I passed HealthIT early this year and wrote a good bit of advice. It is based around the Joy Dark book. Sorry if this reprints as a wall of text. I am pasting from a message. I would add that the CompTIA test is not really that meaningful professionally. Instead you should aim to do the CAHIMS cert here:
http://www.himss.org/health-it-certification/cahims
As for the CompTIA Health IT exam (HIT-001), I used:
ISBN-13: 978-0789749291
CompTIA Healthcare IT Technician HIT-001 Cert Guide
by Joy Dark, published by Pearson Certification.
http://www.amazon.com/CompTIA-Healthcare-Technician-HIT-001-Guide/dp/0789749297
It is around 380 pages of prose (the rest is glossary and index,) and is a solid solution for tying together the core sets of knowledge that are on the HIT-001 exam. It has an added benefit of being well written and organized. Unfortunately it is often a bit too sparse when it should focus and elaborate on a topic. A more complete edition could easily add 200 pages. The book also contained a CD that has a few study tools on it, including a printable "cheat sheet" study guide.
The book includes a coupon for the digital version with an addition set of practice questions as well. I paid for and studied those questions and did learn a little bit more from them, but the majority of them were not helpful so I can't give a blanket recommendation for paying for the additional content. However, at the time it was quite inexpensive, I think I paid $10 after the coupon.
CompTIA suggests the A+ as a pre-requisite for the HIT-001, and this book does not cover the content from the A+ in enough detail to stand alone. You should get an A+ study guide as well if you are not confident in that matterial. If you have taken security+ and networking+ you will also benefit, but this book and the accompanying practice questions are enough to get you a pass for the content from those higher level IT exams.
The best way to use this book is as a tie in for all of the different content areas that form the HIT-001. It won't give you mastery of any of them, but it will give you an excellent idea of how the test will approach them AND to what degree you should prepare for all of the content areas. If you wish to guarantee success, then you should also expect to do a bit of extra reading. This guide is to give you a pretty good idea of just how much you need do.
Having taken the test, I suggest the following:
1 First thing you should do is be comfortable with the A+ content, particularly A+ level of networking, security, and hardware/system setup content. If you are at the level of STRATA, the book may be enough to pull you up, but you will certainly miss questions on the test.
2 Go to Wikipedia, print the articles "HIPAA", "HL7", "HITECH act", "OSI Model" These four topics (especially the first two) represent several questions on the exam, and are not discussed at length in the book. Reading the Wiki's will help cement the information.
3 Start reading this book. ANY term/acronym you do not understand must be memorized. Pay special attention to the first 2 chapters and the last chapter, this is the truly unique part of the HIT-001 exam, and features heavily in the exam. Look through questions at the end of chapters and answer them for extra practice (some are useful, some not.)
4 Go back through the book, and focus on anything contained in a chart, you will likely have questions on them. particularly things such as HL7 meta tags, OSI levels, and the departments of a hospital (and their corresponding IS.)
5 Become comfortable with HIPAA, understand the role of each article, with special emphasis on article 2, and the practicalities of becoming HIPAA compliant, from a technical perspective in a hospital and inter-business setting. Become comfortable identifying what is and isn't a HIPAA violation between hospital employees and businesses, and the role of the IT tech in preventing and responding to violations. Use youtube and google to review a few employee level presentations on the topic, but be careful, many of these have vague and even incorrect points, and are insufficient over all, but, some quesitons on the test were practical or ethical in nature, and empoyee presentations are good for getting an idea of HIPAA case studies.
6 Use the software to study the practice questions until you know them all. This is actually a considerable amount of additional content, and should not be skipped.
7 Go take and pass your test!
In retrospect, I do not think the exam was especially difficult or tricky. It mainly wants to know that you, as an IT technician, have the correct concepts in your head to not make critical errors. This includes not only some technical knowledge, but also an idea of the anatomy of hospitals as business environments and how they use IT to serve their needs.
