Description

This course's purpose is to provide students with notes to serve as supplemental material to Total Seminars CompTIA A+ (220-1102) course by Mike Meyers. These notes will help you review the concepts that are discussed that are covered in his course and that are on the exam.Setting your Expectations for this course - What are you getting?I really want to emphasize that this is a course where you are purchasing notes on Mike Meyer's (15 hour) TOTAL: CompTIA A+ Certification (220-1102) course (Total Seminars)This is not a course where I will be providing any explanations. Please do not expect this.For explanations, purchase Mike Meyer's video course.For notes/supplemental materials for the video course, purchase this course.Why do you need my notes? How will this help me?For the most part, the topics you'll need to learn for the exam are conceptual, meaning you learn a concept and that's what you'll need to know to answer the questions correctly.The problem is, Mike Meyers's CompTIA A+ 1102 course, which is the best on the market, runs 15 hours long. Retaining these concepts without taken extensive notes is a very difficult task.           My notes provide you with….                      Visualizations  - taken directly from Mike Meyers's video course!                      Explanations - written in a efficient way to allow you to quickly recall the informationAnd, for those topics that you just need to (I hate this word so much) memorize, I will provide you with strategies that I've used myself to pass the exam.What's the best way to use my notes?For best results, I highly suggest you…..           Preview: Read through the notes first. (Even a simple scan of the pages is better than not having any preview at all.)           Watch: Watch the videos by Mike Meyers associated with the chapter.           Review: Review the notes again to promote memorization.Reviewing notes is key for recalling concepts, which is exactly what you'll need to do to pass the CompTIA A+ exam.WHAT'S COVERED IN THIS COURSE?Exam Domain 1.0 Operating Systems - 27%Operating system types and purposes (Windows, MacOS, iOS, Android, Linux, etc.)Windows versionsOS installationCommand-line toolsExam Domain 2.0 Security - 24%Physical security (locks, badge readers, guards, etc.)Logical security concepts (Active Directory, antivirus/anti-malware, firewalls, certificates, etc.)Wireless security protocols (WPA, WPA2, RADIUS, etc.)Detect and prevent malwareSocial engineering threats, attacks, and vulnerabilities (hackers, phishing, DDoS, brute force, man-in-the-middle, etc.)Secure workstations and mobile devicesExam Domain 3.0 Software Troubleshooting - 26%Troubleshoot Microsoft OS, PC security, mobile OS, and application issuesMalware removalExam Domain 4.0 Operational Procedures - 23%Best practices for documentation, change management, disaster prevention and recovery, safety procedures, and moreDifferent types of licenses and policiesProfessional conductScripting (JavaScript, Python, Visual Basic, etc.)Remote access technologiesEXAM INFOExam code: 220-1102Max. 90 questions (multiple choice, drag-and-drop, and performance-based)Length of exam: 90 minutesPassing score: 675 (on a scale of 100-900)Exam cost: $232Languages: English at launch​.
