Anyway, as I mentioned a week ago, the problems with the long waiting times before the exam seem to have been fixed. And a number of test-takers got "free" vouchers for their problems.

This is part of my issue too - I have better internet via my cell phone provider but they insist that I use the ethernet, and won't let me tether my cell phone so it can act as ethernet (the phone has to be out of reach) so I have had to go back to on-site exams.

Funnily enough I *did* end up taking LPI through OnVue via mobile connection... The testing tool said my 20Mbit wired connection was too slow, so I pulled that one and forced my router to fallback to its 5G connection which got approved

hello David, This is how TestOut designed their simulations. I've used TestOut LabSim for 5+ years. CompTIA purchased their platform last year and now the new CertMaster Perform blends the best of both. The notes on the left are directions to follow. So if a student sees "Wireshark" - they click on the Wireshark icon or search for it. Then go to the next step and so on. The idea is to use the computers as if walking into a small business "set up."

As an instructor, I usually do these with my students the first time as a demonstration and then have them complete the lab. If you really want to have full instructions - go into the lab, do nothing except answer the questions, correctly or not and then click score. Full instructions then become available.

Sometimes with difficult labs, I print out the instructions in advance. I like the fact that the "instructions are hidden" because it allows for some experimentation and failure as part of the learning experience. If a student has everything correct all the time by following step-by-step instructions they may not grasp the full extent of real-world application. Some students find it defeating, others find it exhilarating.

Hi LynW,

Thank you very much.

Good day! Has anyone done the lab re: 5.1.10 Lab: Cisco Troubleshooting Tools from TestOut Labs for Network+?

One of the tasks says "Test the connection from SFO router to Wrk1".
As you can see in the screenshot, the ping is successful.

So we answer the question:

But when we check the answers, it will say that we answered it wrong.

Per checking, the answer that it is looking for is 0 (zero). What???

I hope someone from CompTIA and/or TestOut can fix this erratum.

You can always use ChatGPT to test you on specific topics. Works pretty well.

Soooo... I sat the new CompTIA SecurityX beta cert last night.

Okay, here are my thoughts:

1. 117 questions, with plenty of time.

2. I had 4 PBQs, but was not too sure what to do on one of them.

3. I felt the multiple-choice questions were fair, some with choose (2) answers. Not bad.

4. All questions, from what I remember, are application scenarios. That is expected at this level.

5. I was tired at the end of the exam and was ready for a cold beer!

6. Who knows if I passed! If not, I will try again. I currently have the 003 version of CASP+.

All-in-all, CompTIA did a great job on this exam. If you are pursuing cybersecurity, I encourage you to learn this material and test your knowledge. I feel this certification compliments CISSP and other related cybersecurity certifications.

Keep at it, folks! Don't give up!

please what is going with this bad information.

Please enough of this complain is too much, those in charge should do the needful.
I am using this median to plead with our coordinator (Mr. Stephen and Mr. Rick) to intervene so that they can do their exam successfully.

I had same problem in June with booking tests and it look like it been solved now so fingers crossed it stays that way.

Ps. Issues with kicking out for connection is difficult issue as even the person taking the test has a backup line it is not allowed so if anyone is interrupt by the ISP then unfortunately the test subject will be regarded as not in compliance.

This is part of my issue too - I have better internet via my cell phone provider but they insist that I use the ethernet, and won't let me tether my cell phone so it can act as ethernet (the phone has to be out of reach) so I have had to go back to on-site exams.

Reminder! Reminder! Reminder! please join the CompTIA Network + session 6

@davidpapkin
- with TestOut labs, I find that it is a good practice for the instructor to do the demo with the students. Some labs has detailed instructions whereas, there are a few labs where the student will need to find it out for themselves.

@Stephen Schneiter

Will there be access to the CompTIA instructor guide for N10-009 during our current train-the-trainer sessions?

Your assistance would be greatly appreciated!

I know they're working on that. Stay tuned.
