Only %1 left

The CompTIA SK0-005 Server+ practice test trains you in working with servers in data centers or cloud environments.

Why should I take the CompTIA Server+ exam?

The CompTIA Server+ is a vendor-neutral certification that offers you the perfect opportunity to launch a career working with servers in data centers or cloud environments. To obtain CompTIA’s Server+ certification, you must pass the SK0-005 Server+ exam. Specifically, Server+ will validate your ability to install, manage, and troubleshoot servers in data centers and on-premises and hybrid environments. Server+ is the only certification directed at multiple vendors, which means it enables holders of the certification to operate in any given environment. It is recommended to have two years of hands-on experience working in a server environment, as well as be certified in CompTIA A+ or have equivalent knowledge.

The CompTIA SK0-005 Server+ practice test includes two different modes: certification and practice mode. Certification mode allows you to assess your knowledge and discover your weak areas, with practice mode allowing you to focus on the areas that need development.
