Hey guys it's Ace Networker and today on this Fast Track Friday video we're going to talk about
the CompTIA Network+ N10-007 test exam and how in this big coronavirus thing
we can actually in some locations around the planet you can actually take it
from home as long as you have the right setup so let's get into that...
So guys I want to talk a little bit about how the certification test normally works. If you haven't
taken a certification test I'm going to kind of go over some of that and just give you some of
the basics on that and then we're going to get into I'm going to create a link below this video
that will take you directly to the site where you can get more information and questions answered
on how to possibly take your CompTIA Network+ certification from home. Now you have to have
the right setup and I'm going to go over that in just a second but the easiest thing for you to do
is to understand how these certification testing centers normally work in most of the civilized
countries around the world where CompTIA offers this type of certification testing. You will go
in and usually have to have some sort of photo ID or identification of some sort.
After you have registered on the CompTIA website and schedule to take your test you will go in
you will show a photo ID and usually some other form of identification in most cases and then
they will give you your your testing materials and they'll ask that you take off your what any
watches anything out of your pockets. They will provide you a personal locker with your own lock
to access it in your own key to get into it. After you get done with your test
usually what they'll give you is just a permanent marker or a thin permanent marker or a pen.
In some cases a pencil but I haven't seen pencils used very often because the fact that
it can be erased and they'll give you a piece of paper to go along with that it's usually
yellow in most cases it may may not be yellow but maybe laminated and it's going to be permanent
marker or permanent pin so that they can you'll turn that back in when you're done with your test
and this is for your own note taking and I highly recommend that you utilize that to take your
subnetting shortcuts and cheats (if you call them that( and memorize those and get those down
on that piece of paper in a small fashion as you can so that you're allowed to take other notes for
other questions on the tests that you might need to take for yourself. Now once they give you this
information if you've taken all the stuff out of your pockets all personal belongings no electronic
devices are allowed in there you're you're probably going to be on camera in most cases
they're going to have you on camera and that's just to kind of cover them as well as you and most
testing centers are this way. Most certification exam testing centers are this way. Cisco is this
way. Microsoft has been that way with their certifications for what they still offer and
all of them are going to be exactly the same. So Network+ is no different.
It's going to have these qualifications for you to do that. Now with that being said with the
coronavirus going around and everybody being quarantined around the planet and us having to
deal with this pandemic some things have changed. Now CompTIA is now offering in a lot of different
locations. They are offering that you still pay for the certification exam and if you have the
correct setup at home (in other words if you have the right download/upload speed on your internet,
you have no interruptions and you have a camera a live camera that can be used to watch you while
you're taking the test and if I'm not mistaken it probably has to be set up at a certain angle so
that they can make sure that you're not using any cheating materials). This is just to keep
the test legit so it is offered for you to take it at home and I provide a link below with some
more FAQs for you to answer some of the questions for you. But in the meantime I just wanted to give
you a heads up on the CompTIA Network+ N10-007 exam test and kind of how that works. And you
may be in there you'll usually have a cubicle if you actually take the test at a testing center
(as normal up until coronavirus hit) you would have a you may be in there with other other people
taking other tests that they offer in that testing center but you'll have little dividers around you
so that nobody can really kind of look at each other or disturb each other and they'll try to
space you apart as much as they can. Now if they have a bunch of people scheduled all at one time
which they try not to do but if they do and they can't avoid that they will try to space you apart
so you'll still be as distant from each other in that testing center as possible. So I just
want to give you an idea of how that works. If you've never taken one don't be alarmed whenever
you go in there and they ask for all your personal belongings to be put in a locker and you know the
whole thing. I apologize for not having a video up here recently. We've all been dealing with this
pandemic and we're all trying to adjust to the new way of life and the new way of doing things but
stay tuned because we're going to have I'm going to have a lot more videos for you coming

that being said from the Great State of Texas, I'm Ace Networker and I'll see you in the next video!
