I'll make it crystal clear so you are clear. I said HE GUESSES what he THINKS what will get him enough points to pass. I'll emphasize that he's VERY LUCKY to guess right each time he takes the exams for his certifications. NO ONE KNOWS exactly HOW CompTIA gives points.

I am not sure why you keep on going on and on. It's kind of clear that I'm just saying THIS is what HE DOES and it works FOR HIM.

Does that help? I am NOT trying to EXPLAIN how CompTIA scores the exam, merely giving an observation of what my old teacher does.

OK, so he does the minimum. Sounds like a great role model.
