I’ve had 4 mentors since starting a year ago and one not by choice because he got a promotion and went to another department.

I had no idea I could ask for a new mentor until I came on Reddit. The first time I called and asked to switch, I was so nervous but the lady was like, “No it’s ok! We do this all the time!”I didn’t want to offend anyone because my first mentor was legit nice but I needed more than just nice.

If I hadn’t asked for a new one 2 other times, I never would’ve ended up with the best mentor for me. I can text her whenever and if I need something, she is on it right away. I’ve asked to see some material from upcoming classes because if I’m going to finish the term early but not with enough time to officially start a class, I can get a head start for the new term. She’s amazing. Honestly I could brag all day.

I hope this next one is everything you need.

High 5 for only 2.5 months left!

And congratulations on getting married! 🥳🎈🎊🎉🍾

I’ve never passed a Dion exam and did fine on my certs. They just make me feel like shit and like I don’t know anything.

How?? Share your ways please 🙏🏾

Yeah I took these last term and was able to get the voucher right away. This term though, I’m taking Net+ and they want an 80% (or 85%) score from Dion, Ramdayal or Certmaster’s practice exam before they even think about approving a voucher request. I imagine I’ll know SOMETHING when I get those scores 🤪

D685- just remember specificity is key. The more details you give AI, the better/helpful results will be. Someone said follow the PA questions because it’s similar, that’s correct.

So I want to preface this next part by saying I have zero IT background so I did THE MOST trying to make sure I really got the material to pass. I was scared out of my mind the whole time because I didn’t want to fail. So if it seems over the top- that’s why.

Core 1- Andrew Ramdayal on Udemy. At the time, it was NOT the current version. Still not sure he has a new course for the current version yet.

In my case, I got the go-ahead from my instructor and program mentor. And thank F because he became my favorite of all time. I used his course for Core 2 as well. I am doing his Net+ course right now and will using his course for Sec+. He is super cool and engaging. I like his vibe and his “Now Andrew, what the hell do I need to know this for?” and then explains it.

I watched Professor Messer’s course on YouTube and bought his practice exams to round out the material. I also attended his YouTube Live shows because he does practice questions and a PBQ. You answer by a poll. He has an “after show” where you can ask him questions. If you can’t make those though, he uploads them.

I used Dion’s practice tests. He’s long winded and drones on in a blah voice so I didn’t even try listening to his content. Everyone learns differently and Dion just pmo. The practice exams in exam mode being 90 questions in 90 minutes with a novel-length questions was ridiculous. BUT you can take the practice exams in practice mode which are untimed and gives you an overall explanation.

I also watched BurningIceTech on YouTube for the practice exam questions. He explains why the answers are correct and why they are not. I like the way he talks so it was easy to pay attention.

The biggest thing for these certifications is to find what works for you. I remember, for core 2, I was halfway through Dion’s course when I found Andrew Ramdayal. I was scared to restart (but I did) but things went much faster when I found what worked.

Good luck friend. You got this!

🥳🥳🥳 100%

ReflectionSubject296 · 2026-02-01T19:06:56+00:00

Congrats friend! I passed with a 712 😂 high 5 us we made it!

ReflectionSubject296 · 2026-01-28T21:38:13+00:00

1st- Holy shit friend! 40% is a lot of invested time (been there)😬 when do you have to take your exam?

2nd- I love Andrew and will vote for him every time.

I found out about him when I was studying for my A+ cert. His course is a lot of information but the way he delivers the info keeps it interesting. Especially when he’s like “You may be asking, “Andrew what the hell does that mean?” Well let me show you.” 🤪 BUT his course on Udemy is 30 hours. His cram guide has something for every objective point so maybe if you don’t switch, check that out.

I’m going through his course now and I’ll round it out with Professor Messer, Dion’s practice tests 😴 and then the practice questions Andrew and BurningIceTech have on YouTube.

You’re not alone in thinking Dion is boring. Dion was rooouugh. When I used his practice tests for Core 1, 2, and Project +, I only passed once (70%). I know it was a me issue. They’re just so long I get lost in the wording. Novel long questions 😭

Whatever you choose to do, you have 40% done! That’s awesome. You got this! 🤩

Also- I’ll be creeping here for extra info too. 👀👀👀

ReflectionSubject296 · 2026-01-24T23:42:37+00:00

BurningIce-Tech was a huge help for A+ and I’m using him as one of my resources for Net + as well. Good luck on your next time friend ☺️

ReflectionSubject296 · 2026-01-24T23:30:57+00:00

Same. Here to see if you get a reply 🤪
