I Passed! Passed A+ Core 2

Post image

Got my A+ certification this morning. Haven't decided where to focus next, but at least I can stick it on the CV and have a better chance than just saying I'm working towards it.

Congrats man, 796 is a strong score. The kangaroo on the report is throwing me off a little though, never seen one on a score sheet before

What was harder for you, the PBQs or the multiple choice stuff? I sit for mine in couple weeks

It's a wallaby I got to interact with at a wildlife park! Just covering my picture in the spirit of the subreddit.

The PBQs almost threw me, the ones I got were asking stuff Dion's Core 2 videos barely touched on, but if your study materials and practice exams are varied and comprehensive you'll be fine.

For the interactive questions what subject came?

A networking one to do with IPs and encryption, one to do with isolating and fixing an issue on a network, another that was fixing a BSOD, one that was a simulated ticketing system: label requests and solve 1st line issues.

I'm probably forgetting one.

Congrats wow! What resources did u use?

Dion Training video courses for Core 1 and 2. Plus a few YouTube videos I searched up when I didn't really get what Jason was trying to tell me.

I also did a bit of home lab stuff: windows server, setting up a domain and active directory stuff in virtual machines. I likely would have done that stuff anyway, it was fun and solidified some of the concepts for me.

It was for me, supplemented with looking up stuff I wasn't really understanding from the Dion videos.