I would recommend either Exam Cram 6th ed. by David L. Prowse or Mike Meyer's A+ passport. There are bigger books (1200+ pages), but I don't think they're necessary if you've already assembled machines and installed various operating systems. You can probably do fine with one of these concise guides. If you really want to browse the various books and determine which you like the best, then you can do that by signing up for a 10-day free trial with SafariBooks. This will give you full access to 10 different books for 10 days...enough time to determine your favorite. Just remember to cancel before the trial ends or they might bill you.
Professor Messer is a good source of videos. CBT Nuggets is also good, but kind of pricey. You might try their 7-day trial and see if you like it. CBT Nuggets is about 35hours of video and Prof. Messer is 20.
I started with a pretty extensive background in hardware/software troubleshooting but studying really helped everything come together. I learned the most from the Printers chapter/videos. I had never taken a Comptia exam before and was a little unsure of how detailed the questions would be, so this made me study a little harder. I studied for each exam separately. About 2 weeks preparing for the 801 and 10 days or so for the 802. The 802 was a little more challenging.
Good luck!
Lynda (also called LinkedIn Learning) has relevant courses, and many public libraries' websites have a link to access Lynda (included with your use of a library card)
-------------------
To memorize port numbers, see these rhyming lines by bestdonut and/or my non-rhyming mnemonics. Each CompTIA exam has a different set of port numbers to know; see the exam objectives for which port numbers are needed for your particular exam.
----------------------
Those studying for Network+ might find helpful my post to teach the basics of subnetting or my method to memorize 568B/568A wiring.
-------------------
For Security+ (SY0-501), many redditors liked the Darril Gibson "Get Certified Get Ahead" book
I also suggest using flashcards on Quizlet; search there for flashcard decks for "SY0-501" and/or "Darril Gibson".
-------------------
From my previous exam experiences: It's wise to skip the simulation questions near the beginning, go through all the multiple-choice questions at a good speed (marking those you're unsure about), and then go back to do the simulation questions, and then (as time allows) review any questions that you had marked.
This avoids you using up too much time doing the simulation questions, which would not leave enough time for doing the multiple-choice questions. Also, the multiple-choice questions and their answers might remind you of some things which will help you solve the simulation questions.
---------------
At the PearsonVue testing center where I've taken some CompTIA exams, I was given a dry-erase board (about 8 inches x 10 inches) and a marker and an eraser. It occurred to me once that if I wanted to quickly write some key things on it at the start, I could do so after the testing coordinator left the room and while I was going through an initial screen where I was shown the CompTIA confidentiality agreement, and should read it, and must agree to it. That is a period of time before the exam clock starts. However, different testing centers might have different rules which you might need to agree to before entering the room - writing on that board before your exam clock starts might be prohibited.
I just passed my Net+ about a month ago studying in a similar time frame. Professor Messer on Youtube is a great free video resource, I also found the CBT nuggets course helpful.
Exam Cram is the only book you need, and it's easily the best study guide I've used for any Comptia Test:
http://www.amazon.com/CompTIA-Network-N10-006-Exam-Cram/dp/078975410X/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1450887907&sr=8-1&keywords=exam+cram+network+%2B
Just scored 827 on the 220-801 exam. I'm using this text though I hear great things about the Meyers book. Watch these videos and puchase his study guides they're excellent value. Read a chapter then watch the appropriate video, a few a week is a great pace. Then once you get through and are somewhat confident in answering the questions in the book, book your exam and have a week where you really blitz the material (around 3 chapters a day). Practice exams would be bonus, I used the ones that came with this but that was a loaner from a friend.
I am currently reading the [CompTIA A+ Complete Deluxe Study Guide] (http://www.amazon.co.uk/CompTIA-Complete-Deluxe-Study-Guide/dp/1119137934/ref=pd_cp_14_2?ie=UTF8&refRID=0HV752EMYP82DNXV92P7)
 
