1. Go to: www.2test.com
2. Search for the testing center in your area.
3. Follow online the online prompts to register online or by telephone.
4. Tell them where you would like to test and they will schedule an appointment for you.

How long does it take to complete a self-study course?

Each of our self-study courses are designed to be the equivalent of attending a 40 to 50 hour training seminar; some a little more and some are less. The CDIA+ self-study course is approximately 4 - 5 hours long but you must also consider extra time for review and writing notes.

What is the percentage I need to pass the exam?

You must score at least 77% to pass the exam.

What is the Certification Duration?

Once you are CompTIA-certified, you are certified for life.

If I fail the test, may I see my answers?

As an internationally recognized professional certification, the test must remain secure at all times. Thus, no test questions or answers are ever released. In order to maintain the high quality of the exam, no exceptions are made.

If I fail the test, will I have to pay to retake it?

Yes, each time you take a CompTIA exam you will need to pay.

What will I need in order to take the test?

Please arrive at the testing center at least 15 minutes before the test is scheduled to begin. The administrator of the testing center can demonstrate how to use the computer-based testing system before the actual test begins. Two forms of identification must be presented to the test center administrator. One form should be a photo ID, such as a valid driver's license. The other can be a major credit card, or a passport. Please be aware that both forms of identification must have a signature. Books, calculators, laptop computers, or other reference materials are not allowed during the test. Because the test is computer-based, pens, pencils, or paper will not be needed. It is CompTIA's policy to make reasonable accommodations for individuals with disabilities.

When do I receive my certificate and ID?

Under normal circumstances you should receive your certificate and ID in 4-6 weeks.

Who can take the test?

Certification is open to anyone who wants to take the tests. No specific requirements are necessary, except payment of the fee.

Test Format

The certification test is administered on a computer at a Prometric or VUE authorized testing center, in an easy-to-use format. The format of the test looks very much like other multiple-choice examinations you have taken before. The difference is, this examination is taken on a desktop computer connected into a testing network, where all the data is stored centrally and securely. Directions for using the testing software are displayed on the screen. A tutorial is provided as well as the assistance of a nearby proctor. On-screen "help" is also available, including information at the bottom of the screen that lets you know how to enter your answer, move forward in the test, mark a question for answering later, or review a previous question. Of course, the software tells you how to enter the answer, not what answer to enter.

Usually each question has one correct response. However, there are some that have multiple correct responses. When there are multiple correct answers, a message at the bottom of the screen prompts you to "choose all that apply." Be sure to read the messages.

After the Test

As soon as you finish the test, you receive the final score. You will see the results immediately on the computer screen. In addition, a hard copy of the score report is provided at the testing center.

The score report shows whether or not you passed the certification. You can also see how you did on each section of the test and on each technology. Please retain this score report as it contains your unique ID number, which is also your certification number. It can be used to verify your certification until your certificate arrives.

If you pass the examination, a certificate will be mailed to you within a few weeks. Should you not receive your certificate and information packet within 5 weeks of passing your exam, please contact CompTIA at 630-268-1818 and ask for the fulfillment department.
