Study Log

Date Activity Notes
2026-06-11 Started Core 2 study, 9:15 PM Took Sybex diagnostic practice exam — scored 50% (50/100)
2026-06-17 LAB 5 theory (Malware types & removal procedure), LAB 6 theory (BitLocker, UAC, Firewall, EFS) 1hr 8min session, 9:57–11:06 PM CDT. Checkpoint answers all correct. Hands-on LAB 5 & 6 scheduled Friday. SEC-6 quiz scheduled for June 18.
2026-06-18 SEC-6 quiz + OS-1/OS-2 quizzes scheduled Hands-on LAB 5 & 6 scheduled for this Friday.
2026-06-19 OS-1/OS-2 quiz (Windows Editions, Install & Boot, Troubleshooting) — taken cold, before studying 10/12 correct + Scenario A. Part 1 (Windows Editions): 6/7 — missed Q1 (Home can't join domain, Pro is minimum). Part 2 (Install & Boot): 5/5 perfect. Part 3 (Troubleshooting): 1/2 — missed Scenario B ("OS Not Found" = bootrec /rebuildbcd, not chkdsk).

Planned Tests

  • This week (started 2026-06-11): Professor Messer practice exam (diagnostic — taken cold first)
  • Next week: CompTIA CertMaster practice test

Study Plan (17 days)

  • Days 1–4: Operating Systems domain
  • Days 5–8: Security domain
  • Days 9–11: Software Troubleshooting
  • Days 12–13: Operational Procedures
  • Days 14–15: Full timed practice exams
  • Day 16: Weak area review only
  • Day 17 (June 28): Exam

Key Weak Areas to Watch

  • bootrec vs chkdsk: "OS Not Found" = boot sector problem → bootrec /rebuildbcd (or /fixmbr, /fixboot). chkdsk is for file system corruption, not missing bootloader.
  • Windows edition domain join: Home cannot join AD domain or use Group Policy. Pro is minimum. Memorize: Home = no domain, no GPO, no BitLocker, no RDP host.
  • Windows 11 upgrade requirements: TPM 2.0 + Secure Boot (UEFI required, not legacy BIOS).
  • Malware types and removal procedures (pure memorization)
  • Windows command line tools generally (sfc, DISM, chkdsk, bootrec, diskpart)

Resources

  • Professor Messer A+ Core 2 (YouTube + paid practice exams)
  • CompTIA CertMaster (next week)
  • Jason Dion practice exams (Udemy backup)
  • r/CompTIA, Professor Messer Discord for group study
