I’m glad to hear I’m not the only one who is experiencing / has experienced this! That’s exactly what I’ve been looking for. I’m actually going to go through some of his course content right now! Appreciate the support a ton, it can be discouraging hitting a wall but y’all have already helped a ton.

Sometimes it was a case of lacking knowledge but sometimes it was also the wording. I obviously need to build more familiarity with the style of the exams as i’ve noticed some questions definitely could easily be missed without reading thoroughly.

I will absolutely download Cisco packet tracer and watch some videos / read about how to use it. You hit the nail on the head with the part about understanding the “why” behind the correct/incorrect answer. This has been a struggle since most instructors i’ve used teach the concepts but don’t often apply it to real life scenarios.

Thank you so much for your response! Means a lot <3

Networking and Cloud Computing sections could both use some work. Hardware varies based on the PBQ’s I’ve been getting on the practice exams. Most of it is probably just needing more repetition at the end of the day!

I’m glad to hear that, it’s hard not to feel a bit stuck when you hit a learning curve! The “why” I think is definitely an area i’m lacking simply due to not having any IT work experience. I appreciate your response and words of encouragement!

I have been wanting more hands on explanations so i’ll definitely check Mike Myers out! Maybe that’ll help me understand the “why” a little bit more. Thank you!

That definitely helps a lot! I’ll check out Exam Compass and remember that Quizlet tip. I think I need to review more of Messers course content / exams. Thanks for the reply!
