Failed Data+ Exam

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.

Multiple CertMaster accounts?

Asking this as a student, rather than as an instructor... I have a CertMaster account under my personal e-mail address, where I access my CertMaster CE and TTT/Instructor Guide materials. I'm also starting a bachelor's program which uses CertMaster, and I just received an email to my university email address about setting up CertMaster access. It looks like I'm going to have to set up a separate CertMaster account for school, and I'm wondering if it'll be possible to merge it with my current one, if it'll present a problem with attaining or renewing my certs, etc.

Thanks!

  • Question

How to create a new account?

Hey everyone,
I have some instructors on my team that I would like to register for CIN, but I can't figure out how to create an account anymore does anyone have an insight so that I can create an easy one pager to give them so that I can get them all set up?

  • Question
Certmaster learn and Labs User account management

I hope someone can help me with a few questions: (Yes, I've already watched the how-to videos)

  1. If a student was in a previous Cloud+ class last semester, can I just assign their account to a new contract for Server+ class for this semester?
  2. I am the institution admin for the contracts, and also an instructor. Last semester our students purchased access from the academic marketplace they enrolled themselves (we had no seat licenses). I could manage and see their progress in the Boost dashboard everything was dandy. This semester we have a new instructor and have seat licenses available but only enough for one of their classes. I'm assuming the best way would be to make a group for the class with seat licenses and just upload the csv, the instructor would see the group in their Boost dashboard and easy-peasy. Correct?
  3. The other late start class will have to purchase their own access from the academic marketplace. Any ideas on what would be the most efficient and best way for me as an admin to manage their accounts? (The new instructor is not well-versed in the platform.)
Thank you!

P.S Congrats on TestOut! Now I don't have to choose!
