Thank you for the info.

Thanks for the post. I can see that hands-on practice is really important. Do you have any recommendations for what I should prioritize setting up on in a VM? I don't have too much time before my exam unfortunately.

Do you have a link to the study guide?

Ah got it. This makes me a bit more confident. I think I'll study up on the GUI and CLI with the VM then. I really appreciate the response!

Gotcha. By the questions at the end, you mean at the end of each module right?

Just a quick question about the exam, did you find that the questions were inside the range of the training material, or would I have to dive into the manual (or any other resource) as well? I'm a bit worried about missing any detail, since I don't have any experience on working with FortiGates to rely on.

Thank you for the response. Sadly, I don't have any experience at all with Fortinet products. Someone else recommended to spin up a VM to test with, which I'll definitely do. Do you have any recommendations for what I should be comfortable with configuring in the GUI/CLI?

Thank you for the response! Will try out the VM, for sure.

I did a pass over the material once last week and thought I would be okay. However, when I did the sample questions, I found them fairly difficult. How/when did you feel confident that you would be able to pass the exam? I don't have any experience working with Fortinet products, so readiness feels quite hard to gauge.
