This book provides practice questions for the CompTIA Linux+ certification Exam XK0-005. The questions are multiple choice, and the difficulty levels vary. The balance of questions closely mirrors the exam objective weighting in emphasis of certain technologies.

Tests are administered by CompTIA's global testing partner, Pearson VUE. For more information on taking the exam, visit the CompTIA website at www.comptia.org. You can also visit Pearson VUE at www.pearsonvue.com.

This book is intended as a supplement to CompTIA Linux+ Study Guide Exam XK0-005, 5th Edition. Ideally, you already own that title and can use the practice questions in this book as you work through the objectives.

This book contains 1,000 questions related to technologies that have been identified by CompTIA as necessary for an individual to obtain Linux+ certification. If you have the requisite skills and experience, then you can attempt the questions within the book, looking up answers as needed. The book can also be used to identify areas where you may need to seek out additional experience and knowledge.

The online test bank at www.wiley.com/go/sybextestprep includes all the questions from the book. Take these practice exams just as if you were taking the actual exam (without any reference material). If you get more than 90 percent of the answers correct, you're ready to take the certification exams.

Like all exams, the Linux+ certification from CompTIA is updated periodically and may eventually be retired or replaced. At some point after CompTIA is no longer offering this exam, the old editions of our books and online tools will be retired. If you have purchased this book after the exam was retired, or are attempting to register in the Sybex online learning environment after the exam was retired, please know that we make no guarantees that this exam's online Sybex tools will be available once the exam is no longer available.
