XK-006 is coming in the future

I had 119 questions with 4 PBQs. Quite honestly, I liked the 005 better. Some of the multiple-choice questions were entirely too long for the topics they were testing. I also agree that they added too many topics that were not Linux specific. I'm well aware of AI and tools like Docker and Ansible, but they seem out of place on the exam.

Account Manager disappeared!

Hello @Generiss Academy, thanks for the information. I really enjoyed working with Natalie and I was sorry to see let go. I have reached out to the UK team to see who will be taking over Natalie's accounts. As soon as I hear back I will send an introduction email to you both.

Thank you for your patience and again, I apologize for the inconvenience.

Account Manager disappeared!

Thank you @Stephen Schneiter. My organization is called Generiss Academy Ltd and we are located in London, England. My account manager is Natalie Richards. Thanks.
Based on Natalie's LinkedIn it seems that unfortunately she was let go from CompTIA.

You may want to reach out to Luke Barton, who's still with CompTIA in London though the UK might not be his area.

  • Question
CertMaster Perform DataX "Master" Solutions for Reference

Good Day Everyone!

Is there a master solution set for the Live Labs for the DataX class? For example, a ZIP file that contains working examples of all of the Jupyter Notebooks?

Any other insights are appreciated!

Thank you,
Ben

XK-006 is coming in the future

@Gregory Childers : how did your beta go, on the 25th?

As per my last post I was hoping to switch my students to LFCS, but after discussing it with the school I realised I hadn't accounted for one big factor: proctoring.

LFCS is online proctored online. Our students are neurodivergent and it is extremely stressful for them to be forced to sit still and be perfectly silent for 1-2 hours. Meanwhile, the school is both a CompTIA partner (discounted vouchers) and a PearsonVue test center. The school is a safe environment to take the Linux+ exam.

So... I guess I'll stick with XK0-006, even though I really dislike it compared to XK0-005.

DeepSeek

In conjunction with my use of the DeepSeek application, I did use an account I created (e.g. "[email protected]") to access the site and also used a Google Voice phone number that's connected with the account. One cannot be too careful based upon privacy concerns, particularly when dealing with the site's country of origin.
Too careful = use someone else's name for nefarious purposes... I guess that's what I get, eh?

Alibaba released their AI model which they claim outperforms DeepSeek, OpenAI, and Meta.
With all this, with DeepSeek now being investigated for ripping off OpenAI , here's your song, Greg:
