Each activity has a maximum number of CEUs that can be submitted based on the activity type. When looking for activities to participate in make sure that 50% of the subject being taught, subject you are teaching or what you are writing about relates to one or more of the exam objectives for the certification you are renewing. CompTIA encourages you to use your best judgment in determining activities with relevant topics relating to the certification being renewed.
