CompTIA CTT+ Essentials

CTT+ Essentials: Computer-Based Exam

Candidates should have some degree of familiarity with the subject matter of each question on the computer-based test. Each question is scored separately, and only correct responses contribute to a candidate’s final score. Candidates should choose the best answer for each question.

Final scores on the CompTIA CTT+ Essentials exam are determined by converting the number of questions answered correctly to a scale that ranges from 100 to 900. The minimum passing score of 655, which corresponds to the minimum level of achievement that represents mastery, was decided by a panel of judges.

Performance Based Exam

The final score on the CompTIA CTT+ Performance based Exam (skills examination) is computed by totaling the final objective ratings. Each of the 12 skills areas will be rated. The ratings for each skill will be given on a four-point scale, in which a 1 indicates seriously deficient performance and a 4 indicates outstanding performance.

Samples:

During a group discussion, a learner asks how the content being discussed would apply to a situation in the learner’s workplace. Which of the following is the BEST solution for the instructor to handle the situation?

  1. Tell the learner how the content applies to a more generic situation.
  2. Ask the learner how the content might apply in the workplace.
  3. Ask the class members to discuss how the content applies in their situation.
  4. Gather more information on the situation and then provide a response.

For this question, decide whether the action makes it likely or unlikely that the trainer will achieve the goal. Select the best statement of the reason that the action is likely or unlikely to accomplish the goal.

GOAL: To reinforce the key points of a large group discussion that just took place.
ACTION: Ask one or more of the learners to summarize the discussion.

  1. LIKELY, because the learners are actively involved in the summary.
  2. LIKELY, because the instructor will not add bias to the summary.
  3. UNLIKELY, because the learners may emphasize minor points in their summary.
  4. UNLIKELY, because the instructor loses control of the key points to be included.
