Hope to get ASAP

Ditto here, and I'll write that exam soon.
On a related note, I wish the A+ exam came with letter grades instead of scaled scores…

That way, we could all look forward to conversations like:

Person 1: I just passed A+!
Person 2: Awesome! Which test did you take?
Person 1: A+.
Person 2: Yeah, I got that. Congrats! But which exam?
Person 1: The A+ exam.
Person 2: Okay, so you aced the A+?
Person 1: No, I got a B+ on the A+.
Person 2: Wait… so you didn’t get an A+ on A+?
Person 1: Right.
Person 2: So what did you get?
Person 1: A B+.
Person 2: On the A+.
Person 1: Exactly.
Person 2: That feels… mathematically illegal.
Person 1: Tell me about it. I was hoping for an A, at least.
Person 2: On A+?
Person 1: No, just an A. Not an A+.
Person 2: But you took A+.
Person 1: Yes, and got a B+.
Person 2: But not an A+?
Person 1: That would’ve been ideal. But I’ll take a B+ on A+.
Person 2: So you passed.
Person 1: With a B+.
Person 2: On the A+?
Person 1: Yes!
Person 2: Okay, now I’m confused. Did you get an A+ in A+ or a B+ in A+ or an A in B+ or—
Person 1: I didn’t take B+! That’s not even a thing!
Person 2: So what’s the next cert?
Person 1: Thinking of going for Network+.
Person 2: Let me guess—you want an A on Network+?
Person 1: No, I want an A+ on Network+.
Person 2: But you already got a B+ on A+!
Person 1: Exactly.
Person 2: …I need a drink.

Congratulations

aside from grep, I also suggest knowing sed and awk

There's definitely no shortage of text tools on Linux. Tools like awk, sed, cut, paste, nl, etc. are lumped into next Thursday's TTT on the shell because they are often used alongside redirection, and they’re easier to introduce a bit later in the course, once students have some shell basics under their belt

Although not on Linux+, you can also install the bat command (e.g., dnf install bat), which is a nice alternative to cat/tac and more.

Ditto here, but I did have many questions with subnets that were not /8, /16, or /24, so that was refreshing as it's more aligned with "using" subnets today rather than calculating them

Hello guys! My apologies for my late reply due to my sched. I appreciate your inputs and rest assured I'll check all of them.

Based on @Bruce Weaver answer, I think it's clear to me that I'll use the Cert Master Learn.

Thanks guys!

When I took the exam earlier this year, it did not have subnetting questions on it. I was quite surprised.

@Stephen Schneiter When is CompTIA Data + Beta results coming out

Click to expand...

Beta results are always posted right before the exam launches. So, I would expect results sometime in the second week of October.

Hi Enegare. Thank you for reaching out, and apologies for the inconvenience. Please could you submit a Help Request providing as much detail as possible about the error, list the access in question, and provide screen grabs of the entire screen to ensure we can investigate and resolve this timeously.

I've never used the tac command. I know it, just never used it.

The common commands I use for viewing the contents of a file are cat, less, more, head, tail, nano and vim. All of the commands I've mentioned are in the exam objectives for Linux+. I'm not sure about tac.

grep is a command that is very common in many of the CompTIA exams whether, it'd be for Linux+, Security+, CySA+, Pentest+ and even SecurityX (formerly CASP+). I personally use grep in many scripts.

aside from grep, I also suggest knowing sed and awk
