CompTIA A+ Core 1 220-1001
1. Computing Technology Industry Association: What does CompTIA stand for?
2. -A+, Network +, Security +, CySA (Cyber Security Analyst): Different types of
IT Certifications
3. -2 exams (Core 1 220-1001 & Core 2 220-1002): What are the two CompTIA
Exams Called
4. 675 passing score and 90 Questions: What is the passing score for CompTIA
Exam and how many questions?
5. 1.0 Mobile Devices 14%, 2.0 Network 20%, 3.0 Hardware 7 %, 4.0 Virtual-
ization & Cloud Computing 12%, 5.0 Hardware & Network Troubleshooting
27%: What subjects are on the exam and what are the percentages? Example: The
first is Mobile Devices: 14%
6. -Phillips screwdriver + phone for manuals
-Old tool: IC Inserter/extractor- designed to plug in integrated circuits, Hemo-
stats
-Purchase a laptop/mobile device tool kit (ex: iFixit tool kits)
-nut drivers, spudgers (pry tools), tweezers
-volt/ohm meter (multimeter), 3 prong voltage tester
-Thumb Drives, technicians get their own stack of software overtime. Thumb
Drive for tool & second one for antimalware: Good tools to have for repairs
7. IC Extractor:
8. -Step 1: Identify the problem
-Question the user (what's the problem?")
-Inquire regarding environmental or infrastructure issues
-Review system and application logs
-Step 2: Establish a theory of probable cause (question the obvious)
-Step 3: Test the theory to determine cause
-Escalate the issue if necessary (ex: calling for some help)
-Step 4: Establish a plan of action to resolve the problem and implement the
solution
-Step 5: Verify full system functionality and, if applicable, implement preven-
tative measures
-Step 6: Document findings, actions, and outcomes: What are the 6 Steps of the
Troubleshooting Theory?
9. >EMP: Electromagnetic Pulse (EMP) is not a tool, it is a cause of problems.
All the other choices are common tools used by technicians.: Which item is
not likely to be found in a technician's toolkit? -Tweezers, nut driver, spudger, emp,
hemostat
