For the comptia certifications, is a pass good enough?

What way does it work? do you pass and thats it or is there like A,B,C,D?

Can I barely scrape a pass and be no different from the guy who got 100%?
 
No, it is based on a point system. Each question is worth a set amount of points, and at the end of the test if you get a score above passing points wise you pass. Most certs require 80% to pass though if you want to look at it from a percentage stand point.
 
Thanks again.

I got a comptia A+ book and a Linux+ book. Will study for a year or two and when i can, i will take it, I challenge myself to get 90%.
 
Well, I would just read the books and then take practice tests that is the best way to learn and how I passed all my certs.

Good luck.
 
A PASS IS A PASS, it won't show what percent you got on your certificate. I'm currently about to sit my A+ and Network+ exams.

I think the pass rate you need is APROX 78% for A+ and Network+.

Good luck and I suggest the Mike Meyers passport books.
 
The passing grade you need for the A+ Essentials test is a 675 out of 1000 and for the rest of the three A+ tests you need a 700 out of 900.
 
Does it mean anything? Like, if you go to a small employer and he looks at it and there is 1 previous job working at a supermarket and you have every CompTIA cert, will he employ you?
 
Certifications are 50/50. Some jobs will want to require them, but a lot of times that is the HR department not the IT manager. They mostly are interested in your experience. However, when we talk entry level, they don't always care too much about experience they want someone who is just a good worker.
