I have taken 4 tests to obtain my 3 Comptia Certifications, A+, Security+, and Net+ (twice). 3 of them were done through a testing center through my school and 1 was online through PearsonVue. My experience with PearsonVue testing was good, I elected to take it at 9pm at home and it only took me about 10-15 mins for the queue and pretest setup. For my A+ and Sec+, I used college class material to study and what they provided to the teachers cover 90% of the questions that i got on my tests. For my second Net+ exam, I studied using the CertMaster Questions and Study Guide Bundle that I bought off the website and it helped as it increased my score from my first attempt of 632 to my passing of 785. The questions on the Net+ were essentially the same as what i studied, just slightly worded differently and the PBQs were easy. Only issue I have with the tests is that A) they included questions that dont count towards your score but they dont identify them so you could waste essential time on questions that dont matter what you put and B) They dont tell you what questions you missed, just the topic, like you dont have to share the correct answer but I would have like to see just the exact question so I can figure out if i missed the 50/50 questions.

Update: Pearsonvue customer service called and rescheduled my exam and apologized for i had to wait more than 2 hours in the check in stage, moreover they provided a goodwell coupon toward any exam i wish to take in a year, i also discovered that i could have 90 days grace period to pay the annual fees and submit any courses i have taken during the period my certification was active, thanks God what a bless, i definitely had a very hard time scheduled 3 times and finally failed but i guess my efforts had finally paid, God is good, thank you comptia. My initial post below Horrible experience, because of technical issue on the onvue site and camera issue i had to reschedule 3 times, in one of these times i stayed more than 2 hours in the queue IMAGINE and you get NO REFUND for cancellation they send you between comptia and pearsonvue.. the servers + exam was nothing like the material on comptia or youtube and extremely difficult, very few questions were similar, the customer service tools and software used for assistance are very poor looking at yhe amount of money paid for the exam,moreover the experience you get at work is 100 time valuable and logic than the exam...i would suggest taking the udemy course but don t waste your money on the exam....hope that helped
