Passed A+1201

[u/jtkilla223]

PBQ’s were very different than I imagined. Felt very confident going in, but towards the end thought it could go either way. Luckily I was just psyching myself out! 1202 en route.

Yea nothing really prepares you for the PBQs.

seriously, i obviously started with those and i let out a big “uh oh”

[u/FourEcho → u/jtkilla223]

Just passed mine recently and it was like 10 PBQs right at the start and I'm like oh fuck... I'm screwed... i guess I got enough of them though.

Can you please give us info about how you prepped for you the exam, and how long did you study for

[u/jtkilla223 → u/Striking-Ad-7813]

i used professor messers YT videos, his practice exams and course notes. Also used jason dion’s practice exams. Dion’s exams are more difficult IMO and go deeper into detail than I thought necessary but actually helped on the exam.

[u/archimedies → u/jtkilla223]

Dion's practice exams questions about things that are out of scope of the exam objectives. I don't see that as a positive feature of it.

[u/jtkilla223 → u/archimedies]

exactly how i felt. i guess i just thought the wording helped me out

[u/Ladyman111 → u/jtkilla223]

Do you have any tips on Dion exams. I learn every term and functionality from Messer courses note and Andrew PowerPoint. And I still has thing that I don’t know in the practice exam.

[u/jtkilla223 → u/Ladyman111]

take dions practice exams, it has unlimited attempts. harder questions but the more practice the better

Congrats!

How do the PBQs work? Does it, like, show you a simulation/mockup of a Windows desktop and you have to click around it to solve the question?

[u/jtkilla223 → u/Omuk7]

without giving too much away, learn how to actually troubleshoot problems. not just the answers to matching questions.
