220-902 Attempt

bluewarlord8

Greetings Folks,

Me again... long story short - failed the 902 today, I was just shy of some, 82 points to meet the min (which is 700 points).

Moving on, I am going to invest my time in revising for the 902 - going over the concepts I failed to answer correctly then re-take the exam within 24 hours while the overall content is still fresh in the mind.

I laughed at the 'Fail' on my result sheet and more so on the objectives that I failed on as I understand the concepts.. Maybe it was my nerves; I was shaking a lot, lol.

Anyway, I will not accept the defeat. I will win the war tomorrow. hahaha! *evil laugh*

I have heard the A+ has gotten much more difficult over the years; throwing objectives from the other exams as well (Network+, Security+, etc). I took a practice exam for the 902 a little over a year ago, and I barely passed, and I was teaching the class! LOL

Never give up though. I have failed my share of tests. I failed the A+ the first time I took it back in the late 90's, but passed the following month after a little studying.

Look at it this way yo, you know what to expect next time! And at least you "failed forward" ya know.

Haha thanks for the replies guys. They give me hope. @PCTechLinc Yes, CompTIA throw in a lot of unrelated questions from Net/Sec +. I have also experienced the increase in simulations; I encountered approx 3/4 during my exam today.

But I will pass tomorrow; I know it.

Once again thanks for replying guys.

Good job bud! Going for the Net+ next, or something else?

Thanks @clarson.

I’m going to be taught Windows Active Directoy stuff at school.. so might make use of the time and study/take the windows AD exams.. (I believe there are 3 exams in total). Or study for ICND1.. if ICND1 covers most or the majority of the Net+ exam. I’ll do the net+ too so it looks good on my resumé.

TAKE YOUR TIME with Windows exams. It took me multiple attempts on each when I took the Server 2008 exams (70-640, 642 and 646). I've heard they've only gotten harder, with more focus on Powershell. I plan on upgrading to Server 2016 with the bridge exam, but I'm going to get CISSP-ISSEP and CCNP Routing & Switching out of the way first... maybe have to push until Server 2019.

I'm taking the 220-902 this coming Tuesday, and I'm planning on taking the ICND1 in August. What simulations should I expect from the exam? Are they similar to exam-labs?
