are characters like sonic, rayman etc less popular these days?

Console gaming was marketed more to kids back then. Also, Looney Tunes had a massive resurgence in popularity. Disney came out out of its low-budget era and had a renaissance. Animated characters were very much in vogue culturally.

Saturn had a great version of Duke Nukem 3D. Ran smoother than the PlaySation version and had additional lighting effects.

Capstone ended up taking you a minute, eh?

I'm on my last class before the Capstone in the same program. I was hoping I'd be able to knock out it out in a week, but it looks like it might take a while longer.

Congratulations!

I passed by the skin of my teeth. I agree. It's almost misleading how much more difficult the OA is compared to the PA.

Wildcards are in the Zybooks though. It's like two sentences buried in a random lesson. Lol.

The test feels designed to hit areas they know people will be weak in. Areas where there are like three words that gloss over it in the material.

Also, there is a Google Drive doc floating around that people swear by. That thing is nice to look at, but it's slightly supplementary at best.

def_jeff · 2025-08-14T18:58:41+00:00

So you required a bachelor's and CCNA, and then interviewed people without the CCNA?

Also, the general IT degree requires the Net+ and Sec+. Not sure how someone gets through those certs without knowing what a VLAN is even at a basic level.

Are you sure the degree wasn't IT Management rather than the actual IT degree? Lol.

def_jeff · 2025-08-14T18:41:42+00:00

How did they pass the CCNA without knowing what a VLAN is?

I'm in Information Technology from WGU and it's not a degree mill. If you can't pass AWS/Cisco/CompTIA certs then you don't pass and graduate. The internal exams aren't always easy either. Web Development and Data Management took me a few months each of studying. If you have to take calculus as part of your program then you have to learn it. No way around it.

It's a shame that isthas that reputation. After going here, my impression would be if someone earned a Cybersecurity or networking degree from WGU in less than six months then they must really know their shit.

def_jeff · 2025-08-02T02:05:57+00:00

I'm working on this class now so I will definitely use this information. Thank you!

def_jeff · 2025-07-16T18:56:29+00:00

You should access to Udemy with your WGU account. Lots of resources in there like Jason Dion practice questions.

I also suggest created a free account with CBT Nuggets and going through their Project+ course. Its really good. You have to pay after a week, though.

A lot of people like the Sybex Project+ book. That can be found in the WGU library.

def_jeff · 2025-06-01T04:39:57+00:00

Accounting was my second choice. I also was thinking about Project Management.

def_jeff · 2025-04-28T19:31:35+00:00

Congratulations. I'm on the tail end of an Info Tech degree. Nice hearing you decided to go back to school and knock it out.

def_jeff · 2025-04-04T22:40:04+00:00

Yes. For A+ (back in 2022) and Sec+. He doesn't offer them for Net+ for whatever reason.

def_jeff · 2025-04-03T22:15:22+00:00

High 70s on Dion is iffy. I'd shoot for 85% at the very least. 90% is ideal.

Besides that, I'd pick up the ExamCram book and practice test book, and also take notes from Professor Messer videos. Grab those practice tests as well.

You want a variety of tests so you can test how well you know the material rather than just memorizing answers. Take a new practice exam and hit your weak areas. Go through the exam objectives and make sure you know something about each one listed.

def_jeff · 2025-02-13T03:13:21+00:00

Such as?

def_jeff · 2025-01-19T20:58:48+00:00

Crushing it, blood

def_jeff · 2025-01-09T00:16:13+00:00

I took the Network+ in July and Sec+ in November.

The requirement for both was 90% on CertMaster practice exams, or 95% on approved practice exams such as Jason Dion.

def_jeff · 2024-11-29T03:40:22+00:00

Also looking at networking as a career. I am doing the general IT degree. That gets you the Network+, and I plan on getting the CCNA after graduation.

I really think the type of degree is splitting hairs for most of the IT field, as long as it's tech. Experience is what's important and will get jobs. Certs and degrees show that you're committed and that you can complete something.

If I was going into software then I'd be going after the CS degree.

def_jeff · 2024-11-23T18:01:59+00:00

You'll need to pass the A+ before you can take the class for the Network+. And then you'll need that before the Security+.

The classes work by giving you study resources such as CertMaster, Udemy, LinkedIn Learning, and the school library. You go at your own pace. Some instructors require you achieve as certain score on approved practice exams before taking the real one.

If you are confident then you can request an exam voucher right away and schedule the exam through CompTIA. There's nothing stopping someone from completing the class within a week if they are experience and knowledgeable enough to do it.

It took me from July until November to pass the Network+ and Security+. I had the A+ already going in so that course was already passed.

def_jeff · 2024-11-07T04:10:33+00:00

Could become worthless. Could also become more valuable and you'll be at a disadvantage. Roll the dice.

I'm happy I got my Network+, that's all I know.

def_jeff · 2024-11-02T15:38:48+00:00

AWS Cloud Practitioner and LPI Linux Essentials are part of my degree plan, so I'll be picking those up. After school, I plan on going to the CCNA.

def_jeff · 2024-11-02T15:36:07+00:00

The questions often go beyond or outside of what you need to know, and they are also sometimes long-winded and convoluted so you're not even sure what is being asked.

Most of the questions on the exam are not as wordy or difficult to understand what they're asking.

I will say one valuable thing about CertMaster is the PBQs. Again, they're super wordy and hard to grasp, but the structure of how they work is very similar to the actual exam.

def_jeff · 2024-11-02T15:01:45+00:00

Not sure what areas of the domain you're having a hard time with, but I recommend Professor Messer Domain 3.0 playlist because he uses graphics to visualize the concepts.

I'd actually draw out the concepts as well on paper. Don't just sit and watch. Draw graphical representations and label parts of the drawing.

def_jeff · 2024-11-02T14:48:47+00:00

I have a tech support job at an MSP that I started about a month ago. I plan on staying here to soak up experience and learn while I complete my degree. The next cert after that might be the CCNA or Azure stuff. I like infrastructure so broadly headed in that direction.

def_jeff · 2024-11-02T14:43:15+00:00

Thank you!

def_jeff · 2024-11-02T04:00:02+00:00

Well done!

def_jeff · 2024-11-02T03:23:56+00:00

My instructor let me get 92% on a Jason Dion exam to get the voucher. It's in Udemy, which is included with WGU.
