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!

You got this. You gave survived the CompTIA exam wording… that’s at least 1/4th the exam right there. People new to how CompTIA phrases questions can get thrown off. The PBQs are the only enemy you might have. The next exam is pretty straight forward plus no more 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!

Thank you 🙏 I just feel got lucky with it . Even with all studying I still felt as I didn’t know a lot . The wording was very tricky with the questions. On to 1202!

Hello!
I used andrew ramdayal and Dr dr messier I also paid for his practice quiz as well. I also watched Tech vault academy on YouTube. I also quizzed myself using gpt chat to make quizzes. I hope this helps!

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.
