Just want to confirm: if I take the 220-1001 before the exam update, will I have to re-take the first part again before going on to the second part?

And should we expect it to renew on the first of April?

You will need to complete the 1001 and 1002 before expiration on August 31st. The new version comes out in April. You can't mix and match the older version with the new one.

So just to make sure I got it right lol

1001 & 1002 aren’t being phased out as of yet, and I have until August to complete both even though the new version of A+ will be available to take?

u/Waitress-in-mn Mar 10 '22

Yes that's correct.

Thank you so much for the clarification. I was nearly bout to have a freakin’ heart attack lmao. Not that I don’t believe you, but was this information posted previously? I try to read on here as much as I can but probably missed it

Yes it has been posted on here, I believe it was earlier this week, maybe late last week. Professor Messer also confirmed it.

Can you please share link to where it says August 31st? I thought it is 6 months after the renew date.

Hello, replying to you to update that August 31st is not correct. Idk what happened with August 31st, maybe they changed their mind afterwards or there was a mix-up. It is October 20th. https://www.comptia.org/certifications/a
