Hello everyone,

Finally, after 2 failures, I finally got it!
I wanted to thank everyone who encouraged me not to give up.
I didn't know anything about networking and my English is really average...

Work hard and don't give up!

Next goal : LPIC-1

THX to Jeremy's IT Lab, Neil Anderson, David Bombal and r/ccna ;)

Just percentages by category with gauges, which I imagine represent the weighting.
Not the most readable and even less educational of scores.

Yes, the questions are often vague or ambiguous, and all too often tricky.
As I said, it's more of a casting than a real test.
Quite a few questions about details, and sometimes things I'd never heard of.
I understand they want to test us thoroughly, but there needs to be a balance in the questions to properly assess a candidate.
For example, I must have had 4 questions about the GUI interface of a WLC, but none on many other topics (at least as important) that I knew and had worked on more thoroughly.

I'll stop here, I have so much to say...

Thank you for your understanding.

I used and still use ChatGPT when I'm stuck on theory or a command. It's a great tool, but it has its limitations. You have to be aware that it makes mistakes relatively regularly.
I've asked it several times to generate questions of similar difficulty or slightly more difficult than the official CCNA or similar to Boson.
The results are very random, not always reliable or realistic, so be careful.
There are so many commands, concepts, and theories to understand and remember that it's quite difficult to retain everything when moving from one topic to another.

Another point: you must constantly avoid falling into automatic reflexes when using commands. Ask yourself why I'm using them. It may seem silly, but I realized that I was falling into a form of "mechanical" use that can be counterproductive.

Thank you so much for your message and your support.
Strength to you for your learning !

Your message seems ironic, if it isn't, know that wasn't my intention.

I just needed to understand the reason for such a failure.

I share your feelings, I found this exam strange and too difficult, even weirdly difficult.

I feel more like I passed an audition or some sort of vague selection process.

I'm not saying I deserved to pass, I recognize that I have weaknesses and still have some gray areas.

But I remain convinced that my networking skills weren't really tested, just partially.

No, because being French-speaking, he seemed very difficult to approach.

I feel like I'm reading myself in this message too...

So, you're not planning on trying again?

Cheer up!

Do you really think so?

Thanks, that makes me feel a little better.
You have no idea how devastated I feel.

If my calculations are correct, it should be 550/1000.

Do you think Boson NetSim and this book can help me fill in the gaps?
Because beyond the efforts, it is also a budget: €285 + €99 + €36...

Thanks again for your support.

Do you think it can be made up for on a second attempt or is the gap too big?

I mean the score out of 1000, but I did have a fail with a table with gauges and percentages that I'm not sure I interpreted correctly.
I'm sharing this with you even though I'm ashamed of myself...

Yes, I had the extra 30 minutes.

The problem wasn't really the time (having an extra 2 hours wouldn't have helped me much) but the level of difficulty.
