Why is the Comptia A+ program making me take an exam

i think its the practice test but its to an external site and its a full on comptia exam i think

Yup, that’s a Practice Test. For A+ there are two of them, and we strongly recommend using them after you’ve completed all of the Courses in the Learn section.

why did it force me??? it said i couldnt proceed untill i did!

Do you have a screenshot?

When you posted earlier, before enrolling in the A+ Cert Prep Path, you had individually enrolled in the Practice Test at some point, and then subsequently opened it several times from the Dashboard / Continue Learning widget.

In order to complete the Practice Test activity, you needed to link out and actually take the Practice Test - so yes, to receive credit for that standalone Practice Test activity, you would be forced to complete the Practice Test.

But at this point, you’re properly enrolled in the A+ Cert Prep Path, and you should complete the nine courses in order. You shouldn’t encounter the Practice Test again unless you deliberately open it.

ohh so i accidentally clicked practice test
ok thanks very much!
