Provo is MyComputerCareer's exam-readiness lab for IT certifications. It turns each exam's official objectives into short drills, hands-on performance-based questions (PBQs), and timed practice exams, and it shows students exactly which topics they have mastered and which still need work.
The name "Provo" come from the Italian verb provare meaning "to prove". Provo is simply the first-person present form (io provo = I prove)
MyComputerCareer (MyCC) trains people for careers in information technology. Its programs take students who are new to IT through industry certifications such as CompTIA A+, Network+, Security+, and CySA+. Its motto is Training for a better life.
Provo was built by a MyCC instructor to support that training. It gives students a place to practice between classes and a clear, honest picture of when they are ready to book the exam.
- Follows the official objectives. Every module maps to the exam's published domains, weighted the way the exam weighs them. Topics removed from the current exam version are left out.
- Builds skills in stages. Students start with vocabulary (acronyms, ports, the OSI model), move to core skills (subnetting, media, security), then troubleshooting, exam technique, and timed practice exams.
- Practices the hard questions. Randomized performance-based questions put students at a switch console, a cable tester, a routing table, a firewall rule set, or a NOC dashboard, the same kinds of tasks the exam asks for.
- Measures real mastery. Each module ranks a student from Beginner to Intermediate, Advanced, Expert, and Pro, based on what they have answered correctly over time, not on one lucky run. Reaching Expert in every module earns the Mastery Badge.
- Uses original content only. No question is copied from a real exam or a brain dump. Answers are checked against the exam objectives, the relevant standards, or vendor documentation.
- Keeps progress private. Progress is saved on the student's own device. Nothing is sent anywhere, and there is no account to create.

Provo runs three ways. Each exam's page has step-by-step setup for all three.
- In a web browser: open Provo. Nothing to install. Works on computers, tablets, and phones. On iPhone, tap Share, then Add to Home Screen.
- As a single file: download the
.htmlfile from the Releases page and open it, even with no internet. - Inside Joplin: install the
.jplplugin from the Releases page, and the lab opens inside the student's Joplin study notes on desktop or Android.
- Each exam's folder lists its modules, how ranks are earned, and its changelog.
- Every version is published on the Releases page.
- To report a wrong answer or suggest a topic, open an issue.
- To change content or code, follow CONTRIBUTING.md.
