Hi @Stephen Schneiter, Thank you! I registered and attended the first sessions on demand. May I have the CertMaster Learn access for the sessions?

Hello @JonathanIsley, I can confirm ON24 recorded your attendance for session 1. It looks like you actually registered with two accounts and viewed. You should have already received and email with instructions and access code for CertMaster Perform to both email addresses.

Thanks, Stephen, for checking for me.

Yes, I had registered twice (once with a new email address and my older one in error), so I thought that was related to the issue, so I watched session 1 twice.
Once I saw that the session was asking for my email, I reverted to only the primary email address I desired to use, using only it to watch session 2.

I did receive my CertMaster access code to one of my registered email addresses, so I am good to go for that (though I did not receive it at both, just FYI, but I do not need a 2nd code

)

Thanks again, everyone, for your replies

I see... That's what I did.

Jill West · Friday at 2:27 PM

Congrats! What did you think about the exam?

Jill West · Friday at 2:19 PM

I mean... carrying around a big, smart brain takes some heavy lifting.

Congrats on passing! What did you think of the exam?

Isnt that the same pdf you got printed when you finished the exam?

Yes, if you do an exam in an exam centre, not at home using OnVUE

Has anyone ever posted a youtube video for your students on how to navigate a CompTIA lab and receive a notice it was removed due to copyright violation?

I have! And it was removed. I also posted other videos how to do some other activities instead of explaining over and over to my students. Video was removed. I do have other videos that have not been removed

I found them thanks to some instructions I found on Dion Training (Jason Dion);
"To access your CompTIA A+ score report, log into your CompTIA Login dashboard. On the right-hand menu, select Schedule and Manage Exams, and proceed to your Pearson VUE portal. Under the My Account section, click View Score Reports to download your PDF"

Isnt that the same pdf you got printed when you finished the exam?

Thanks for the heads up. I forwarded the email that went out to everyone for the CySA+ content instructions to @janchester27, @shiftry, @Larry Moseley, and @ign.yoe. Sould be in your inbox

Thanks @Stephen Schneiter! I received the code for CySA+! Did you have a chance to review the one for SecAI+?

Generally speaking, on all CompTIA exams that have PBQs, save them until the end. Do all the multiple-choice questions first.

The only exception is the SecurityX exam, which has a single question in a virtual machine environment. You can't skip it. If you do, you can not return to it later.

Yeah this one (SecurityX) threw me through a loop because it was in the middle of the multiple choice section for me.

I had the normal PBQs first, then like 12 MC, then the Virtual Machine Lab, and then more MC. Was not expecting that and it threw me off a bit.

If you have the pdf completion certificates and do not get the voucher (which will be some time after completion, it is not always quick) DM @Stephen Schneiter on here and let him know. Much better than creating a post about it IMO. He is a great help with things like this.

Awesome. Thanks for the replies and advice Bruce. I appreciate it

I hope you and all the CIN community have a great rest of your week and weekend ahead.

Thanks, Bruce and Tess for your replies and thoughts.

Tess, in this case I completed the full session on Device A (my mobile), then opened the same session at a later time on Device B (my laptop).

Bruce, yes, I was thinking some sort of cookie thing. I appreciate your disection of the situation and offer to test.

Ironically, today, when I performed the same steps, it is now prompting me for an email address for the AutoOps+ sessions, similar to the experience I found with the CySA+ sessions. Due to this I was able to download the completion certificate on my laptop. Bruce, I think you got it there; some stale/stuck cookie was NOT prompting me for the email address before, but now it is, so the tracking via the same email (used on phone and laptop) solved the difference.

I did have another query that came to my mind today, maybe one of you, or something else from the CIN, is aware of this.

I have watched all 6 sessions for the CySA+ via on-demand. I have the 90-minute completion certificates for all 6, and see the same completion results via my mobile or my laptop (after entering the same registered email address).
I received emails with the subject "Thank you for attending" with the body denoting specific CySA+ sessions.
I got those emails for sessions 1, 2, 3, and 6, but not for 3, 4, 5.

Does this mean there is a tracking issue, and I have to re-watch those?
I just want to make sure the attendance is tracking correctly to receive the voucher at the end.

I got the same type of email for my 1st session on AutoOps+ series as well. Which is the only one I have completed so far.

I appreciate anyone's knowledge and/or experience around this, as these are my first TTT sessions, so I am not used to how they function. I am very thankful that CompTIA provides this, allowing us to continue to learn and be up to date with the latest exam objectives and tests.
