Today, we are talking about topics and questions that come directly from the Core Two of the A+ exam series.
You have to pass the two twenty twelve oh one exam, and then you also have to pass the two twenty twelve oh two exam.
Both of these exams were released on March the twenty-fifth of twenty twenty-five, which means that we estimate that these exams will be retired somewhere around September of twenty twenty-eight.
Well, that's, that is plenty of time to study as we sit here in July of twenty twenty-six.
All of your study materials you see here are exactly what you should be studying.
And make sure that everything that you have, that's maybe if you have a book or labs that you're working on, make sure they are also marked as the two twenty twelve zero two.
It's on a scale between one hundred and nine hundred, and to pass the twelve oh two exam, you need to earn a seven hundred.
So you've got a, a few things to learn or, or think about, certainly a lot of exam objectives to learn to be able to get that particular value.
That seven hundred score, that's what you're looking for to get a passing grade on that exam.
Once you pass the exam None of this information about release dates or retirement dates or anything else applies to you.
Once you're certified, you are certified, and it really doesn't matter what they do to the exams after that, and you're certified for three years.
You can, of course, renew that and get another three years, and renew it again and get another three years and so on, and that's usually what people will do.
You only take the exams one time, and then you can simply renew them to maintain that certification through the years.
The topics we will discuss today will be operating systems, security, software troubleshooting, and operational procedures.
Hopefully, we have a question that covers each one of those domains that we'll go through today.
