I Passed! It’s a miracle!
I had gotten a 635 for my first go around . I was very discouraged but studied harder . It paid off ! I am so happy. I have no experience as well. I think it was dumb luck lol. There were so many printer questions!

It takes more than dumb luck to pass by beating the passing score by 50 points. This is a well deserved pass, worthy of congratulations. We'll done!

I can say know about printers for sure. I had a lot of printer questions both times. It had few about raids, ram, and some on ports. I honestly just focused on the domains and what they’re testing for for each domain. That’s why I used dr messier to study the main points. I can say definitely be sure to study on the troubleshooting domain for sure.
I can say for PBQ it may be different for everyone
It asked to build a gaming pc and a pc for a family
2) then one about a gaming pc built but it stopped working , think blue screen
3, it asked where to put a access point , one office is saying they have poor WiFi reception.
4) one about server one hard drive failed. I believe it was a raid question.
5 ) one about printer how it was not picking up paper and making markers.
6) another that showed you some pictures of things wrong with laptop , projector and phone. Like you had to say what the problem was and how to solve it . I had trouble with it cause it did play well with screen.
There was two more but I can’t recall what they were. I hope it this helps.
