CA1-005: CompTIA SecurityX Certification Beta Exam

I took the SecurityX beta yesterday and posted a review on TechExams.Net: https://community.infosecinstitute.com/discussion/comment/1186009/#Comment_1186009
Took mine today and i agree with your thoughts on the exam. Albeit, i was not as good at managing my time as you were and found myself racing to the finish line. Still recuperating 6 hrs later. 😅

How to upgrade from the Network+ (N10-008) to Network+ (N10-009)?

We're trying to figure out how to upgrade and use the new Network+ (N10-009). Do we need to buy a new Network+ (N10-009) product for this? Or can CompTIA upgrade our current Network+ (N10-008)?

Also, it seems that the credentials to the https://learn.comptia.org/ are not working for the new platform https://platform.comptia.org. When try to create a new account, there is a need of Access key, which probably will come with new purchase? the old access key does not work.

Some guidance from experts will be greatly appreciated. Thanks

Any Reason N10-009 Slides 99% word and no picture photo and graphic ? Very boring....hope can enhance!

Hello Peter, You make a solid point. Producing a presentation ahead of the launch creates a challenge doesn't it? Much effort is required for including pictures and graphics for commercial use, including permissions and that the platforms used to create same are commercially licensed. CompTIA's reach is global, which includes compliance with a variety of laws.

However the primary purpose of slides is in classroom use. Since these aren't intended for marketing or as the primary means of teaching, I can see value in simplicity. They are used to enhance my hands-on and experience-sharing. My students like them as a study guide for the keywords, concepts and objectives. I encourage use for review after I've taught a subject. I like slides to have just enough information, then if they still don't have a firm grasp of the material, to follow through with more in-depth research and to ask questions in class.
Yes, I agree slides can be dry! @LynW brings up a good point about the use of graphics. CompTIA provides the basic slide deck with the main teaching points. Some folks have commented that there are too many slides. You have the ability to change the slides, add slides, remove slides or edit them as you see fit. You have a starting point and the ability to change the slide deck to meet your teaching style, pacing, and content you want to cover.

I like to add some graphics that work for me, some that I think add context to the text. Others do not; it is a personal choice. Every instructor has a unique style for content delivery.
And to dog pile onto what @LynW and @Stephen Schneiter have said...

I think slides are the tool of the individual - and they have to be tailored to the person using them to deliver the content. Sure, one can use stock or canned slides, but I have ALWAYS preferred to make my own. With slides, too many times, they become the "star of the show", rather than the speaker. No matter how good the slides are, the speaker should always be the center of attention.

How to become CTT+ ?

Not exactly proud but I think I took that cake.
Actually, yes...yes you did. Lucky for you, there was still cake there...it's like a sheet cake at work that gets wiped out, with Milton standing there, complaining about how he didn't get a piece...

Question - TestOut Lab 8.3.6 SNMP

In the TestOut Network+ laboratory 8.3.6 - Quiz Question #2, it asks:
What types of network interface data were reported to the management system over SNMP?

I happen to know the answer to the question - Utilization and Discards - coming from CCNA.
However, need guidance on how to show it to the students via the OpenNMS from the TestOut Lab.
Kindly advise. Thanks!
