About BoardITGuy
What BoardITGuy is
BoardITGuy makes hand-drawn visual study boards for IT certification exams. A board is a map of one exam: every objective sits on its own sheet, drawn so you can see how the topics connect. Flashcards are written from the cards on the map, and every board comes with original practice questions that explain the answer. Read the map, recall it with flashcards, prove it on practice questions, and watch a Treemap of your cards turn from red to green as your scores rise.
You open a board on the website in your browser, on a computer or a phone. There is nothing to download. Your flashcard progress, bookmarks, sticky notes and test results are saved to your account.
Who it helps
- People studying for an IT certification on their own who learn better from diagrams than from long lists.
- People who already have a video course or a book and want one place to read, recall and test themselves, and see what is left.
- People who are tired of memorising ports, acronyms and terms without seeing where they fit.
Who it is not for
- It is not a hands-on lab. You still need to practise on real equipment, a simulator or a cloud account for the exams that test it.
- It is not a full video course and it is not a replacement for a practice-exam engine with performance-based simulations.
- It does not promise a pass. Use it as one part of your preparation.
The boards
BoardITGuy currently has boards for CompTIA A+ (Core 1 and Core 2), Network+, Security+ (SY0-801) and SecAI+, Cisco CCNA, CCNP ENCOR, ENARSI and SCOR, ISC2 CISSP, ISACA CISM, and the AWS Certified Solutions Architect Associate. Each board states the exam version it follows, so check that it matches the exam you are booking.
Price and access
Each board is a one-time purchase between $29.99 and $49.99. There is no subscription and no expiry date. Every board has a free preview that needs no account, so you can see the sheets, the flashcards and the questions before you pay. You can ask for a refund within 7 days of buying; the details are in the Refund Policy.
Where the content comes from
The boards, flashcards and practice questions are written for BoardITGuy from each exam's published objectives, vendor documentation and standards. They are not copied from books, and BoardITGuy does not sell or use exam dumps. If you find a mistake, write to us and we will fix it.
