After all tests done by system you will get the final results sheet (also it will be cached) and it will show you current state of your web server configuration, where you have made mistakes and what you can easily fix on your own (it will link you some recommendations as well).

So all you need just start the free scan with qualys ssl test lab, wait a bit and get the results, than fix them to get level A or A+.
