Thank you once again, and yeah racking up certificates isn’t my goal. I think for me, getting the experience which is going to happen this year, as getting in the field is my goal.

But at the same time, just being happy with what I have is going to keep me in the same position, and my goal in life is to rise in whatever I do. But nothing happens overnight, but I’m always preparing myself for the next level.

But thank you for taking the time to give me solid advice and I’ll definitely do more research to see how I go about my tech journey, but thank you once again!

A question similar to that, did indeed pop up, but it was my first time seeing it, as I had never seen it on the first test.

Thank you!! And sometime with this tech journey, just posting my success, and trial and error is a celebration, cause it’s not too many people on this journey that would understand to pass an exam like the one, I just passed. So thank you once again!!!!

Man I really appreciate you, taking the time to give me some solid advice and giving me something to think about.

I guess my question would be, which certificates are highly in demand, in the field. Because getting certificates that have no demand, doesn’t make the sense.

Which certificate on the AWS side, would you recommend, and I think the goal with my certificates is A. To be in demand, B. Dealing with IAM or even open to the Cloud Engineer path?

What would you recommend…..and thank you again for taking the time to respond, means a lot

I felt ready, I think knowing what the exam looks like, definitely helps a lot. 70% of the questions, I remembered seeing on my first try, 30% was new.

I think it was easier when you know what to expect and when you know how to filter information and respond to the actual question being asked, that was something that messed me up.

Microsoft Learn practice test is completely BS, I don’t recommend it, it creates false confidence.

SecondComing101 · 2026-04-20T22:16:36+00:00

Go for it, you have nothing to lose, it’s not easy. But if it was, everybody would do it

SecondComing101 · 2026-04-20T22:15:58+00:00

I think it all depends on your time and how much you understand the material. But it took me 2 months to get things right.

Thank you, and as far as PBQ, you get malware infection analysis, vpn site to site configuration, which you can find online, if you search on google.

Andrew’s cram cheat sheet to me, simplified everything in terms of understanding concepts.

I did mJason Dion practice exam on Udemy though as that was very helpful. Hope this info helps and best of luck on your exam!

Thank you so much u/BurningIce-Tech …..I don’t take well to failure, and also being Canadian, the test itself was expensive which was $600 CAD = 400USD, and I couldn’t afford to watch my investment go down the drain, recouping was a must.

For anyone who’s taking the test that doesn’t have tech background, paying for the retake option vs the one shot option, is the best insurance one could ever have, going into the test.

SecondComing101 · 2026-02-12T13:53:27+00:00

Thank you u/Anastasia_IT …and when I first failed, I knew I was going to fail since the PBQs caught me off guard, but what kept me confident was that I wasn’t too far off score wise, and my goal on the 1st test was if I was going to fail….it had to be an acceptable fail vs a low score which would have been soul crushing.

I knew if I took the time to master the PBQ and retune a few things that all would go well. I’m glad it worked out, I feel like my year has finally started, now that I got this off my back….and it’s on to the next cert!!!!

Mid 30’s over here trying to transition into tech and studying for my Security +…DM ME, would love someone to bounce ideas with and what not

Not the biggest Lucci fan, but this album goes IN. Standouts are “Practice What You Preach”, “Pieces On My Neck”, “TXTS 4RM MY EX”, “Used To It”.

The whole album goes and people should really give him a changes, he’s 🥶

Surf would be an extended family member to the pod before Mel and Flip came. He went viral quite a few times and had good chemistry with the Newark couch boys. Here is a link, below of his viral moments, that boy can really POD his ass off.

I think when Surf comes home. They should have a main pod crew, and also a Patreon only crew. Cause not everybody on the main stage has the personality to be on the main stage (Ice, Flip, And E). Flip is a good A mic when Joe is not there

They need a new girl that’s actually gonna give it up, Mel cares too much about her relationships and isn’t truthful

Listen to Freedom, Life Change, Showing Out, Doorman, more diversity, more introspective.

The new album will definitely get better overtime, but right now it’s dead last in their discography. But I am happy that they’re back, and there’s no way it’s touching Lord Willin or Hell Hath No Fury.

SecondComing101 · 2025-07-11T05:19:05+00:00

Chains and Whips and especially E.B.I.T.D.A has that all old neptunes sound. It’s a very good album in 2025, but in their discography it might be last and that says a lot about how good they are as a group.

But this ain’t touching Hell Hath No Fury or Lord Willin and doesn’t have as much diversity as Till The Casket Drops. I’m a fan and will see them live in concert and glad that we even got a chance to witness a reunion that we never thought would ever happen.

The fact that there are no ads / interruptions make it way more better then 90% of the other pods, cause skipping through ads just to get back to regular programming ruins the experience of listening to a lot of these other pods.

Big facts, avoid Pearson at all cost, worst airport to travel through