Pros:
 
 
Cons:
 
 
Overall, I think it's a good book. I extras you get from the Deluxe package are great. I would still suggest watching some professor messer videos and maybe evening writing up your own personal study guide for subjects that challenge you.
yes very helpful; much thanks. I see amazon has a complete certification kit for both the 901 and 902 that comes with study and review guides for only $40. if i decided to go for the 900 series cert would this be my best option?
here is link to the product: https://www.amazon.com/CompTIA-Complete-Certification-Kit-220-901/dp/1119139740/ref=dp_rm_img_0
What tools are you currently using? What method of learning do you prefer? What level of understanding do you have in relation to computer basics? Have you tried the search feature in this sub?
The top 3 resources for A+, N+ and S+ would likely be: Mike Meyers book, Messer videos, and examcompass. Meyers book is for those who prefer to read, Messer videos are for those who are visual learners, and examcompass is for those who like to 'do'.
Honestly, a single sentence asking for help with no background information leaves a lot to be desired. If you study how you post, maybe try putting a little more work in? I'm not trying to be mean, I'm being honest. While these certs cover IT basics that doesn't mean they are 'simple'.
I took a three week course through the Army studied this book https://www.amazon.com/CompTIA-Advanced-Security-Practitioner-Study/dp/1118930843 and used a dump to do some practice questions. It is mainly IT security management, but is still very technical in nature. Look up the test objectives that CompTIA has for the exam and make sure you understand then. STUDY STUDY STUDY. I prepared for two weeks before the three week course and still did not feel comfortable going through the exam. Not trying to scare you I'm just relaying my own personal experience. Good luck to you!
You should remember a three-word strategy to studying for and passing the Network+: Divide and conquer.
You need to be smart about what you put effort into understanding and memorizing. Look at the Exam Objectives. If you scroll all the way to the bottom of the Exam Objectives, you'll see there is a list of hundreds of terms and acronyms. I would not encourage anyone to try and memorize every single acronym on that list. Instead, you should focus on WHATEVER is an OBJECTIVE. Here is a list of SOME of the things I would encourage you to memorize.
Look up everything I've listed above (and a lot of other things I missed out too that are listed on the Exam Objectives) and learn about them through different means (books, videos, podcasts, apps, etc)
Don't just memorize something. Understand it. Understanding it will help you memorize it.
You should have a plan on how you plan on studying. Don't just study aimlessly. The Network+ exam is a marathon. People don't just get up one day and run a marathon. They train for it. The finish line is passing the exam, the race track is the Exam Objectives. Not everyone can successfully finish a marathon. You need to train (study) and condition (practice) yourself to be prepared to run and finish that race.
Remember to take it one day at a time. You should pay for and schedule the exam so that you have a set date for the exam which will incentive you to study instead of procrastinating. Take it one day at a time BUT HAVE A PLAN. DIVIDE AND CONQUER. BREAK THINGS UP INTO SMALLER MANAGEABLE CHUNKS. MAKE LISTS. BEFORE YOU ATTEMPT MEMORIZING SOMETHING, CHECK THE EXAM OBJECTIVES TO SEE IF IT IS WORTH YOUR TIME AND EFFORT TO MEMORIZE SAID THING.
Some tools to help you study:
I would recommend not relying on any single source of information. I used the following:
No single resource would have prepared me for the test. All of them cumulatively helped me pass. Professor Messer videos are a great primary resource, with something like the Exam Cram book being a decent secondary (because of the included test software).
Congrats! I used the book I’m attaching below. Read the 1002 portion in its entirety. I failed the first time, but after reading this, my score went up by about 150 points and I passed! It covers all the material I saw on the test really well. The only thing the test throws at you that are kinda curveballs are the “BEST” questions. You really just have to stop and NOT overthink it. Read through every option and pick your first gut instinct. Don’t change your answer after that. Good luck!!!

I was recommended this book and I've only had a quick skim through it as I am trying to get more employibility through other avenues and then start studying for it. But it seems well laid out and easy to read. It also has a lot of great reviews
congrats man! i completed mine yesterday morning! 773 =) i had a study guide from a friend's tutor, as well as boatloads of practice test questions and answer keys, for multiple choice and labs. i had a lot of free time so i spent about 6-8hrs each day studying for about 2 months.
i also bought the Exam Cram study book, used in conjunction with the exam objectives, i made flash cards on everything listed in the objectives.
if anyone is super interested, i can link the flash cards i made and used, but some areas are skipped over, either because i couldn't find mention of them in the book (and weren't mentioned on the exam anyways) or they were things i already had known before, such as cabling characteristics

