[bs_icon name=”glyphicon glyphicon-chevron-right”] # 1 DON’T CRAM :

We can’t stress this enough. Don’t cram, don’t cram, don’t cram! Cramming sessions are non-productive in every way. You don’t learn the material; you only memorize answers, and it leaves you tired, frustrated and foggy-headed.

 

 

[bs_icon name=”glyphicon glyphicon-chevron-right”]  # 2 DO PLAN :

Take some time to plan small study sessions for every day; maybe 15 minutes. It will feel intimidating at first to see all those study times on your calendar, but you’ll find it easier to commit to studying. No more I’ll-do-it-tomorrow excuses.

 

 

[bs_icon name=”glyphicon glyphicon-chevron-right”]  # 3 TAKE A BREAK :

Studying is hard work, and, at some point, your brain will need a breather. Mark the halfway point of your study session and take a five- to 10-minute break. Do some stretches, walk up and down the stairs or take a quick walk outside .

 

 

[bs_icon name=”glyphicon glyphicon-chevron-right”]  # 4 MIX IT UP :

It’s easy to go through your study materials in the same order every time, but this can leave you over-familiar with materials at the beginning and under-familiar with materials at the end. Make sure to shuffle the order around every other day, and to explore different learning methods. There are so many ways to learn today; find the one (or blend) that’s right for you.

 

 

[bs_icon name=”glyphicon glyphicon-chevron-right”] #5 PICK YOUR TOPICS :

There’s no way you’ll review all your study materials every night. So spend more time with material you’re less confident on and less time on material you know well. This will help you build confidence and avoid stress.

 

 

[bs_icon name=”glyphicon glyphicon-chevron-right”] #6 FIND PRACTICE TESTS :

One of the most intimidating aspects of testing is not knowing what the actual test will look like. But you’re in luck! For the CompTIA A+ certification exam, you can study using practice exams that are similar to the actual exam.

 

 

[bs_icon name=”glyphicon glyphicon-chevron-right”] #7 USE TEST PREP MATERIALS :

Self-styled studying materials are always a great choice, but don’t be afraid to seek out specific test prep tools. CompTIA can provide you with study guides and materials, including CertMaster, to help you make the most of your study sessions.

 

 

Follow these seven study tips and you’ll be well on your way to a successful certification exam.

Good luck and happy studying!
