Fayz

Take this exam on the 27th and not really prepared at all. But I'll give it my best.

Not sure I agree with their recommended experience. I've got 10+ years of hands-on networking experience but a networking skill set alone is not enough to pass that beta, at least based on the questions I received. But I digress and I'm not above failure... just throwing my feedback in here since others were discussing it.

I dno't believe that experience level is expected to give you the knowledge to pass the test. Instead, that's the recommended experience required to be able to study and understand the objectives that the test is on. You'll notice that the experience makes no specific mention of public or private cloud experience, which of course is what the test is on.

Skipped the 5 simulations. The test was a beast. Pretty sure I did not pass, but onto other certs. The time allotted was not enough for sure.

When do we find out the results of the Cloud+ beta exam?

Keep logging into your CompTIA profile, it will post there AND you will get something in the mail...Probably won't be until Jan or Feb before we know if you passed or failed.

Has anyone received their score yet? Just curious.

shochan

Not I...I have been checking on CompTIA every so often to see if it shows my results.

Nothing yet. It's only been about 3 weeks since the Cut Score workshop, and one of those was thanksgiving week. I don't really expect to hear anything until early next year, though I'd be happy to be wrong.

When I took the CSA+ beta in late Summer - and I think the beta test-taking ended shortly thereafter - I think it was easily late December or early January before I was notified. So, if this beta ran until October, seems it will likely be in the first couple months of 2018.

I could have sworn I read (sometime back during the beginning of beta) that they would provide scores in December. I just need to be more patient and forget about this until I receive an email.

ThePawofRizzo

Ha! I was also impatient on the CSA+ beta. It seems such a long time.

joelsfood

Anyone get a pass notification yet? Haven't seen anything here.

Fayz

Haven't gotten anything at all.

Same here, I check about once a week on certmetrtics, nothing so far..

asiru77

normally Computia send email regarding that so no need to reconfirm again and again

You're certainly correct as I'm going to be proof of that... I know I bombed it. That said, I think CompTIA is suspect for how they marketed it via email:

Recommended experience level for Cloud+ beta exam takers:

CompTIA Network+ or Server+ or equivalent knowledge
Minimum of 2-3 years of hands on experience in a networking, storage or IT data center environment

So yeah, got my score report back today.

I passed. I laughed for a solid 2-3 minutes.

Haha awesome! Congrats on the pass.

I see the certification in my CompTIA certification portal, however I don't know how to download and view my score for the cert.

I passed with 753. Passing score was 750. (Wow!)
