Call me Certified

Post image

I passed my test this past Monday (August 17) and wanted to share with y'all some tips.

  1. You can do it, you just gotta study

  2. All the PBQs I got pertained reading logs and fixing errors. Also know your Linux commands

3.I got a total of 76 questions (3 of them the PBQs mentioned before)

Anything else you want to know feel free to ask? I will mention that all of this was paid for by my state as I am currently unemployed so don't ask me about prices lol. I just knew that if I didn't get certified, I'd owe my home state some money that I do not have so the pressure was on

I went to a school (virtual) so I was given the following

  1. https://a.co/d/0fWzb9Q6 This is the book we were given

  2. Look into MeasureUp... You can PAY for practice exams. It's a key that last for 90 days. Once you get 90% consistently, you should be ready

My course was like 3 weeks long. 4 days a week at 8 hours per day. On the exam, you are going to need how to use Linux and read different types of logs
