect. This made a huge difference.
5) Supplemented all of this with core 1 Quizlets made by other people on my freetime.
i did this over the course of 1.5 months, studying 2 hours everyday. You can do it in a shorter time period but dont rush through topics you dont understand.
Goodluck to everyone!
Where did you find practice tests for each module?
@@Blue-sl5bn good question. examcompass has some but the questions arent worded like the actual exam, however, they are good at re enforcing the material in your head. Also, you can find some on youtube if you search up the module, example: Core 1 Networking Module Practice Test
@@amlake5544 Thanks for this tip, I will use it
@@amlake5544u have link
Where can I find the practice exam questions coz I want to do that?
Just passed my 1102 exam about an hour ago. That makes both and am now A+ certified! Thank you Professor Messer!
Congrats! Just passed my 1101 an hour ago. Any advice on 1102
How long did you study for to be able to pass the exams?
is there any chance that you can send me the professor messer notes please
what u doing now mate
cf
how r u doing now? please keep up
The time has come - Today I officially passed my Core 2 and I am now CompTIA A+ Certified! Thank you for all your help Professor. Your videos and content are a blessing. Good luck to everyone, whether you're just starting your journey or still working towards this cert, you can do this 👍
have you also do practical tasks and if you have done please guide me is there any website is there to perfom these tasks or i have to do on my own machine/laptop
Congrats!!
Hi, if you don't mind me asking, how long it took you to learn and eventually pass ?
@@1ShaggyDog Hey - it took me about 4 months. I failed my first time on Core 1. But I mostly used these videos as well as ExamTopics. (Most answers on that site are wrong but it gets you used to the type of questions on the test.) Hope this helps!
@@ramaz678Hey sorry for the late response. For the most part I've used these videos. I've also used Exam Compass a little bit. And I used ExamTopics. Most of the answers on that site are wrong but the questions get you used to the type asked on the exam.
Good luck to everyone pursuing this career path. I am in the middle of a career change due to work culture in sales. I have to say people in IT are so kind and humble :)
I'm making the transition from finance and sales. It's a tiring job with very little reward. Good luck to you and hope everything goes well.
Same. Transitioning from finance to IT/software development.
Same here, sales is full of greedy corporate goons, and no appreciation of the human behind the salesman.
Im going to transfer over from sales. this is motivating.
Transitioning from Sales as well. Sales culture is extremely toxic in all industries. Hope you were able to reach your goal, give us an update if you were able to make the transition.
A year ago, I began my certification journey, and now, I’m proud to say I’ve earned my A+, Network+, and Security+ certifications. Professor Messer’s playlists were invaluable resources for each of these certifications. I’m incredibly grateful for the content he provides, as it played a key role in helping me achieve my goals. If you’re pursuing any of these certifications, Professor Messer’s materials are simply the best!
Which site did you get those cert
To everyone reading this, these videos are a gold mine, so please take full advantage of them. I officially became A+ certified 2 days ago and all I did was use these videos along with paying for the practice exams on Professor Messer's website and using some of the free practice questions that are available on TH-cam. You can do this! All of the resources that you need are out there, so just keep working and studying and you'll succeed. I promise. And of course, the biggest thanks in the world to you, professor, what you're doing here is legendary.
What jobs were you able to get after being certified?
@@cortesmentality haven't gotten any jobs quite yet, but I am in college right now and I am hoping to get a cybersecurity internship for next year. These videos have increased my knowledge significantly though and I'm taking the Network+ exam this week
@@LegendaryMamba24 wow, good luck 🥰
Decided I want to dedicate my time to get into IT field and try to land a job.
This is my first step.
Good luck to everyone whom I'm sharing path with.
I just did the same, good luck to you too and everyone else here as well!!!
How's it going so far
Leaving a comment here to let everyone know that I passed my 1101 exam this morning! Gonna be doing the 1102 exam in a couple week!
did you just take the Professor Messer course ?
