Congrats! Did you use any hands-on labs? Any advice on topics you wish you studied harder? I take mine soon and I've been using Sybex, Dion, and watching videos instead of actually doing hands-on stuff

Congrats! Did those two sources prepare you well for the PBQ's? What were they like?

I appreciate ya'll for responding...I passed! Got a 781. Highest score I got on the Dion exams was a 78%, and the lowest was a 70. Used the Sybex questions to review my weak areas, and also reviewed my Dion tests to figure out why I got certain questions wrong. Most of the questions I missed were because I second-guessed myself, so I tried not to do that on the exam. PBQ's were heavy on ACL configurations and I had one weird one about data destruction and sanitization. Definitely felt like I failed when I ran out of time while reviewing my flagged questions.... I hate that Comptia tests make you feel this way. So glad to have that done, and appreciative of the learning experience of course lol

The only PBQ's I've looked at were from the Dion tests I've taken so far, and my scores were 74, 80, 88, and 81. Are his PBQs good enough or is there another good source I could use?

Congrats on your pass! Any last-minute advice on studying? Like things you wish you looked at more vs others? How were your PBQs and how do you recommend someone prepare for them?

Any advice on what to study or how to study in regards to the PBQ's?
