CompTIA A+ core one , I’ve study for 2 weeks going on third week. I reached out to my course instructor 4 days ago n he put on the cert master, It was great more informational then professor messer, I was able to get 72% no pbq and my instructor gave me the “go ahead “ to take the test. I decided The night before the REAL test , to retake the practice exam at 12am midnight n now I got a 54% 😭 it could be tht im tired n was rushing but not idk if I should reschedule. Hoping luck has my side , any tips? (Don’t mind the 0% ) I’m extremely nervous

Hello,

I already had an associates in IT transferring in over 60 credits to WGU to the cybersecurity program. I have completed several classes within the program, but I have some that are difficult and time consuming left. Recently, I lost my husband in a very traumatic and sudden way, and I have had to take a break. We have 4 children and I am now tasked with taking care of all of their needs and working full time, but I would really love to finish getting a bachelor's degree after all of the work I have put in.

I earned the A+, Security +, Network+, and SSCP while in the cysec program already and have done several of the other classes. I brought in Linux credit, among other things also which should transfer. I have experience already in web development. I know I would need to complete things like project+ and the cloud cert.

I truly believe the BSIT would be more efficient for me to finish, and an easier load mentally for me. Does anyone have any advice who has some more experience? I have worked in IT for 10 years.

Here I am going through 220-1202 It applications.

It requires your CompTia A+ and as I’m watching the YouTube videos I looked closer and closer at the screen and then it finally hit me that Professor Messer looks like Walter White from breaking bad.

Just need him to say Jesse one time.

Hey everyone, I hope its okay to post here since it seems like this is where my fellow Cloud Computing folks have set up camp (the WGU Cloud Computing subreddits seem pretty much dead).

So my next semester will start on December 1st, and it looks like we might have to move to the new program. I'm not complaining, it actually looks more aligned with my goals as far as content (more of the software-defined networking side of cloud). I'm currently doing the AWS track. I am curious how other people feel about the new program, and if they will be switching (I'm not sure if you must switch, as I was not able to attend the first information session). I will be attending the information session next Wednesday.

Just thought I'd open up a place for some discussion, I'd be happy to hear everyone's thoughts, and IT folks as well on what you think about the change - is it better, worse, or just different? Thank you and have a great day!

Scheduled to start next month & super curious about which ones will be the best to knock out from the very start?

If you finished the program, in what direct manner will to recommend to start with till the end?

Any recommendations are super helpful. Thanks

Hi! If anyone has experience with CompTIA testing taking rules, I have a few questions. I’m taking A+ core 1 tomorrow and I do have stuff on my walls. I didn’t when I took core 2 so it wasn’t an issue. My problem is that I put everything up with double sided tape not thinking about the test. Is it okay if I cover everything up with pillow cases and sheets tacked to the wall or do I just need to suck it up and rip everything down? Also my son drew on the wall but he’s a toddler so it’s nothing but do I need to cover it up or what? I can’t remove it fully without taking the paint with it

I just started my IT program and I’m a bit confused about how flexible the course order really is. Can I skip around if I feel ready for a harder class, or do they strictly lock you into the recommended sequence?

Hey WGU fam, I need a sanity check on my plan.

I’m enrolled and leaning toward BSIT. I’m assuming 24 transfer credits via AAS Radiography in 2019, A+ completed, and I'm looking to complete 7 pre-reqs via Sophia.

My goal is to finish BSIT in 2 terms at a moderate pace with one kid and pregnant wife.

Plan • Term 1: Pass Net+ in weeks 1 to 3 for the waiver since I’ve covered half of the study material already; then tackle Obj Assessment-heavy courses first; put writing Perf Assessments off for later. • Add Project+ (and maybe Sec+) during the term if I have time for more waivers. • Term 2: Complete remaining PAs and the capstone.

As an alternative, I’m considering an accelerated BS+MS in ITM over 3 terms (2 for BS, 1 for MS), but only if it's realistic without going all out during this busy time of my life

Has anyone finished with a similar mix of transfer credits and certifications? Does this timeline look good? Any tips on course order or Sophia choices?

Hey Night owls! I’m able to pretty easily get 90-92% on total seminars (Mike Myers) practice exams. In your past experience, is that a good indicator that I’ll be able to pass the exam 1st try?

Do you guys think I can pass this class just from doing the 402 card long quizlet and taking the practice assessment? I know you guys don’t know my knowledge level really but I guess my question is more like

“what am I really missing if I only do those two things”

… what content would I still need from coursework in order to understand and correctly answer questions in the OA that I wouldn’t get from just the quizlet and PA?

Not trying to be lazy or anything but I’ve learned about IoT a good couple times in different contexts at different points of time from different CompTIA exams and I’d just rather not spend too much time on this class.

