Passed the Net+

(trying to write more, little things, just so i do it more. here's one)

I made a bet with my coworker at the beginning of this May. We'd both take the CompTIA Net+, and if we fail, we have to pay for the other's test. So if I passed and he failed, I got my test for free and he was out nearly $800.

I proposed this to him because he'd been studying for maybe half a year and wasn't taking the bloody thing. Originally it was just going to be him, but there wasn't a lot in it for me, so I decided to take it, too.

He did not take the test in May, but it seems like he would've upheld his end of the little bargain. However, I gave him another month. His test is scheduled to take place in four days and I think he'll kill it.

I took it on the 30th of May and passed with an 817. It wasn't as hard as it may seem. When you're studying or reading a cram guide, or whatever, it's intimidating. There's a lot of stuff! It is, however, multiple choice, so if you have okay recall you'll probably be good! They do try to getcha, though.

Asking for the secure LDAP port only to list both the secure and insecure port, for example. The secure one is higher, remember! For sure for LDAPS but also as a safe pattern it seems.

I had more performance based questions than average, I think, but I consider that a boon. I did them at the start of the test (where they appear), and I think it helped get me in the mindset.

Well that's all. I'll update this post with how he did after he does. I'm guessing high 800's. Goodluck!

Update as of June 12th:
He passed with an 841 proving that studying does indeed have an impact on the results, hah. Good work, dude, I'm proud of you.
