This is the 2nd of the 3 CCST Certifications I studied and pass.
This is an interesting study as this was remind me of CompTA Network+ in 2010 where I was doing the 2005 version of Network+ (N10-003) as when I booked the exam the N10-003 was required and booked the 2009 version instead (N10-004) which I failed because there was very new stuff included IP6 and security side. Then resort to restudy again because of new technology. After the 5th attempt, I manage to pass. The best part was I was lucky because if I failed the 5th time I have to wait another year to resit and also CompTIA introduce the 3 year certification renewal so I got this CompTIA Network+ Certificate before 2011 or else Network+ will be under CE version (Continuing Education).
Now today, I am doing another Network exam, 14 years later. This time the Cisco Round.
There are lots to learn and throughout the years of Networking, a lot of things changed such as IP6, security and the cloud are in the picture.
I use Udemy for study and G-Metrix for practice test.
I spend 2 weeks to study the practice test before the exam.
On the exam, the exam covers network switch, screenshot of the command use in Cisco, understanding Address, Subnets, Diagnosis and the Concepts.
The subject itself is more Cisco based version of CompTIA Network+.
On the exam results, I though I fail because I did not get most questions correct, however I got a good score because of the partial credits accumulate the score which I did not see coming.
At the end I did pass the exam because of partial credit score.
It was a hard and shocking pass, but at the end of the day, 'Pass is a Pass'.
