All three CompTIA tracks live

Pass the cert. Know what the job feels like.

Story-driven study sessions, real exam practice, and a help desk simulator in one place. It is the hands-on experience you normally can't get without a job, mapped to whichever cert you are chasing first.

No credit card. Free tier is full, not a trial.Built by a former CTE teacher and current MSP founder.

Tracks get named in one place so a name never lands here before the work does. See the roadmap for what is being considered next.

Four ways to practice. One unified path.

Videos and question banks get you through the exam. What they cannot give you is the doing: working a real ticket in real tools. Revy is those study modes plus that hands-on layer, in one path.

Adventure Mode

Story-driven helpdesk scenarios with branching choices. You watch a ticket arrive, decide who to ask first, and learn the why before the what.

  • Branching outcomes
  • Revy debriefs at each fork
  • Story tied to objectives

Study Mode

Four study surfaces, each built for a different job.

  • Flashcards drill recall
  • Quizzes test application
  • Study Guide keeps the V15 reference open
  • PBQs in five authored practice patterns

RTJ practices five authored PBQ patterns: drag-target, image hotspot, ordered list, validated input, and log picker. CompTIA does not publish a fixed PBQ count, position, or format taxonomy.

Help Desk Simulator

A ticket queue where you do the actual work, not just pick the right-sounding reply. Many tickets are hands-on, and the tools are track-specific: A+ opens Command Prompt, Task Manager, and Settings; Network+ opens switch, router, and firewall consoles; Security+ opens an identity console, endpoint containment, log search, and forensic capture. You type the command, configure the VLAN, isolate a compromised host, or spot the phishing red flags, and the ticket resolves only once you have really done it. Every ticket maps to a CompTIA exam objective and holds you to the six-step troubleshooting method, so it counts toward the test as much as the job, and the customer reacts to how you handle them.

  • Do the real fix, mapped to a CompTIA exam objective and the six-step method
  • Track-specific tools: A+ Windows, Network+ consoles, Security+ SOC
  • Customers who react to how you handle them

I run an MSP. I have techs who need certs. I wanted one tool that taught the cert and the job at the same time, and after three years looking I could not find it. So I built it. My techs use it. Eventually, your team will too.

The free tier is not a teaser. Study and Flashcards are unlimited. Adventure includes one full lesson per track, and the Simulator gives you five tickets a day. One free Practice Exam per track shows you your Mastery Index and evidence-quality label. Pro removes the caps. That is the line.

The questions you are actually thinking.

Is this endorsed by CompTIA, Microsoft, or any other certification body?

No. Revy's Tech Journey is an independent training resource. The cert names belong to their respective owners. Content is built around publicly available exam objectives plus real-world IT knowledge from working professionals.

How is this different from the other cert-prep apps out there?

We go past the test. Revy adds the Help Desk Simulator and Adventure scenarios so you learn the cert and the job at the same time. The Mastery Index summarizes correctness across RTJ questions and highlights domains that need more work. Read it with the evidence-quality label. It is an internal, uncalibrated study signal, not a pass prediction.

How long until I am ready to take A+?

Study time varies by experience, schedule, and how consistently you practice. RTJ does not determine when you should schedule. Review the Mastery Index with its evidence-quality label, recent full-length Practice Exam results, domain gaps, pacing, and PBQ performance. The index is not a prediction or timeline.

What does it actually cost, and are there hidden upsells?

The free tier is genuinely full: unlimited Study and Flashcards, one Adventure lesson and one full-length Practice Exam per track, and five Simulator tickets a day, no credit card. Pro is a flat monthly price that opens the full Q-bank, unlimited Simulator, and unlimited Practice Exam retakes, and there is a one-time Lifetime option. The exact numbers are on the pricing page, and there are no surprise upsells after checkout.

You are new. What if Revy's Tech Journey is not around in a year?

A fair question for any new tool. The founder runs an active MSP and uses this to train his own techs, so it is not a side project that gets abandoned. And the Lifetime option is a one-time payment with no subscription, so if you buy it, you keep it. We would rather say that plainly than pretend we are a decade-old brand.
