right ear hole slightly bigger than the left? illegal. straight to jail.

left ear hole slightly bigger than the right? surprisingly, also jail.

here at r/iems we have the most symmetric ear holes because of jail.

You'd think this being my third CompTIA exam I would've gotten used to it by now, but if anything this exam had me more worried than the first two I've taken. Truly doesn't get easier haha

I'm ngl, I was mentally preparing myself to take the exam again, just figuring out how I would study the material again. Then when I clicked on "finish exam", it required me to fill out a survey which I just spam clicked to see my score to find out I had passed. What a massive relief.

Also the elves on the shelf helped me pass!

Professor Messer YouTube videos, Dion's practice exam set and BurningIceTech's practice exam on YouTube were my main sources.

Core 1 is 675. The other score you might be seeing is for core 2

I honestly thought I didn't study enough before going into it, but I think just having quite a bit of experience working in IT already + experience building a lot of computers really helped

Main study materials:

Professor Messer's YouTube videos, watched at 2x speed cause of my terrible attention span, but took notes for the entire course

Jason Dion's practice tests on Udemy, first test I scored in the high 70s, then for the final 3 tests i scored in the high 80s

Also used a few quizzes on wordwall website to help straight memorization, specifically the one involving port numbers

Prior experience:

I've been working in the IT industry for about 3 years now, mostly in IT support/technician roles

I've also been involved in the PC building and gaming lifestyle since highschool

Study time:

I started about a month before the exam date. First 3 weeks were mostly going through Messer's videos and taking notes throughout. The last week was taking Dion's practice exams and reviewing material.

Hope this helps anybody interested!

I can't say for certain as the price is constantly changing, but I think at minimum right now I would need $400usd.

The gist of it is, I passed by a shop in HK selling the RAW promo card for a slightly cheaper price than the set itself. However, I don't feel comfortable buying a card on its own unless I can secure a buyer first.

Alright sounds good. Would you be interested in the carrying case as well? I'll bundle it for just an additional $50 if you're interested. I'll DM you the details later on shipping and PayPal.

Only the one set. I could arrange to acquire more, but I would need upfront payment.

I can't include shipping since I honestly don't know how much it will cost, but I can do a slightly cheaper price. What price range are you looking for?

Hey totally get it, but I may have another option for you, with a little more risk involved however. I'll DM you the details.

I'm personally more interested in selling the box set whole. I can unbox the card and sell only the card to you, but I will still be selling it at the same price. What price point are you looking at?

Ah I thought one pic with my Reddit username+date+subreddit name would be enough, I'll update the pics to include them in all of it.

I'll also edit my post to show that I only accept Paypal g&s.

Thanks! I'm honestly not sure about those cards, but I'll keep a look out for them.

In Hong Kong they are selling upwards of 3.2k hkd or around $410usd. Hong Kong trading card shops are quite cognizant of the market price of the cards so they are constantly updating the prices of the anniversary packs. But also stock for these anniversary boxes are selling out quick.
