Question Linux Certification


Hello, I am hoping to obtain a copy of the actual Linux + certification test. I currently use Linux on a daily basis but from what I understand, the exam asks questions that most daily users might not even be able to answer. Reaching out to this IT community in hopes that someone has a copy of it and can email it to me. Thank you in advance!

There is no "copy". The test is 1 of 5 different tests (for each test, Linux+ is a 2 test certification), that each share some questions and have some different. There is a total of I think 250 questions between the 5 tests, each test being 60 questions. You are not allowed to keep a copy, and the way places like CompTIA get them is by sending people in to take them who have good memories and they actually rebuild the tests from there. If you really want to get a copy, sign up to take the CompTIA Linux+ course, vendor practice exams (which are basically the various Linux+ LPI tests) are included with it.

You could try finding someone who is taking the course also and have them share it with you, but it's against the agreement you sign when registering with CompTIA, so noone who needs to take further CompTIA courses would share it.

Alternatively, you could just buy the CompTIA Linux+ study guide that provides almost all the same things...

source - took the Linux+ recently, friend is a CompTIA instructor, and took the CompTIA Linux+ course.

By cheating the test you are only cheating yourself. Why memorize a few brain dumps when you can memorize the material? This isn't Microsoft...