@@ابوحميد-ش3س It's how I did most of my recent studying, but I did take the Google IT Certification about a year ago
@@ابوحميد-ش3س can’t speak for this person but it seems as if a lot of people only use professor messer’s videos and few other resources.
I just passed my 1101 this past Thursday. THANK YOU, PROF. MESSER!!!! I have zero IT experience whatsoever and scored 716. I did it in three weeks. Studied my face off. On to 1102! Again, thank you PM!!! Absolute legend.
hey i have some doubts les connect?
Just passed my Core 2/220-1102 test today, just want to say thanks for the great resource. Now onto net+!
congratulations
Just made it back from the testing center after finishing my 1102. I'm officially A+ certified!! Thank you so much Professor Messer for the videos and quiz questions. I was amply prepared for the exams. Moving on to n+!!
Looking into getting my certificates…..
I owe myself, and my family the best version of myself!
Can’t wait to share my success story with you all once I’m done!
You got this. May your journey be blessed for you and your family. Especially for you.
hope all is well. i'm about 3 weeks in but im on my way there as well!
@@doucetvfx5668 trying my best! A little behind but I’ll be back on track this week 👍🏽
wish you all the best
so hows been the journey??
Passed 5 minutes ago. I woke up this morning, and impulsively decided I didn't want to study anymore. So, I registered for the soonest opening (a friday night), and now I get the whole weekend free! I studied about a month, but I have many years experience. These videos have been rolling non-stop for weeks, and got my brain thinking about what it needed to. Thanks professor Messer. Adding, my exam only had 70 questions, dont know why? Next time, I'll prepare flash cards for acronyms. I'm also going to use a larger monitor. i had to get so close to my tiny laptop screen to be able to read, that my forehead was obscuring the webcam. They complained a couple times about it because they couldn't see behind me. Onto core 2.
Starting from 0, I’ve never studied anything related to IT but it’s always been a dream of mine so I’m taking a leap of faith onto a years long learning journey, I’ll come back and let you all know once I pass both tests :)
Care to give an update m8?
Update
Get it my man. I interviewed and got a Network Engineering job with 0 experience, just self study and am about finished with a CS degree. It's all I've wanted since 2020 and I'm making it happen. MBA in the fall. I HIGHLY suggest WGU to get that piece of paper to get into the 100k+ jobs.
How ?@@youMatterItDoesGetBetter
Be better than other people in the interview. You do whatever it takes. @@namanmishra84
2 years ago in June of 2020 I started my IT journey by watching your videos to take the A+. You introduced me to my passion and now, on this day, I’m building Dapps for Ethereum and doing something I enjoy. Thanks for giving me inspiration and motivation Professor
You started from scratch (zero knowledge of IT) ??
@@jaysteel9374 yes. zero knowledge other than normal use of my laptop
Wow that's inspiring. How did you do it? How was the journey? Some pointer would help
@@jaysteel9374 courses and certifications are a good start, plus some practical and on the job learning I would assume. Lots of hard work too
@@jaysteel9374 Make the experience as enjoyable as possible. If you view it as work you will burn out fast. Find projects that interest you and are exciting, find a niche. Also surround yourself with cool people who are helpful and will hold you accountable to keep learning
I just passed my core 1 exam about 20 minutes ago and the first thing I wanted to do is come here and show my appreciation to Professor Messer. Without your help and practice exams, I probably would't have done as well. I can't thank you enough.
Just came to say that I have passed core 1 and will be taking core 2 tomorrow, it is possible!! Just takes a lot of hard work and dedication. I cannot thank you enough for the instruction you have provided me and everyone else.
EDIT: I have passed core 2 as well! I’m now A+ Certified!
Just passed my core 1 exam! Thank YOU professor Messer!! You are truly a godsend. Aid anybody is thinking about getting the cert, DO IT! IMAGINE yourself passing the exam and truly believe in yourself!! YOU CAN DO ANYTHING!! I used professor messers videos, his practice tests, and exam compass a+ 1101 practice exams and I passed! This was for about 2 months where I really locked in on the concepts and used the exam objectives to make sure I was understanding all exam topics!! Good luck everyone and remember YOU CAN DO IT!!
