Sooo nearly five years after i took my first networking class, I've finally got around to actually getting certified. I'm a little embarrassed that it took so long, but at the same time I've never felt as confident in my knowledge/skills or as serious about this as I do now.
Anyway, on to the goods: 937/100! Mind = Blown! Had 15 minutes left, too.
Describe the operation of data networks - 100%
Implement a small switched network - 100%
Implement an IP addressing scheme and IP services to meet network requirements for a small office branch - 80%
Implement a small routed network - 80%
Explain and select the appropriate administrative tasks for a WLAN - 100%
Identify security threats to a network and describe general methods to mitigate those threats - 100%
Implement and Verify WAN links - 100%
Overall the test was quite easy I though; there were several questions that were very tricky - it seemed like there could be more than one right answer (in non multiple choices.) In some cases, there were answers that seemed to be out of the scope of this exam (IMO) that
could've been right. Anyone else experience this?
Also, There was a simlet where different show commands had different status for an interface (ie show ip int brief said Up/Up; show ip int showed administratively down, and show interface was different all together.) Weird. Pretty sure this was an error.
^^ Is that too specific/in violation of the confidentiality agreement?
Oh, and as a bonus this is my first course @ WGU, so i also earned college credit today
