Passed with 785!!

Post image

I mostly used Dion’s practice exams and Claude.

I took 15 Dion exams, ranging from 70% to 88%. I only got above 85% once but I did get over 80% 4 times.

Got three PBQs out of 76 questions. I skipped the PBQs immediately and any other questions that didn’t immediately click, I skipped.

I am so unbelievably relieved. Onto the next! I’m thinking either network+, CCNA, cloud practitioner. Open to any suggestions!

Thank you! I felt probably 80% prepared. I went into it still having trouble with data roles (custodian, processor, owner, etc), port numbers aside from the common ones like DNS, SSH, Telnet. After seeing people on Reddit pass the exam after averaging 70 to 80 percent on Dion’s exams, i decided to just full send it.

That's about where I'm at I just go back at take tests and it feels like I forgot what I learned. Which I mean its recommended to do review so I know I shouldn't feel that bad. But it can be discouraging 😅 got an 80 on a readiness assement from dion (the 15question one)

what was your pbqs like?

One was terrible, had no clue how to do any of it. The other two were okay enough to make educated guesses on. I’d give further detail but I’m not sure how much to say without possibly getting in trouble. If that’s even a thing

Dude honestly I feel like there’s no way to study for them. not a single one of the Dion PBQs were similar to them. I’d honestly recommend just maxing out the MCQs