Congrats.
Where do i find exam objectives
Where are the number 3.1 and so on coming from im kind of confused at that
@ the exam objectives are found on the CompTIA website
@@eX_Emi oh my gosh thank you this makes sense now
Thank you so much for providing these free resources I currently am a caretaker for my mom who is disabled and I'm limited financially and this means the world to me!
Only studied for 1 month and passed both 1101 and 1102, thank you very much. I'll be watching your network+ and security+ playlists next. I hope I can treat you to a coffee.
Congratulations on your new A+ certification, and thanks very much for your support!
Well goes the restart of me getting back into this. Hoping i can be ready by Spring of next year.
Passed the 1101 today and I think these videos were the #1 source of that success thank you for making these and putting them out for everyone to use
What other sources did you use to pass?
@@xg3400 I used Dions Practice Exams and CompTIA learning Center outside of Messers videos
@@huskycreative509 ok thanks
Passed my 1101 last week & 1102 two days ago!! Only used these videos & practice test I found online. Good Luck everyone !!
Link to practice test?? Or website name please? Thank you!n
@@Blick405 I used dion training practice test for both 1101 & 1102. I’d also find some port exercises online. Good Luck
@@Blick405 Use Jason Dion's practice tests on Udemy. They aren't free, an easy workaround is to simply go to your local library's website and look for the online resources tab, in that tab see If they have Udemy listed, so you can use it to access all Udemy courses for free.
If your library doesn't have Udemy listed, then worry not. You can use a library website from another city or state as well, as long as they don't ask you to verify you are a resident of that city.
Passed my COMPTIA 1101 Exam yesterday and I thank you for your contributions to the IT community for lending your solid expertise and experience to helping others like me succeed! I could not thank you enough, sir.
Wanted to say thanks as i continue to post questions on all the rest of the videos lol. Feels weird asking q's without the support!
Appreciate the high quality content for free. I do not take it for granted and I hope you are able to continue doing this for years to come.
We'll keep making the courses as long as people keep watching. Maybe even after that. Thanks for your support!
Came back here to share that I successfully passed both my Core 1 (Oct 30) and Core 2 (Dec 2) exams and I am now A+ certified, all thanks to these wonderful courses! Professor Messer is the GOAT for teaching everything you need to pass these exams! With that being said, I HIGHLY recommend checking out his Practice Exams, they are incredibly helpful for preparing for you exams. Be confident and know that you are in good hands here. YOU CAN DO THIS! 💪
Did you watch all the videos? and how long did it take from the time you started to getting certified?
@ Yes I went through all of the videos and purchased Messer’s practice exams which were a HUGE help. I studied for about a month or so for each exam.
@@DriftingShade You got any advice on how to just retain all this information? notes, cards, etc?
@@Blballerboy I took a lot of notes while watching the videos. There is a book I used also that's called Exam Cram and that was extremely helpful for me personally. I didn't use flashcards, but I've seen others use those and that seemed to help them remember Port Numbers and things like that.
I really appreciate your teaching style. There are no dumb little jokes, you speak very clearly and to the point, and every word you say is useful information. I'm a beer merchandiser working on my A+ certification, so I have the luxury of being able to listen to your 1101 and 1102 playlists all day while I work. I really appreciate all the knowledge you provide on top of being free and incredibly professional.
TRUE BROTHER
Good luck to everyone planning to take this exam in the future. I landed an entry level IT job a month ago, with just the Net+. I wouldn't have gotten this far without Prof Messer, so thank you very much sir. However I quickly found out that I could be a lot better at the job if I had hardware knowledge, so I'm planning to do the A+ in the near future. Good timing with this new series of videos coming out. Thank you again Prof!
How was the starting pay for you? And congrats
Just passed my CompTIA core 1 exam thanks to you professor messer! Practiced roughly 6-7 weeks with just the videos and practice exams.