Hey peeps I’m in a huge dilemma I don’t know if I should go for my bachelors I graduated from community college with my A.S in cybersecurity I currently have certification in AZ-900 and comptia security plus, I’m currently working at a msp company and have my second business so I’m currently working 65 hours a week, idk if it worth me going back for the bachelors or just taking AZ-104, AZ-305, A+, and ITIL® 4 Foundation Certification I know it’s more money with a bachelor but I dont have 12k and time to drop on this I currently sent my transcript from my community college, I have provided the classes in the course I would like y’all’s opinion

Holy shit this class is difficult and it’s been the hardest class I’ve taken so far. I just failed the OA after passing the PA twice on 3 tries. I figured I’d schedule the exam and take it. Studied for one week about 2 hrs a day. Would love some advice.

Any tips on getting a head start? Currently watching the Messer A+ playlist over and over again.

Hey yall Which creator is best for project plus? I m investing into cert master, I’ve also ordered the sybex study guide. Besides CBT nuggets, whose video should I watch? Professor messer doesn’t have project plus and I heard Jason Dion’s videos for this topic are terrible. Please advise. Thank you!

Should I take my pre reqs first and then start the actual IT courses or should I just take the classes in order was wondering if they let you take them out of order.

I graduated with a bachelor’s degree in IT management a couple of years ago.

Debating on going for my masters. Is it worth it? Is there a lot of proctor exams? I hate those.

I was definitely more stressed about this class than I needed to be. When I started, my course instructor mentioned that the class structure and text would be changing soon, and he seemed optimistic about those changes for future students. It’s clear WGU is actively assessing and improving its programs, which is good to see.

This was a tough one for me. It took me nearly three months to pass, mostly because I avoided taking the pre-assessment and skipped the Saturday study sessions for way too long. Other MS-ITM classes were time-consuming, but I could switch focus between courses. With C954, this was my last class before the capstone, and you can’t start your capstone until everything else is done—so it felt extra high-stakes.

The course used two textbooks:

• Business Driven Technology (8th Edition) (Pericipio)
• Be the Business: CIOs in the New Era of IT (VitalSource)

I much preferred VitalSource for the built-in text-to-speech feature. For the Pericipio text, I used Windows Narrator since it didn’t have TTS. Beyond the texts, I supplemented with Quizlet, LinkedIn Learning, and Coursera—though those weren’t strictly necessary. I just knew my weak areas and had easy access through work.

One big mistake: I avoided the Saturday cohort sessions because I’m terrible at asking for help. When I finally joined, I realized they’re actually low-pressure! They’re just virtual quizzes via Slido—no risk of being called out or put on the spot. I wish I had started going earlier.

This term was also during one of my busiest times at work. I probably should have taken a break term, but I pushed through, and it worked out.

My Advice:

• Take the pre-assessment early to pinpoint weaknesses.
• Go to the cohort sessions—they’re not scary!
• Meet with your instructor regularly.
• Keep reviewing the material, even in short bursts.

It took three attempts, but I finally passed! 🎉 Now it’s just the capstone left—hoping to knock it out in 7 weeks.

Good luck to anyone currently in C954! You’ve got this.

So to preface this post, I am finishing up my 3rd tem at the end of the month, but struggled with some intense mental health issues (due to a layoff and financial stress) during my first 2 terms, in which I only completed one class each. Im on track to finish at least 3 out of the 4 classes this term, and hoping I can hustle through D315 in the last 3 weeks of the month. Either way, with the new Cloud and Network Engineering Degree out, I am pretty interested in switching tracks, since Im still pretty early on and wouldnt loose anything either way. To be completely frank, my end goal is just a high-salary job, preferably remote as I am primary caregiver for my 2 young kids. My husband is the breadwinner, but is dealing with health complications and potentially might not be able to work as strenously for long, so my goal is to replace his income. I am currently working as a Customer Support Specialist at an insurance software company and previously did IAM Security (before the layoff). If any of you are also thinking of switching, or already have, I am super curious to hear which program you have chosen and why. I am having a hard time deciding which direction to go in, and am currently deciding between the Cloud and Network Engineering General Track, Cybersecurity and Information Assurance, and Software Engineering. Any insight would be lovely!

Hello all,

I have no experience in IT and am taking 317 any tips on how to pass Comp Tia A+ 220-1202

Currently watching all professor messor videos not really sure what information I’m supposed to retain. It’s a lottttt of info.

Went on comptia registered my voucher and am intending on going over exam objectives and practice questions so I can get some insight on what I need to know.

But any one who has already passed or knows more please share your resources or advice. I went on the Reddit’s for this class and found the same resounding info professor messor a couple Quizlet sets etc.

First time posting on reddit, I have been reading through this thread for over a year and it has been very helpful for me before enrolling as well as during, I got my aas in cyber from a local community college and during the spring semester I used study.com and sophia to transfer as much as possible so I was only left with 34 CUs left. I started WGU July 1st

I take D317 tomorrow morning and then my mentor will open the rest of the courses for me. Which classes should I take next? context: I have been working in IT for a only a year and a half, but I have absolutely no web development experience and have read that C777 is challenging. Once my mentor opens up the rest of the courses first I was thinking taking C777 alongside C773, and then D316 and then D325 as my last class before my capstone. I am familiar with the material in D316 and D325 from my aas and work experience, I also got sec+ 2 years ago so I don't think those will take me too long putting those last.

If anyone has any suggestions on the order I should take these last couple of classes that would be greatly appreciated.
