CompTIA Certification Exam AI Helper — Pearson VUE OnVUE
CompTIA certifications (A+, Network+, Security+) are delivered online through Pearson VUE OnVUE. Some, like Security+, include performance-based questions (PBQs) alongside multiple choice. The proctoring is the same strict OnVUE model.
OnVUE and PBQs
OnVUE enforces a secure-browser lockdown, ID and 360° room scan, and continuous webcam plus screen review. CompTIA's performance-based questions ask you to configure a simulated environment, so they test applied skill under that live-proctored lockdown.
The overlay-vs-webcam reality
A native overlay avoids the process and screen-capture checks the lockdown runs, but OnVUE's live webcam and room scan mean off-screen material is visible. For a live-proctored cert, the camera is the limit.
Where AI wins for CompTIA
AI is most valuable for prep: generate Security+ practice questions, walk through PBQ-style scenarios, and explain networking and security concepts until recall is automatic. That's the reliable route through OnVUE.

Can you use AI during a CompTIA OnVUE exam?
OnVUE combines a secure-browser lockdown with live and AI webcam/room monitoring. A native overlay avoids the process and screen checks, but the live webcam is the constraint, so AI is most reliable for preparation.
What are CompTIA PBQs?
Performance-based questions ask you to configure or troubleshoot a simulated environment rather than pick an answer — they test applied skill and are best handled through real practice.
Is UFOlee free for CompTIA prep?
Yes, there's a free tier; one-time passes start at $7.