Highly recommend you to anyone wanting to take the exams. Don't necessarily listen to anyone that says everything isn't included with professor Messer's videos. Found he has a laser focus on the exam objectives and although I had questions I'd never seen before on the exam..was still able to power through them.
I had knowledge before already with computers and servers - port forwarding etc (hosted game servers). Again can't recommend you enough!
How many hours a week did you practice?
@@mco233 hard to say exactly. It was around 2-4 hours daily. So something like 20 hours a week.
Mostly doing something else whilst listening to his videos. Anything I needed to actually see, say switches or a ONT I would obviously watch and research further.
Messer, I PASSED all thanks to you! Be warned everyone, it is pretty heavy on the content, but all thanks to you I got my first certificate. THANK YOU!!!
I just want to thank you professor, I just got my A+ certification thanks to you.
How long did it take if you dnt mind me asking and did you have experience before and any tips?
@@grassthenoob6371 I have always struggled with school and been a slow learner and unable to really focus, so I took it slow. To pass both took me a bit under a year (I hear most people take only a month or two). What I do suggest is writing notes and if possible, do his practice exams. In addition, you need to understand how all the material relates to each other and their applications. The exam will never ask you what does X stand for. It will say something more along the lines of, this just happened, what do you do next? In addition, two of the answers will seem valid. Often times, I would find myself down to a 50/50 guess.
If I were to do it all over again, I would find labs that I could do after watching and understanding his videos.
@@MordredPendragonred can i ask you a question , i want to take the exam is this course and the practice exams enough to get the certificate in your opinion
@@user-ql1ht If you get the practice exams from the professor, you may as well study using all the material he provides (videos and stuff). If you just do the practice exams and not watch the videos or study, I don't think you would pass. That being said, the Professor has some of the best exams out there. He not only tells you the answer to the question and why its the right answer but also explains the wrong answer and why they are wrong.
Passed my 1101 about a month ago, just passed my 1102 yesterday! Thank you so much for all the hard work spent creating this course. Your practice exams were incredibly helpful.
any tips on where should i focus on in my 1101 and 1102?
Hey there! Congrats, did you use the Comptia A+ book along with his resources? Or just his?
This timing is absolutely crazy. All I can say is thank you and so much respect to making this available. Cheers from SA 🇿🇦
Thanks a ton Professor! I just passed my 220-1102 this morning and now I'm fully certified! I studied primarily with your course notes, practice tests, and video series from 2019. This is an incredible resource you've provided and I can't thank you enough!
@@fibregaming2gaming243 I had it scheduled to take from home, but I actually canceled it and took it in person. There's no end of horror stories online about forfeited vouchers and horrible customer support. It seems like any convenience from taking it online is outweighed by the draconian online proctoring requirements. Take a look for yourself, but it seemed to me that taking the test in person was clearly the better option if you're able.
Were the old notes good enough for the new 1102 test?
@@ancho_vz There were some gaps but generally yes. Absolutely, absolutely do not take the test without looking at the exam objectives first. I went through the objectives line by line and anything that wasn't in the course notes I googled.
Is there much of a difference between 1002 and 1102?
I'm thinking about taking the old one since there is not enough material for the new version yet.
@@ahmed12t I didn't take the 1002. So I can't really speak to any differences besides whatever is listed in the exam objectives. However, I was able to pass both using the information in this course and some supplementary material for the new objectives. The day before the exam I went through the objectives line-by-line and made sure to Google anything I didn't understand.
your names been highly recommended all over the internet for learning CompTia. Im excited to start following
Finally get to thank you myself. Professor Messer, thank you for all the help you've been, without you I don't think i could've done it, but i finally passed both cores of the A+ exam!
I'll never forget what you've done for me and countless other techs beginning our journeys. I'll be going for the rest of the trifecta next, so I'll see you in Net+ soon.
One more time, thank you for everything!