Part of it would be IF the employer or HR person is aware of the cert. However, just by looking at the objectives, 47% of the test is IT Hardware/Software and Security. Most likley stuff that you would already know if you took the A+/Net+/Sec+. There are two subsections of the IT Hardware (3.2 and 3.10) that deals with EHR/EMR technologies, something I do not recall being covered in A+/Net+.
The rest of the objectives covers things that are most specialized in the healthcare field. Policies, Procedures, and Regulations. It also covers things like how a Hospital may be organized and some medical terminology that some laypeople may not know. Here are a few review questions I pulled from the CompTIA Healthcare IT Technicatin HIT-001 Authorized Cert Guide
>Which branch of the HHS controls the electronic standards of transaction for an insurance claim? And what is the current standard?
>Which HHS division is responsible for enforcing HIPAA rules?
>What does the HIPAA Enforcement Rule determine?
>What are possible breaches of e-PHI?
>Why are SLAs important and what do they establish?
And here are a few practicus exam questions from Healthcare Information Technology Exam Guide for CompTIA Healthcare IT Technician and HIT Pro Certifications
>You are an office manager at a long-term care facility that provides medical services for chronically ill patients. You are responsible for ensuring that patient history and physical examination information for your patients are dictated and transcribed in the appropriate time frame to meet The Joint Commission (TJC), formerly the Joint Commission on Accreditation of Healthcare Organizations (JCAHO), s standards. What is the appropriate time frame to meet the standard?
>A. 24 hours
>B. 7 days
>C. 14 days
>D. 30 days
>Which of the following is an American National Standards Institute (ANSI)–accredited Standards Developing Organization (SDO) operating in the healthcare arena that develops standards for clinical and administrative data?
>A. CCD
>B. HL7
>C. CCR
>D. CPT
So does it have weight? IDK, but when I applied for an IT Manager position at a small regional hospital last year I looked over the HIT-001 as kind of a starting point to get me going. If anything, having it on your resume/cover letter could help set you apart from the rest of the pool, and give you a leg up when it comes to knowing how some of the medical stuff works. I know FERPA regulations due to my current job, I do not know HIPAA regulations.

I am a bot, and this action was performed automatically. Please contact the moderators of this subreddit if you have any questions or concerns.
I mostly used TestOut-Labsim for a majority of it and even then mostly the practice tests. I have a very hard time paying attention when it comes to instructional videos and I have an easier time with studying texts. The text I read through was Exam Cram - CompTIA Security+ by KirkHausman (http://smile.amazon.com/CompTIA-Security-SY0-301-Authorized-Edition/dp/0789748290/). I used Microsoft OneNote for taking notes (this is my favorite application ever) and Cram.com for flash cards on my phone. I memorized 25 different protocols and their corresponding ports using the cards. About half (maybe more) I had already memorized for Net+, but those are just further concrete in my mind.
The problem with Security+ is there is a lot of studying and memorizing facts, where Net+ and A+ has a lot of "hands on" situations, like configuring devices. I think this is because a lot of the security principles have been around long before computers. Cryptography has been found in Egypt dating back to like 1900 BC!
I would highly suggest getting an exam prep book such as this or this
Pay attention to concepts, not just memorization but ask yourself in what situations would these concepts apply. For example...when they discuss Business Continuity, understand why one plan would be better used in certain situations than another.
Pay attention to ports and protocols, incident response techniques, attack types. Don't get caught up in the nitty gritty, but have a baseline understanding of the differences between certain items in the same category (phishing techniques, malicious codes, different attack/defense types) and why someone might use one item vs another.
Some of it will be straight memorization, but a lot more of it will be concepts. Concepts Concepts Concepts!
Good luck, I felt completely underpreped when I took my test, a lot of my test prep kicked my ass. Even as I was taking the test there were times when I sat back, stared at my screen and wondered what the hell I was doing with my life. Ended up with a score in the high 800's...so this test is beatable...just make sure you put in the book time beforehand.
Edit: Also, look around here and on some other forums, the info on how to do well is out there, just go find it!
I have enjoyed the Sybex series, https://smile.amazon.com/CompTIA-Complete-Study-Guide-220-1001/dp/1119515939/ref=sr_1_5?crid=39NGOO1J9JE1G&keywords=comptia+a%2B+1001&qid=1575104128&sprefix=comptia+a%2Caps%2C170&sr=8-5
But I dare say the majority I've seen on this sub forum seem to prefer the all in one series, and Mike Meyers did the one for the A+,
https://smile.amazon.com/CompTIA-Certification-Guide-220-1001-220-1002-ebook-dp-B07PPY7P1T/dp/B07PPY7P1T/ref=mt_kindle?_encoding=UTF8&me=&qid=
But thats just my opinion on books, take it with a huge grain of salt as I have not passed the A+.
This is the Gibson book he is talking about, very good and popular for the sec+ exam

