I think adaptive tests with simulators are the best kind to take. This way you can't pass a test with dumb luck like you can an MCSE test. Adaptive tests are better I think because you need to know an answer to a question and be sure of it. No opportunity to go back and change it and maybe get it right by changing it. Makes for a harder test with or without simulations.That is one reason I feel the CNE is a not so much sought after credential and also that is it considered to be more difficult due to its adaptive testing nature. |

What a laugh! This illustrates just how incredibly clueless CompTIA is! First, they dumb down the Network(plus) exam by revising it to meet the expectations of anyone with 9 monthes experience with a computer, then they talk about making it adaptive. There is nothing wrong with the adaptive format if you understand the psychometrics behind it - which CompTIA does not. They rank all questions in three categories - easily, medium, and hard and then make the hard questions worth 1300 because it is easier than their hiring anyone who knows what they are doing. Add to that the statmement that they are considering adaptive testing to limit exposure to the database. HaHaHaHa! With a pass rate near 75% - the highest in the entire industry - you don't have a whole lot of exposure to the database in the first place! |

I read recently in Certification Magazine that CompTIA is going to take the Microsoft route and "revamp" their tests every 18-24 months. Not all of us can afford to take exams, let alone re-educate ourselves in this economy. STOP GEARING EVERYTHING TO THE RICH!!! |

Hey Anonymous -- dont' worry! CompTIA certifications are good for life, so you don't need to upgrade every time the exam is upgraded. |

I think the Adaptive format is better because if you know the material you dont have to sit thru a bunch of easy questions. I also think that all IT Certifications should require to be Re-Certified every 24-36 months at a very low price say $40.00. |

Mark, Re-cert is definitely in order, however, $40??? I'm not a cheap person on the average, but what the hell is this cost estimate based on? First of all, 135 or 125 is rediculous to begin with. 40 is still on the stupid side. Tests should be bought in value packs that maybe expire after 2 years or so. Re-cert value packs maybe wont expire for 3-4 years. Make a value pack of lets say 5 tests worth what one costs today. Anyone listening ??? |

I THINK that ALL test that are Upgraded Like the A-Plus test SHOULD BE RENEWED . I am going to be taking mine soon. BUT only because I have to. WHAT good is it? I know people who took the A-Plus test When 486'and Pentium Rocked the world, Before Pentium 2,3, and 4, before AMD and 168 DIM's before PCI before AGP. well You get the jist. SO much changes in the industery. WHAT good is it if you don't keep it up to date? every 3 years at a Renewal Rate like $50.00 to keep your certificate would be fine with me. WHY should someone who took the test 7 years ago. and hasn't used it GET a job over me who has been doing it for OVER 20 years?? I have helped at least 4 people who were aPlus certified fix problems within 2 minutes because they had know clue how to do it. |

I hear ya. been there. and feel the same way. I know a few guys I work with who are NOT Aplus Cert. But they can run circles around a few guys I know who are! go figure.. |

Stop complaining! You know I live in New Zealand where I had to pay $590 for the A-plus and $435 for Network-plus, this is heaps for an 18 year old. The good thing about comptia is your certification are yours for lifetime. Better than Microsoft where you have to udate your exams every 2 years. I guess I will have to do that as well since I want MCSA and MCSE |

I have to make this comment- I hold a U.S. Federal Communications Commission Radiotelephone Operators License. When I first recieved it, I had to renew it every five years.(precomputer days!) Then they issued me a lifetime license- the only thing they do now is contact other federal agencies, to find out where I am working. There are certain illegal activities that because I hold a federal license, gets me in deeper if I ever were involved in those particular activities, which of course, I avoid. There are certain things that you can do, and certain things that you should avoid doing with just about any kind of knowledge- that is why certification is important- it is true that there are many people in many occupations that require licenses, certifications, and permits, and some of them make us ask "how did he or she qualify?" Some of us are just good test takers. Application of the aquired sometimes doesn't match that which is required! r |