Just study Messer's videos to pass the Comptia A+ exam?
your a hero and this praise is still an understatement a lot of people what have put these videos behind a paywall thx for the help
Passed Core 1 Today using Professor Messer's Videos! What an amazing resource and person overall! Moving on to Core 2! :) Thanks so Much Professor Messer. Total study time with breaks in between roughly 26 days. Goodluck everyone! You can do it!
Hey, Just wanted to say thank you. I've passed my core exam today. Most of my revision was from your training videos and study group videos.
I started watching these videos today. Reading the comments inspired me to get started. I’m commenting to keep myself accountable. Wish me luck! I’ll try to remember to come back to give an update. 😂
Professor Messer thank you very much for everything and for all the knowledge you provide us with! Passed three days ago the Core 1 Exam with a score 732! No previous experience in IT only your videos and many practice exams!
Thought i'd comment today after passing 220-1101 today. Thanks professor, your videos were invaluable to my studies. Also, your practice tests I can FOR SURE say were a huge contributor to my passing score.
For anyone studying for your A+, keep it up! You got this.
Can i take the exam december 2024?
I recently started studying for A+ as I'm planning a career change. So glad I found this channel!
same.
I am mad curious and want to know what your previous career was. Mind telling me? It is alright if not.

Just cleared A+ 1101 using these videos and another trainer practice tests. Now I'm on to 1102. 🇲🇿🇲🇿🇲🇿
10 years ago I saw your videos and studied quite a bit but ended up in a different career, 10 years later I'm back to try and finish what I started. Let's go, baby!

Had to come back and say thanks to prof messer. I have used his resources (practice exams, videos, and course notes). I took 10 days for 1101 and 15 days for 1102 to pass. He is indeed the 'GOAT'
Hey Professor! Just wanted to say thank you, I took my Core 1 test today and passed thanks to you! I only used your videos to learn the material and felt super confident going into my exam. I really appreciate you and the hard work you put into making these videos. And good luck to everyone else starting their journey, you can do it!!!
Thank you for your amazing videos!
Thanks for your support!
I just passed my Core 1 exam(1101)!! 715 score(675 is pass out of 900) These videos definitely helped, even though ive been doing hands on IT personally for 9 years. The exam definitely was a little different than his practice exams, and IMO harder but i think its a little bit of luck on the questions you get but a lot of studying that these videos covered almost everything. The exam says some questions dont count and those random questions are for their research to see if you know anything outside the testing requirements. unfortunately they dont tell you how anything is calculated and what questions didnt count. Just study this, make sure you know everything DEFINITELY get the practice exams and get 85/90 right before taking and i think you will do fine! good luck!
Bro when did the exam happen any time or particular date ??
🎉🎉🎉 Good Job
Thank you Professor Messer, passed my core 1 today. Your content is a God send
amazing i hope i do well on core1
I just passed the Core 1 exam today! 😀 Thank you for sharing your training videos Professor! This is very helpfuI for those who wants to be A+ certified. Road to Core 2!!❤️
How often did you watch these videos to pass the exam? I'm not exactly great at memorizing.
Had to come back where it started to say that I have now passed my 1101 and 1102 certification tests! Prof. M's videos as well as practice exams were a huge component of me passing! Thanks again!
Thank you professor i did pass the exam yesterday ! may god bless you for all the free stuff you do for the community
Just earned my A+ certification using only Professor Messer's videos and his notes and practice exams (worth every penny, imo). Thank you so much Professor Messer for providing this outstanding content and helping me advance my IT career! I had to come back and leave this comment. Cheers!
Just passed 1101 last night taking 1102 in a couple of days. I was amazed at how many questions were about fixing printers.
Good to know - my printer hates me lmao
I am going to be using all of Prof. Messer's study reccomendations (labs, comptia study books, practice exams), am hoping to take it sometime this fall. Will update how I did!
is there any chance that you can send me the professor messer notes please
Hello, have you done the exams for the CompTIA ?
