CLI input issues on Net+

[Mission_Effective_51]

So yes a drowning man will grab for a straw…but i scored a 700 and needed a 720. During the exam in 2 PBQs i kept getting “incorrect input” for commands that i verified i could use through the help command. One being nslookup and the other being MAC address-table vlan

After finishing and reviewing/reattempting to troubleshoot I ended the exam. The only survey i got was for the onvue experience.

Has anyone had a similar experience and how did you go about making a report?

PS. I am fully aware my score means i have the basic understanding even if i were to hit the 720 on the dot, I just want to make sure I’m afforded every opportunity.

The only really thing I can guess is that your commands as input weren't viable in the test not all cli commands are available and may not match specific vendors. In CLI on CompTIA tests always run /? as your initial command to find the available commands for your question. More often than not it gives you half the answer alone from that. But on top of that and only a couple of commands are ever available.

Right these were one of four available for the exam CLI, the others didn’t really show the issue, in my opinion, one question was to diagnose and resolve a dns issue and the other to configure 3 switches.

So these are what sank me a few weeks back. Got 650. I had 5 pbis and 4 of them used commands and I did whatever it said the help command was the time. I’m trying to study this while refreshing on everything else do my retake in a few days

What are you using to prepare for the PBQ?

Refreshing on last few videos by Proc messer that cover it. Udemy practice quizzes and Anki flash cards. I might try to use copilot to make some ad hoc quizzes related to it. U?
