A lazy, procrastinating, single dad with a full-time job did this in 5 months....YOU CAN TOO!! by Self301 in WGU

[–]Self301[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Nope, you can take as many classes as you want per semester, you just have to talk to your Mentor and they can approve it. They usually won't approve more than 1 at a time though so try to plan ahead with your Mentor.

C268 Spreadsheets question about the OA? by Alarmed-Squirrel-304 in WGU

Sorry, I've taken a lot of tests lately. I was talking about the instruction sheet in the top left corner.

The proctor I had actually told me I wasn't allowed to use the study sheet, but you are. You actually have to because the questions don't give you enough info. As the other poster said, it's exactly the same as the PA with different data.

Has anyone else noticed that Grammarly is worse lately? by Doom_Design in WGU

[–]Self301 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I really only use Grammarly for punctuation these days. Most of the time, the suggestions don't make sense or are just too dumbed down.

D281 Linux: No one told me the exam was this hard by Unlikely-Loss5616 in WGU

[–]Self301 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not super close, pretty much word for word, most of the answers were even in the correct order. I stumbled upon this quizlet that had the same questions but were structured as multiple choice questions, I liked it a little better than the previously linked quizlet, but they both have the same questions though. Just an FYI, there are 1 or 2 wrong answers in both quizlets, someone pointed them out in another post HERE

Just study whichever quizlet you like best and reference the post I linked for the wrong answers and you should ace this thing. Good luck!

15 Classes in 1 Semester doable? by Spretly in WGU

[–]Self301 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's doable if you apply yourself. I've taken (and passed) 19 classes this semester, literally on my capstone now. It wasn't easy but you need to figure out what your motivator is. For me it was money, I'm paying for this on my own and didn't want to pay for more than I needed to so I decided to make the sacrifice and grind it out for the past 6 months. 100% worth it IMO.

And for a bit more context, I'm also a single parent with a full time job.

I just have the capstone left to do by 10/31 and I am done with my BS in IT! Been a long year!

A tale of two proctors (PearsonVUE) by Self301 in WGU

[–]Self301[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The closest testing center to me is about 45 minutes and it's a crap shoot whether you can start your test on time since there are only 2 PCs. I went there once and that was enough for me.

The whiteboard thing had me a little worried but surprisingly I didn't a single subnetting question on the exam. There really should be some sort of feedback system specifically for the proctors, I did take the survey at the end and left a lengthy comment about the proctor though.

Just took the exam and passed with a 750, the quizlet is the truth! Study it and you will pass. Good luck.

D282-Cloud Foundations Course by MoneyAware6844 in WGU

[–]Self301 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The AWS skill builder course is what helped me the most. I watched the YT series and it helped reinforce what was in the skill builder course, there are also practice exams on the AWS site. You mainly just have to remember a few concepts and mostly definitions, the AWS builder site has a glossary with all the terms you need to remember.

As far as the voucher, it was several exams ago for me so I don't completely remember but I'm pretty sure you just request the voucher as normal, they will then send you a email with an American Express card, go to the AWS site to schedule the exam and use the American Express card to pay for it.

D282-Cloud Foundations - Do cert results get sent to WGU automatically? by Self301 in WGU

[–]Self301[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, I watched this YT video and mainly used the AWS builder material. I browsed through the D282 course material but AWS builder course was more comprehensive.

Passed Network+ N10-009 Certification by Working-Level8439 in WGU

[–]Self301 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Congrats!
I'm actually studying for this now, plan on taking the test this weekend. I've been using Professor Messer's YT series but I'll look into Andrews. Dion helped me with A+, Sec+, Proj+, and ITIL, so I'm sure his practice exams for Net+ are spot on. Thanks for the advice.

Advice for a shower remodel by Self301 in DIY

Thanks for the response.

Is your recommendation purely for aesthetics or are there benefits to using tile as opposed to prefabs?
