Failed Data+ Exam

Greetings everyone!!

Today I have failed my first CompTIA certification exam. However, allow me to thank CompTIA through CIN for the Data Plus voucher, Next time will come strong and do better.
@Stephen Schneiter Thank you so much as well for the whole hustle you do in the background to ensure that everyone who participate in CIN TTT gets the Voucher.

M.2 Crash

Hey all. I had my M.2 hard drive crash. I wanted to create a thread to talk M.2 if that is fine. Kinda two questions for the moment minus any other information you can post. Figured good chat for your classroom as well. Good thing for the cloud backup....Whaaaaaa.

1st - My M.2 ssd will power on but can't even detect it. I was getting a page_file error and suspected maybe OS corruption but the got the WHEA_Uncorrectable_Error and it failed. Is there a way to access the information still or is the Boot order totally gone maybe since it said "system type: ntfs" at the bottom. (Iam wondering if heat could have been a factor in this to since it was about my 3090 / I am using Speccy to monitor temperatures at the moment since I replaced it and everything seems fine until I play lots of games making the GPU go 75'C - 79'C which is still good for the GPU but maybe not added heat to the M.2 above) - Thoughts

2nd - Any good way to free back up used sectors that might have been blocked because I see that you will delete data but maybe it will only block it off instead. Idk if "TRIM operations" help with that. I figured only good to do that once in a blue moon since SSD don't like a lot of certain actions. I am also assuming it will just over write that data eventually if it needs the space.

Help with CM Learn vocabulary flashcards

I teach high school students through CertMaster Learn.

1. Is there any way to export the list of vocabulary for a particular lesson? For example, lesson 7A of 1102 has 49 words for my students to review and it would be nice to export them for another review game or quiz.
2. Can the vocabulary "list" be filtered? All mine does is return the entire list of 597 words.
3. Who can these ideas be submitted to as suggestions?
4. Are these vocab words available elsewhere?

Thanks.

Has anyone had an issue getting past the user info validation page when scheduling an exam?

While I've submitted a ticket for this, I thought I'd post it here in case someone else has had the same issue and there's a simple solution.

I booked the 220-1102 exam on Sunday. Everything on the site worked flawlessly.
Passed it Tuesday and now want to book 220-1101.

But today, when I log into login.comptia.org to schedule an exam, I'm first prompted to validate my personal details as usual, but I can't "Save Updates" to continue. I get a server error: "User information update with PearsonVue failed The remote server returned an unexpected response: (302) Found."

I've cleared my cache, tried different browsers, and verified that I wasn't missing a mandatory field - but nothing seemed to work.
Anyone seen this before?

Adaptive exams?

Are any of the current CompTIA exams adaptive exams? I know that a long time ago, CompTIA had some adaptive exams that would adjust the questioning based on a test-taker's responses. That was dropped in favor of a linear exam. I heard someone say that CompTIA has adaptive exams.

Can I get clarification on this? Are any of the current CompTIA exams adaptive? Are there plans for upcoming exams to be adaptive exams?

Problems with PBQ questions on MacOS?

Thank God, i just passed the Security+ exam.
But there is one problem, one of the PBQ questions does not display the output mentioned in the question. So that I don't know the problem asked in the question, so I chose the answer by guessing ?.
Was this happening because I'm using MacOS? Comments from colleagues in this community are very welcome.
