Tip: Begin with 20–25 question domain drills for weak areas, then move to mixed mocks. Aim for consistent ~75–80% before test day.

Suggested progression

  1. Domain drills (daily): 2× 20–25 question sets focused on a single Core 1 domain (Hardware, Mobile, Networking, Virtualization/Cloud, Troubleshooting).
  2. Mixed sets (alternate days): 1× 30–40 questions combining 2–3 domains to build transfer.
  3. Full mock (final week): 2–3 complete exams that mirror live-exam tone/coverage. Review every miss and tag weak objectives.

Timeboxing

  • Domain set: ~30–40 minutes
  • Mixed set: ~55–65 minutes
  • Full mock: ~90 minutes (leave a buffer to revisit flagged items and PBQs)

Scoring & review

  • Mark + return: Flag uncertain items, then review after you finish the set.
  • Pattern log: Track recurring miss-themes (e.g., ports/protocols, Cat6 vs Cat6a, LC vs SC, 802.11ac vs 802.11ax, RAID 0/1/5/10, laser printing steps).
  • Turn misses into notes: Convert each theme into 1–2 “rules of thumb,” then re-drill that domain the next day.

Fast remediations (common weak spots)

  • No network / APIPA: Verify DHCP scope/reachability, gateway/DNS, then cabling/switch.
  • Wi-Fi performance: Move to 5/6 GHz, check channel width/interference, disable WPS.
  • Display issues: Reseat cable/GPU, try alternate port, update driver, check power/brightness.
  • Printer defects:
    • Streaks/lines → drum/toner/fuser cleaning or replacement
    • Ghosting → fuser/drum not discharging
    • Jams → rollers/path; proper media & humidity
  • Storage: SMART warnings → back up + replace; understand RAID trade-offs.

What to pair with practice

  • Syllabus: Objective-by-domain outline → view
  • Cheatsheet: High-yield tables & quick pickers → open
  • Overview: Format, timing, and compact plan → read

Tips for exam-style pacing

  • First pass fast: ~60–70 seconds per item; skip PBQs early and return later.
  • Eliminate aggressively: Toss options that break safety, least-intrusive troubleshooting, or basic networking logic.
  • Think intent: If the stem stresses safety, data preservation, or user impact, pick the option that is safer and reversible.
