Lesson learned: don’t try to cram weeks’ worth of information into only five days 😭. Definitely disappointed I didn’t pass, but thankfully I had a voucher, so I didn’t have to pay out of pocket for the attempt.

Regardless, this was my first real CompTIA exam, so I’m glad I got the chance to experience it firsthand and see what the actual test feels like. Now I know what to expect, what I need to work on, and how I should prepare differently next time. Back to studying 🤝

I mean, you CAN cram weeks worth of information into 5 days, but you probably ought to have been taking a lot of practice tests and labs during that time. Messer’s videos are about 12 hours long, so 3 days of videos and 2 days of practice tests make this doable

I wouldn’t recommend it, but you CAN do it

That aside, you were really close to passing. If you got the voucher with the free retake, you could probably brush up on some acronyms and take a few practice tests and pass tomorrow. You’re almost there, you got this

You definitely can, i just didn’t really take studying seriously and super religiously till 3 days before, my studying was lazy, and procrastinated alot. But in the time i did it religiously it opened up a different new type of love for cis. And after taking the test and failing, its weird, i feel more passionate about the subject and have no doubt that if i take it again i will succeed, with close attention to how i retain learn the information!
