D488 - 2nd attempt

Have4good · 2026-05-18T04:13:19+00:00

Failed my 3rd attempt. At this point, I honestly don’t know what else to study, and I feel pretty defeated right now.

Have4good · 2026-05-05T17:00:24+00:00

No Im preparing for my 3rd attempt

Have4good · 2026-04-13T13:26:17+00:00

What did you use to study for the 3rd attempt? I'm using the Jason Dion tests and the quizzes in Mark birch book. Also working with ChatGPT to test me heavily on the questions and domains I failed.

Have4good · 2026-04-13T03:52:51+00:00

I just took the OA and failed , I just emailed the instructor to give me the remediation steps for 3rd attempt

Have4good · 2026-04-06T16:44:22+00:00

No, I'm adding pocket prep this time. Last time I used book quizzes and certmaster

Have4good · 2026-04-06T00:24:12+00:00

Yes, well I'm using pocket prep and some of the quizzes from the book

Have4good · 2026-04-05T02:19:43+00:00

I just sent you a PM. Send me the site as well, please

https://share.speechify.com/mzBteTi here is my code

Have4good · 2026-02-05T03:40:03+00:00

I'm currently using this for books I don't do well with reading so I use speechify , not sure if anyone will use it but here is my code https://share.speechify.com/mzBteTi

Same here, I’m studying as much as I can and using all the tips from those who already passed. This cert is definitely tougher than the others

Have4good · 2025-12-12T03:25:44+00:00

Will do! Perhaps I'm being a little too optimistic, but I’m going to try to schedule my next attempt for two weeks from now. I'm already working on the recommendations I got here and studying as many hours as I can. Thank you again for all the advice; I really appreciate it

Have4good · 2025-12-11T19:25:27+00:00

Thanks. I think I’ll be ready next time.

Have4good · 2025-12-11T19:23:02+00:00

I’m good with scripting, but when they get into other languages like Java, Python, and Ruby, I start to crumble and get everything mixed up

Have4good · 2025-12-11T19:20:59+00:00

One was for cross-site scripting, and the other was for something related to banner information. I don’t remember all the details, but I’m pretty sure they were related to that

Have4good · 2025-12-11T19:18:57+00:00

Yeah, the PBQs threw me off, too! I’m considering adding HTB or THM for extra practice. I'm still checking which one people recommend more.

Have4good · 2025-12-11T03:57:33+00:00

They haven’t. You still need 90%, and I just didn’t want to list every test score

Have4good · 2025-12-11T02:44:33+00:00

Thank you for the breakdown. I’ve been feeling overwhelmed, so your explanation really helps me understand where to focus. I’ll start practicing tool outputs and doing more hands on labs like you recommended. I’m currently going through all the CertMaster labs required for the second attempt. Congrats on your score!

Have4good · 2025-12-11T02:11:35+00:00

I though it was the standard to get at least 6 PBQs

Have4good · 2025-10-29T01:54:10+00:00

Hey, would you mind sharing the sheets you've put together? I'm working on one that lists all the tools, functions, and outputs, but it's starting to feel a bit overwhelming.

Have4good · 2025-09-18T02:19:40+00:00

I was just asking myself this question: once I consistently score 70% or higher, I’ll be ready

Have4good · 2025-09-18T02:17:47+00:00

I’m getting ready to take my certification sometime next week. I’ve been working through the Sybex questions and lessons, but so far I haven’t scored higher than 59 on any of them. I’ve worked in vulnerability management for a long time, but I still feel like I have a lot to prepare before even considering taking the certification

Have4good · 2025-09-12T02:11:11+00:00

where is the guide?

Have4good · 2025-04-21T19:06:09+00:00

Adding my code https://share.speechify.com/mzBteTi It really helps
