    Wow. A lot of people have been taking this recently.

    That's a rough score. You probably only missed it by one question. It seems like you'll be fine after a little review. I hated all the regulations and standards that were thrown at you; I really wasn't expecting to have to memorize all of that.

    As far as security goes, do you remember getting many questions about it? I think I only got a few. It seems like they were saving all those types of questions for the CWSP. You probably only missed two out of three or something, so don't beat yourself up over that.

    The chances of passing any cert exam on the second try is very good, so research those two domains well and you'll pass the next time for sure.

    icon_eek.gif Okay that was a coincidence! The ad on the bottom of the screen was for the Get Smart TV series!

    Truth to tell I blank on exam questions once I leave the room. I know the last 5 or 6 questions of the exam were on site surveys.

    I knew I should have left the reschedule where it was and read more.

    OH WELL!!

    I did the worst on the 802.11 standards section when I took it as well, but I made 100% on the security section, so I really got bailed out there. Best of luck on your second try; You should do fine. Let me know if you need help preparing.

    Focus on your weak points for the next time!

    I failed twice (by about 4% each time) because I didn't focus on my weak points, I just ploughed through the books again, start to finish.

    Best of luck to ya.

    And remember, focus on you weak points!

    Thanks for the advise all.

    I am currently reading through the relevant NIST papers and going over the 4th edition.

    Would you believe. . . that you'll pass the second time around? icon_lol.gif
    Sorry to hear that you didn't nail it. Study up on your weak areas, and I'm sure you'll knock it out of the park.
