Why Dion Designs Harder Practice Exams
Dion's instructional philosophy is "train above the level you'll perform at." His practice exams use more nuanced wording, more "best answer" (not just "correct answer") questions, and longer scenario stems than the actual CompTIA exam pool. The result: candidates who consistently pass Dion exams find the real test feels easier and shorter.

How to Use Dion Scores to Decide When to Test
Take Practice Exam 1 cold (no studying) to establish your baseline. Don't panic if it's 50%—that's normal. Study and re-test on Exam 2 after 1-2 weeks of focused review on weak domains. Aim for incremental gains (target +5-10 points per exam). Use fresh practice questions to find weak topics; no practice percentage proves that you will pass the certification exam. Use the results to plan the next review session and reassess weak topics before booking.
