Exam preparation for CompTIA Linux+ and LPIC-1 (Bits & Bytes Academy) review

An online question bank for CompTIA Linux+ and LPIC-1 with 2,800+ questions in 15 topics, at USD 84 for a year and USD 84 each year after that unless cancelled.

Worth it

A focused product with a clear scope and numbers you can check on the form: 2,800+ questions, 15 topics, USD 84 a year. It is a question bank, so it complements study rather than replacing a course, and no pass guarantee or refund terms are shown. The auto-renewal is stated on the form but easy to forget, and the page's mention of free training makes it worth testing what is free before paying.

What you get

Access to a web platform of practice questions. The form lists more than 2,800 questions, 15 topics, explanations, related links and a strength analysis that shows gaps. The sellers say the questions are similar to the real exams but without time pressure.

It is practice material, not video instruction. We have not used the platform and cannot say how well the questions match the current exam objectives.

Price and renewal

The cost is USD 84.00 today and USD 84.00 every year, cancellable on an annual basis. Note when you sign up so that you can cancel before the renewal if you only need it for one exam attempt.

The academy page we read describes some training as free and we could not verify what that includes. Check the site before paying for something you may already get free.

Refund and guarantees

No refund window or pass guarantee appears on the form or the part of the site we could read. Digistore24's return policy applies, so check it.
