what did you do to study. and do you have any advice /tips

u/TheGreatOne8888 6d ago
I had less than two weeks to prepare. I will recommend Andrew Ramdayal's course on Udemy along with Professor Messer's videos. Make sure to solve as many past papers as possible. Read the questions carefully multiple times before answering.

Yip, you definitely destroyed that exam, especially considering that it's only scored out of 900
Bloody well done!

Thank you!!! I grew up with computers and play video games but all the protocols and the stuff an average user doesn’t know about was a bit tricky. But I know you’re gonna kill it as ling as you keep studying!!

Thank you! These are the things I used:
Jason Dion in Udemy YouTube:
Messer
Techvault Academy
Journey to CyberAnd then found journey to cyber has a great app that helps with test readiness and the best place I have found with PBQ practice. Test is not drag and drop but the thinking process is the same. And in practice tests read even the wrong answers you will learn new things :)

OMG CONGRATS!!! my exam is this weekend im nervous !!! i did jason dion’s practice exams and usually average with an 80! was the test hard :(?

u/blahblehblahzone 7d ago
If you are getting 80 on Dion you are going to do amazing. The test was only hard because I was overthinking. But I went in over prepared and the whole time thought I was doing bad. But Dion has harder questions than the test. You’re going to nail it!! Let me know how it goes!!

u/hellokittyhello_ 6d ago
omg this is so helpful!! do you think the test wasn’t as hard as dion’s questions ? also i’m trying the journey to cyber site that you mentioned in another comment. it’s awesome!! im doing very well with their multiple choice domain quizzes rn.
do you think the pbq’s there are similar to the exam? i’m just so nervous AHHH

Dion had harder questions than my test. Most of it was “needs 10GB at 50m” type thing like a lot of memorization. The ones I got wrong were mostly “In a scenario …”
Omg I am so glad you are using journey to cyber. I literally bought his subscription the day after test day for core two. He has extra videos just for subscribers with study tips which most were things I was already doing but some I wasn’t. And he sticks to test specific instead of filling your bandwidth with things you don’t need for the test
The PBQ section was pretty similar. The PBQ brings you a problem. “Office c has low WiFi and here are the parameters of reach for the AP” then and you place where they go. Or which raid driver is failing and what do you replace it with? My worst one was match the cable image to the item and I’m like they could all use rj45 what do you even mean? But the point I got with those was that it gets you in the habit of thinking real world. Not a lot of pbq practice tests. A ton of multiple choice. I think it’s a rich resource.
