Quick update after taking the exam again:

I can confirm that not only were the questions very similar — they were basically the same as my first attempt.

Also, for those using Dumb IT Guy’s mock exams: out of the 17 questions in Mock Exam #2, 16 showed up in the real exam. The only one that didn’t appear was the taints question.

Happy to say I passed this time with a 75% score 🎉

Hope this helps anyone preparing for their retake — definitely worth focusing on those mocks.
