As you can see in the figure below, exam screen is where the user is presented with a question to answer. Each question will have question ID (this is unique for every exam), flash card explanation, timer (you can pause it in Learn Mode), and night mode. You can also take the exam in full screen for better concentration while taking the exam.
This type of question challenges the user to match the image with respective description. For example, identifying various types of connectors available on computer motherboard.
This type of question is similar to image drag n drop, but uses text to match. A sample question is shown in the figure. The user needs to drag the left side box on to the correct box on the right side.
The review screen provides an overview of all the questions that have been answered or not. Candidates can directly go to the un-answered questin and answer it using Review Screen. Note that if the time is over for the exam, the exam is terminated and the results are saved.
After completing the exam or after the time is over for completion of the exam, the score card is displayed. The category wise scoring is reported in the exam score sheet.
The lab sim contains several labs for hands on practice ensuring thorough preparation before appearing for the Network+ exam. Several labs on networking fundamentals, DNS, DHCP, and network troubleshooting have been provided. Other practice tests available from Comptia stream are A+ Core 1, A+ Core 2, Security+ and Server+.
