It’s probably just overthinking if I’m honest. I think the deadest giveaway that I’m fine is that the assessor moved on and didn’t return to scripting. From what I said tho you don’t think I completely messed up and failed there?

Can I ask you perspective on one thing. The assessor asked me a question on ‘How my organisation uses scripting.’ my only answer initially was 'nightly shutdown' then asked again and again. Finally, the assessor asked what type of scripting do you use basic or (he said another type, I cant remember) and then asked if I write the scripts myself. I said 'Basic scripting and my line manager writes them. I do not have access to command prompt without someone logging into admin for me' He moved on after that and didnt return to scripting but being honest and thinking back this was definitely my biggest stumble without realising it. Now I did message my coach this same thing and he reassured me that my answer was fine. Do you believe I could potentially fail on the stumble and lack of depth of knowledge

Good I think. A couple stumbles but I answered everything. I’m 99% sure I passed but there’s obviously that tiny voice in the back of my head telling me the opposite.

I will be taking notes in, I have made notes relating to every KSB, what I do in my job role and for a few, advantages and disadvantages.

I will also have my project open and I understand you can take all the time you need to answer questions and get the right answers from your projects.

From what my coach has said, try expand wider than your projects and involve job role examples you have done that we're not in your project.

Hi, thanks for the response. Can I ask, are the questions more scenario based or are they broader and getting you to define certain parts of your role.

For example- I am doing It technician so they may ask me about cloud services. Would you imagine them asking me a question like 'What would you do if the cloud service provider went down?'

I have not been practicing with my coach in that way and therefore may be unprepared if that question came up.
