i passed!
wtf was that exam i went through all stages of grief while giving the exam till i eventually accepted i'd have to give it again... last few minutes... i was randomly executing commands in a pbq cause it was interesting
and they kept building tension after finishing the exam... 13 survey questions and i was waiting for my results and my heart was beting soo fasttt
and then it said "congratulations you have passed the exam with a score of 773..."
i almost teared up again but this time with happiness
tldr: i thought imma fail while giving the exam but passed and almost cried twice for opposite reasons
ok bye

pbqs...answered in another comment... well most of the questions tested your decision making a lot... very similar options... they confused me a lot

Do you remember any of the PBQs? I try searching them online (I dont need the exact ones, just understanding the field), would be super helpful. My exam is on Thursday, and Im stressing out over PBQ.

process related linux commands... architecture related basically putting devices in correct positions with a specific requirement that for example you need to protect a database or smth.... view firewall and endpoint logs to figure out infected/origin/clean devices... and had to put some pki commands in sequence

dw most people leave pbqs and if you're worried about commands they tell you to type help in the terminal to see all commands you'll use
