3. Exams. CompTIA 220-601 adopts computer-based testing as its testing method, and results can be known just after finishing the exam, whether you have pass or not can be known immediately. Test results will be uploaded by the test center back to the test company’s central server at the end of everyday’s test, and processed test results will be sent by the test company to the IT company who has commissioned this test to decide whether to grant certificates or not. Because it adopts the internet-based test, and the result could be acquired immediately, so the subjects are all objective items, 80% of them are choice questions. Other kinds of questions are dragging question (that is to drag the choice of answers to a certain location), fill-in (mainly some simple commands, such as Cisco’s IOS command), simulated operation (such as the emergence of a IIS in the MMC console interface, to give some of the requirements for your practice). There are some questions such as case study (ie, fisrt a long period account of case, and then according to the case to answer more than 10 multi-choice questions).

220-601 exam item pool is offerd and maintained by the companies which entrust the examination center to hold exams and provide the assement criteria and testing strategies themselves. At the beginning of each exam you must answer questions such as “your income,” “the nature of your work,” “who pays the exam for you ” and other issues then you can begin a formal examination. This part of questions are not related to the exam, these IT companies want to make statistics about the structures of candidates by this way, therefore, you only need to give honest answers. However, this same question about a time limit, but also choose kinds of questions, looked very much like a formal examination, and often allow people to participate in CompTIA certification exams for the first time a friend at a loss.

What I want to remind everyone here is that, please make sure you understand, before you decide to take the exam, that in the field of IT, there’s no kind of certification is almighty, or “a jack of all trades”. As the requirements of its own characteristics of the IT industry, it has very fine division of labor, such as an Internet, office software applications, software development, computer installation and maintenance, databases, graphics, image processing and many other different areas. And with the development of IT industry, new fields will continue to appear, and new kind of computer certification test will also emerge because of demand or opportunity and so on to update the old certificates. If the applicant wants to enter one field in IT industry, he should try to acquire the certification in the field, even if the hot CompTIA A+ certification certification is not almighty. Therefore, before the training and exam, the examinee should have a clear goal in his head and try to get the most authoritative and latest certificate that is a golden key to the IT industry.

Next, people could freely choose authentication test suitable for themselves, but they shouldn’t follow the trend blindly, they could sign up after having enough knowledge of certification about its suitable groups, its faced market segment and gold content. Most importantly, you should choose the certificate on the base of your specialty and development orientation. For example, the authentication for people who are interested in network and hope to be a network administrator from now on, include: MCP, MCSE of Microsoft, CNE, MCNE of Novell, SCJP of Sun and so forth. If you are good at database, then you can take certification test like MCDBA of microsoft or others concerning database like Oracle, Sybase, and IBM. Besides, there are also some authentications concerning the figure and image, people, who are interested in graphic design, webpage making and so on, could consider them.
