Tips for Taking the Security Exam

Tips for Taking the Security+ Exam

Here are some general tips for taking your exam successfully:

  • Bring two forms of ID with you. One must be a photo ID, such as a driver's license. The other can be a major credit card or a passport. Both forms must contain a signature.

  • Arrive early at the exam center so you can relax and review your study materials, particularly tables and lists of exam-related information.

  • Read the questions carefully. Don't be tempted to jump to an early conclusion. Make sure you know exactly what the question is asking.

  • Don't leave any unanswered questions. Unanswered questions are scored against you.

  • There will be questions with multiple correct responses. When there is more than one correct answer, a message at the bottom of the screen will prompt you to "Choose all that apply." Be sure to read the messages displayed.

  • When answering multiple-choice questions you're not sure about, use a process of elimination to get rid of the obviously incorrect answers first. This will improve your odds if you need to make an educated guess.

  • On form-based tests, because the hard questions will eat up the most time, save them for last. You can move forward and backward through the exam.

  • For the latest pricing on the exams and updates to the registration procedures, visit CompTIA's website at www.comptia.org.
