| Area | What to remember |
|---|---|
| Version changes | CompTIA version codes matter. Do not mix older SY, N, CV, DA, DS, DY, CS, PT, CY, or CAS study material without checking the current objectives. |
| Linux+ old code | If you see XK0-005 in old notes or searches, start with the current XK0-006 page. |
| Data+ old code | If you see DA0-001 in old notes or searches, start with the current DA0-002 page. |
| App family split | Project+ belongs with PM Mastery on this site; the other CompTIA infrastructure, cloud, data, and security pages belong with IT Mastery. |
| Retirement windows | Keep older exam-code pages useful, but send candidates toward the current code before they over-study stale objectives. |
