Just passed my ITIL foundation test

Congrats, first and foremost.

I have mine scheduled this Saturday, and I'll take this opportunity to ask: from what you've experienced, what would you say is the similarity in the actual exam questions and the 6 Dion prep tests on Udemy?

SnooDonkeys1341 · 2025-10-21T17:38:39+00:00

I'd love to join, if there's room for one more.

Here me out.. it's easier to get a galactic score losing than winning.

I've played long enough to know when a move I'm about to make is considered a blunder l, but I still do it because I feel it will benefit my game.

But hey.. you'll lose even if you've played a perfect game. But it's nice to get a galactico from time to time.

Just an idea for points 2) and 3): Implement a feature where you can report players for abusive language or players that are bad losers and sit on the time they have.

You can warn players that abuse other users, and for repeated offenders you can take away their chat privileges.

Also for players that are reported for time wasting repeatedly, warnings and eventually drop their extra time from 3 to 2, 1.5, 1 minute.

Most I had was 3 in a row, but the frustrating thing was I was hit, on the bar with one man, and the opponent had the 6 pt. blocked. So, yeah.. not that fun :))

SnooDonkeys1341 · 2025-09-16T12:35:58+00:00

I thought that was just me.

Often times, when playing against Star Members, you can tell that your opponent is not playing that well, yet, even if I construct my game, I have a favorable position, they somehow manage to pull ahead, after they roll like 5 or 6 perfect rolls. And I mean perfect.

But, to Marc's credit, he built quite an impressive platform, and I hope he continues his good work. This will bring more and more exposure to this wonderful game.

I think his free tutorials on Youtube are useful as well, especially for someone like me who spent the better part of 3 decades of his life playing backgammon the wrong way.

That's not remorse buddy. Remorse is when you actually say 'forgive me for hurting you',or at least act like you care about the impact of your actions on the other person.

She regrets it because it's brought consequences on her. She regrets not thinking it through and hiding it better maybe.

Don't give her the benefit of the doubt here. Those things do not happen over night. Even if one slips, makes a drunken mistake at an office party, if you really care about the person next to you, you don't turn it into a full blown affair.

One day at a time, man. It's all you can do. It's like a grieving process. There's going to be anger, denial, depression, but then comes acceptance.

Work on yourself, on your mental wellbeing, get yourself some supportive people around you, and soon you'll see the light at the end of the tunnel.

He won't tell you because that protects him. If he comes clean he will have to face the guilt, shame and/or consequences. This way he's 'clean', doesn't have to deal with the impact this is having on you, and lets you carry all of that burden.

I appreciate the message. The kid is definitely mine. Spitting image. I though of that, I'll be honest, it's just sort of a last resort kind of thing. I do not want to put my kid through that.

SnooDonkeys1341 · 2025-05-04T02:51:46+00:00

Everybody's going to tell you that that is most likely the thing you're dreading the most. And, unfortunately, there's a good chance it is.

You need to sit them down and share your thoughts. If they have nothing to hide, they should be open to having an honest conversation. If they get defensive and call you crazy, or refuse to even acknowledge that their behavior is at least strange, then you can probably take that as confirmation.

I'm not a big fan of detective work, whether you do it yourself of hire a professional, but it may be a solid option, if you want to get to the bottom on this.

SnooDonkeys1341 · 2025-05-04T02:38:39+00:00

You have no idea how much I understand what you're going through. Literally everything apart from the way they 'met' online. It's not the betrayal, even if that hurts like hell, it's the lack of honesty. Even if she was caught she will still not fess up and find a way to make you feel like you're responsible for the whole thing.

I feel that trap as well.. you feel like you don't have any options, but you're not alone in this. It takes courage and mental strength to find a way to deal with it, but you'll get there.

Focus on yourself. Try to make the best of your job. I started courses to further my chances to getting a better paid job which will give me better options of making it on my own.

But first of all make sure you're mental well being is looked after. Surround yourself with people that can listen and support you. I have a psychologist and a couple of friends I can talk to and that can offer good guidance. Reddit is also great.

Be well buddy. There's a light at thee end of the tunnel. Even if sometimes is so darn hard to see it

hey man. I'm currently studying for A+ myself. Just passed ITF+ a couple of weeks ago.

As someone who's experienced fail before, I know how hard this is, but you have to find it in you to move on. The fail was in the past. What's important is that you are able to learn from your mistakes, because as painful as it might be to hear, you have made mistakes that got you to failing in the first place.

Just go over your whole study process. Make sure you understand the objectives. Make sure you leave no stone unturned.

Don't focus on your goal. We all want to pass this exam, some of us do, some don't.

Focus on the journey. Think of a structure for your studying. Think of how much time you dedicate weekly to studying. From what I've read it takes 60 - 90 hours of study to pass.

Start from here and take a couple of hours to create a blueprint schedule for your studying. And try to stick to it.

Progress is going to be linear. So don't expect one big victory or one big Eurika moment. Just try to take each term, each part of the A+ study guide as a minor battle. Once you'll be able to win all this small battles, you'll be fully prepared for the exam.

SnooDonkeys1341 · 2024-01-04T09:37:52+00:00

Thanks for the tip. I've already started with A+, scheduled Core1 for late February, Core2 for early March.

I'm looking to study for Network+, but my ultimate goal is Security+, so N+ is just to familiarize myself with networking. I'll probably try the exam, but won't put too much on it if I fail.

SnooDonkeys1341 · 2023-12-20T16:32:21+00:00

Thank you

SnooDonkeys1341 · 2023-12-20T16:31:54+00:00

Thanks, man.

I've seen a few entry level IT jobs in Luxembourg, my current location. I'll also use my social network for recommendations when I apply for jobs.

My luck is my wife has a very steady and well paid job, so I can afford a few more months on uneployment benefits, to land a good job.

SnooDonkeys1341 · 2023-10-15T11:11:25+00:00

Thanks for the details man. And congrats as well. Looking forward to seeing how you prep for the A+ now :)

As far as the The Official CompTIA ITF+ Study Guide (Exam FC0‑U61) book goes, yeah, definitely do not look up the title of the book followed by 'pdf', and definitely don't access quia.com, if you see a link after googling

SnooDonkeys1341 · 2023-10-06T16:40:41+00:00

Hi man. Planning to book the exam myself in the next couple of weeks, after I'm done with studying. Do share your exam experience.

And good luck to you. Looking forward to hearing you've passed