Thank you good sir, watching your videos helped me get my CompTIA A+ certificate...with flying colours I might add. To any one reading this and contemplating how good the videos are - His videos are all I used to study, nothing else. He's concise, gives you the info you need with some real world examples. A month and half and I have my certificate, you wont regret it. Again, thank you sir
Just passed my 1102 (and my 1101 a couple months back) mostly because of your free videos and cheap paid content. Appreciate you, professor
Hi There! Congratulations! May I ask you one question? Do you think it's enough Prof. Messer's free TH-cam video and practice Exam to pass CompTIA? There are so many confusing instructors out there with different content than Professor Messer!
@ferewoyanitsegazeab7631 in my opinion, free videos, plus course notes and practice exams will likely be sufficient depending on your preexisting subject knowledge.
Hey Professor! I have recently passed my 1101 & 1102 tests. Your videos have been pretty critical in that achievement! After failing the practice exams a few times I went online looking for resources that can help me break down which sections I was lacking in. Your playlist, albeit lightweight to be concise, was a massive help in getting me good, digestible information. I look forward to levying your playlists when the time comes for me to take my Network+ and Sec+ certifications. Thanks!
Thank you ! just started my IT journey today by watching your videos, I see myself working in a cyber security role in the near future. Thank you for the motivation!!
I really can't put into words just how grateful I am for this resource. You were a big help in passing my A+ exam. Thanks again, Professor, for all that you've done for us.
Thanks for the videos Professor! With just these videos I passed my core 1 on the first try, Taking the core 2 next month. I would recommend anyone to watch all your content!!
Hey dear.
Kindly were did you take the test and what was the cost?
Thank you!
I just passed my comptia 1101 using ONLY this resource and practice questions. I take the 1102 in another week or two and I couldn't have done it without you. I went from pretty much only knowing how to turn a computer on and browsing the internet to passing 1101 in about 5 days. Most people take a minimum of a few months - but seriously - thank you.
Had to come back to the original video and say THANK YOU. These videos the way they are detailed and explained helped me pass my second attempt at the core 1 final. Now on to core 2 and anyone struggle you got this!
Honestly, I want to take some time to appreciate how well done these videos are, from start to finish, even with a summary at the end to go over everything that was talked about. Very well done!
Just passed my core 1 exam two days ago. These videos are the most solid videos for passing the exams. I didn't feel confident until I stumbled onto this Playlist. I had 75 questions in total.
Biggest tip that you would be willing to share when it comes to the exam?
@@travisjudd7392 I would say
make sure you really read and understand what the questions are asking. I had a few times during revision that is completely misunderstood the question and had to change my answer.
Practice simulations a lot. I had simulations on the exam that were similar to some of the practice sims here on TH-cam. These are normally the first set of questions and can really take up time if you are stumped on them.
And last I would say if you come across a question that is giving you issues mark it for later and move on. You want to finish the question that you are sure you know and have enough time to come back and analyze the question/s that stumped you. I found this to be effective and I always have enough time to do at least 1 and a half revisions. Hope this helps and good Luck!
Thanks to Professor Messer i passed the 1101 and 1102 exams, finished the book before watching the youtube channel and i have to be honest, it was super usefull to me to understand some of the technologies with pictures and a better understanding of the nitty gritty stuff.
😂 I started taking notes on your old course for A+ 1001 so I’m happy I just started 3 days again to take these notes and get ready for this test and thank you for these videos
You have helped so much Professor Messer, today I passed my core 1, and I am proud of myself. Thank you for your videos, just a tip to everyone, don't stress yourself out, be confident, be positive, and mostly study much! ❤❤
Hi, did you come from an IT background and did you use other sources?
Hey there, i have a question. I am on my way to study for CompTIA A+ exam. The thing is when I visited CompTIA website, I saw the certification was launched in 2019 and was retired in 2022 so I was confused about the thing. What does that mean? Could you explain that to me? Thanks!
I have zero experience in IT but have been taking classes at my local college and got a degree in cybersecurity, just passed my SEC+ and now working on A+ then Net+. Really hope this all can land me a remote Job since I have a messed up back.
