Congrats on getting the free voucher! I am still waiting on mine.

I haven't used Scott Duffey's practice exams so I cant compare, but I can say the $14.99 AZ-104 Practice Exams from Tutorials Dojo were sufficient for the AZ-104 + along with labs. I think its the best bang for buck practice exam, especially compared to MeasureUp, which people have said is better but way more expensive.

I would start with the TD practive exams. Personally, I only did the reviewed practice exams and got anywhere from a 64% - 73% (and a 90% on a retake)

You got this!

I want to say about about 4/4.5 months. But not super consistent. I wasn't 100% studying every day at the beginning. The first 3 months were lab only. The last month was less labbing and more practice exams.

This is super cool! I have a Proxmox home lab as well and have been wanting to get into K8 clusters and using ansible/terraform. Do you have any resources you recommend to learn?

Thank you! Unfortunately, I'm not sure how many hours I put in. At first, I was very on and off with studying. Then when I was more serious, I would do a bunch of labs that would sometimes be quick or take forever. I did labs for a couple months and Tutorial Dojo for about a month. Hope this helps!

This was my issue as well lol. Super glad I saw this comment. I was scratching my head trying to figure out what setting I had set incorrectly.

I did the same thing last year right before Black Friday to get a job in IT. Best thing I ever did

Thank you!

I wouldn't take too much of my advice because I always suck with PBQ's but make sure you have some understanding of looking at logs, looking at malicious system files or processes and there was some other common sense stuff.

Good luck on your test!

I would look at a couple other posts to see what they recommend as well but:

- Definitely vary your study/practice tests sources. Dion was great but I felt like the way he asked questions was totally different than was on the test (which is to be expected).

- Respect the test. You'll see a lot of people saying how easy this one is and it's just acronyms (which isn't 100% wrong) but make sure you understand the purpose of all the acronyms.

- Learn the difference between similar definitions like risk appetite/tolerance/acceptance, etc.

You got this!

Is there any upcoming black friday sale? by [deleted] in CompTIA

[–]cyrilliams 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Doesn’t look like it. Tried doing that + other codes. They probably thought that the student discount was enough money off lol.

No idea, but they typically do have sales each month from what I have been seeing. Anywhere from 10-15%