CompTIA A+ Complete Deluxe Study Guide: Exams 220-901 and 220-902
3rd Edition, Hard Cover, $24
Quoted:
Includes interactive online learning environment and study tools with:
This is what I'm working with now and I just passed the 801.
Professor Messer Videos, free on Youtube
Professor Messer Study Guides, $10 each
Study Book, This book doesn't feel like a text book like some of the other study guides do.
I agree. I would look into virtual labs too.
I personally liked these:
https://www.cybrary.it/catalog/practice_labs/comptia-cybersecurity-analyst-csa
And the Sybex book and practice questions:
https://www.amazon.com/CompTIA-CySA-Study-Guide-CS0-001/dp/1119348978/
https://www.amazon.com/CompTIA-CySA-Practice-Tests-CS0-001/dp/1119433207/
Edit: CompTIA renamed Cybersecurity Analyst from CSA to CySA. So you will see a mix for a while.
Definitely get this. It's helping me a ton right now.
If you're getting 94% on your practice exam you're probably ready to go. Get a few more practice exams (you can buy books of practice exams on Amazon pretty cheaply) if you continue to get mid 90s you should be good to go.
Make sure you have your standard ports memorized. They came up a lot for me.
To pass my Security+ I watched the CBT Nuggets and read
this and [this] (http://www.amazon.com/Security-Certification-Official-published-McGraw-Hill/dp/B00E6TOT2Q/ref=sr_1_8?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1394728491&sr=1-8&keywords=security%2B+clarke) but I really had to learn a lot, I don't do much security work in my day to day. In the end I was way overprepared. I think I only missed one question.
I used this book to review last minute, it's very thorough.
I did not use flashcards, but listening to Professor Messer and cybrary.it videos really helped in my preparation as well.
https://www.amazon.com/CompTIA-Core-220-1001-220-1002-Exam/dp/0789760576/ref=mp_s_a_1_3?keywords=exam+cram+a%2B+220-1001&qid=1572485854&sprefix=exam+cram+&sr=8-3
This is the one. It includes 2 practice tests, one for each exam, in the book itself as well as a code to activate an account to take those same tests online with an additional bonus test for each exam (total of 4). All the questions have explanations for why the right answers are right and why the wrong answers are wrong, and that understanding is crucial to succeed on the exam.
Do you mean this?
It's actually in WGU's library for free. Just search for 'Comptia Project' and it'll be one of the first few results.
As for the test, I just recently took it and passed with a score in the mid 800s. The test was frustrating because the questions are worded as vaguely as possible to increase the difficulty. Know what the terms mean and its especially important to know the components of the different phases and plans.
For example, what components make up a scope statement and what phase is it created in. You won't see a question that specific on the test. Instead you'll generally see a vaguer version of something like this, 'You're afraid that work is being done in the project that wasn't part of the original plan. Where would you go to confirm this'.
Also, make sure you know the order of steps in processes, like schedule creation or a change request. Other than that, it's hard to say since each tests' questions are randomized, but I got a decent amount of questions on different types of risks and conflict resolution. Also can recall a few questions on the different chart types and cost/schedule variance calculations, but not that many.
Sybex Study Guide book and Practice test books!

I have this one on preorder, i read that the one for the 900 series helped a lot of people
For all 3 exams, I followed the same order of study materials. I would first read a book that covered the whole exam. Next, I would watch a video series about the exam(I would read a book and watch videos at the same time). I then would go through the exam objectives and look up anything else I didn't learn from the books or the video series. Lastly, I would some practice exams to practice test questions (look up any terms you don't know in any questions).
|Exam|Step 1: Read a Book|Step 2: Watch a video series|Step 3: Go over exam objectives|Step 4: Practice tests|

Stick with Prof M. He's big for a reason. You should have a book or two you've read already though. https://www.amazon.com/CompTIA-Complete-Certification-Kit-220-901/dp/1119139740/ref=sr_1_1_sspa?ie=UTF8&qid=1523973203&sr=8-1-spons&keywords=comptia+a%2B+certification&psc=1

Planning to get one, I'm starting to review for A+.I have no background on IT thought.
Great, thanks. I do a fair amount of project work already but between our limited capacity, my split responsibilities, and my lack of PM skills I feel like my wheels are always spinning and I'm not doing a great job.
I'm a big believer in offloading as much information as possible to systems designed to manage it, versus using our consistently poor memories and limited brain space, and I have no idea how to do that with projects. I'm hoping PM concepts and systems cater to this.
edit: are these the books you mentioned?

I did read the Myer's book (Specifically the All-in-One. He has others that are essentially the All-In-One book but with less crap.). I initially made the mistake of just trying to read it cover to cover, but there's too much material and it doesn't follow the order of the objectives, and that bothered me. To each their own ultimately.
I really must emphasize using the Objectives List as your guide. It even has a list of acronyms. Don't bother making a list from the textbook -- use the materials that CompTIA has already made available. There are also acronym and definition flashcards all over the internet. Just start looking around for study materials. You'll find piles of them.
