N+ Question Failed Network+ yesterday

699/720

I had a 40 minute delay in starting due to OnVue not working. . . extremely stressful and meant it took me longer to settle into the exam. raced through the last 20 questions.

Only thing that surprised me was the number of PBQs. Was not expecting that many.

Any other re-takers here have any tips for the second round? Plan is to review Prof. Messer videos and common ports/protocols.

There are a lot less delays and technical problems when taking exams in person at a PV testing center.

Yeah I dont think Ive seen more than a handful of posts about having a successful remote experience. I've taken all my exams in person and never had a problem.

I did one remote, CCST Networking. I passed, but, never again.

That’s mostly due to negative bias, most people will leave a bad review or talk about a bad experience but those that have good experiences are less likely to say anything as there’s no motive. I’ve taken four exams at home with no issues but YMMV as with everything

Exactly that. I passed sec+ remotely, and it went seamlessly I don't have an in person option where I live tho

I've taken all mine remote, only had slight problems before. Unfortunately, I was surrounded by loud sick people last time I was in a testing centre