That is a good foundation you have. Most likely, you can get a job as a SOC Analyst!
Started my journey today, have lots of time, and lots of motivation to get out of construction, going to dedicate and hopefully pass both of these over the next few months, Thanks for all the hard work and time you spent putting these videos together!!!!
I passed my Core 1 exam a couple weeks ago and I passed my Core 2 exam earlier today! Thanks Professor! Your videos really helped me out and I'll definitely be using your Network+ and Security+ courses when I study for those exams in the future.
I'm currently in grad school while working as an IT Support Shift Lead and Junior Business Analyst. However, I've had trouble staying committed due to not knowing how to prepare adequately for the exam. I appreciate your videos and will hopefully have good news soon when I decide to take it.
I just want to give a HUGE thanks to you Professor Messer, for providing this incredible information all for free! It is exactly what I needed to advance and start a career in IT.
Thank You Professor Messer! I just passed my 1101 test and I used your videos to get there. I watched the entire video series A+ Training Course one time through to see if IT was right for me. The way you presented the concepts was very approachable and easy to learn. After getting this overview of the information and deciding it was right for me I then watched the entire series a second time and took detailed notes. I then immediately purchased and took one of your practice tests (Thank you for providing more than one practice test!). I did not do great on this first practice test, but it did give me an idea of how much more I needed to study and where to focus my studies. The practice tests were also very helpful in preparing for the format of the actual test. I then focused my studies in the areas I needed the most help and proceeded to take the next test when I felt more prepared. I did great on the second test and that prompted me to schedule the real thing! I took the third and final practice test the day before my actual exam to get in the proper mindset of test taking/ find any last minute topics I needed to focus. This entire process took me 2 months of studying and I would not have been able to do it without your help. Thanks again and wish me luck on 1102!
Edit: I have now passed my 1102 Exam as well all thanks to your videos!
Took and passed! Thank you for taking the time to create these videos and upload them✨️

Thank you so much Professor Messer! I passed the 1101 in December of 2022 and 1102 in February of 2023. Took me about 6 months all together. I listened to your videos constantly and found great confidence with your practice tests purchased through your website. Best wishes to everyone in the community. If you keep at it, you WILL pass!
I passed my Core 1 exam today, thank you!
Hey professor. I just want to say thank you for all of these videos. Thanks to you over the past 4 weeks with strict studying with your content i have passed my a+, net+ and sec+ - i really hope you expand into some of the other comptia certs - not sure how ill pass my cloud+ without your vids❤
Bro how the hell did you do all that in 4 weeks? Props to you and congratulations!!
how many hours a day?!
Studied for 25 hours a day
is this the only thing you used to study?
did you have a format for yourself to stick to so you wouldnt go off track or daydream? Currently my biggest struggle
Messer has great videos over CompTIA material. Highly recommend! As someone with multiple certs in IT, Messer has excellent videos at getting to the point and helping people understand the material.
As of today I am A+ certified. Thank you, professor.
Thank you professor for you amazing training that help me a lot to get the job as Datacenter Technician, even before I pass the a+ exams
I just passed my core 1 exam 30 minutes ago. 12 months help desk experience now. Watched this playlist of videos twice and did some free practice questions online. Good luck to all! Thanks professor!!!
hello brother congratulation on the core1 exam can i ask you a question ? do you think that this course and practicing is enough to pass the test or not hope you see my comment
@@user-ql1ht thanks. It’s hard to say because I’ve had 1 year help desk experience now so that was also very beneficial. I would recommend doing lots of practice exams, all the ones I found online were free. Regardless, I will certainly be using messers core 2 playlist next! Good luck
Dropping past to say thank you . I passed 1101 today and watched your videos to help better understand topic I was unsure about .
I'm very excited to have found this information! I will be purchasing the information on your website soon! I'm planning on leaving teaching and almost signed up for a very expensive bootcamp when all I'll need is right here! THANK YOU PROFESSOR MESSER!
