Yes, but which was it during the TTT?!?

I've scheduled Data+ for next week, and I think I'm well prepared, but there's one area I can't seem to remember from the TTT session. Is it Skippy or Jif? And is it smooth or chunky? Any help appreciated.

Great to hear! :D

LOL - yes, we have met many times over the years! I think the first time we met was at an event at the Metro Convention Centre in Toronto (and if I recall correctly, you were wearing a cool Microsoft laptop backpack ?). I've been to so many events, I honestly can't remember which one it was -...

I'm somewhat disappointed that the store doesn't have CompTIA-branded merchandise (t-shirts, hoodies, etc.) for sale. I would totally buy some if they did :)

If CompTIA doesn't rename TestOut to Test+, an opportunity was lost :cool:

Thanks for the comments everyone - it's working beautifully now and was able to book the exam! I don't imagine Pearson VUE has many downtime issues (likely because they aren't owned by Rogers here in Canada), but I've booked Data+ and Pentest+ too just in case :)

I just got an update from the ticket I submitted. The issue isn't on CompTIA's end - apparently Pearson's systems are down right now so you can't schedule exams (just an FYI).

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...

Wait... isn't having access to CIN validation that you can teach CompTIA material?

It does feel dirty taking Linux+ on a Windows system... But you could always install WSL2 first, so at least there's a Linux kernel always running alongside the Windows kernel :unsure:

Ditto what Rick said - I don't think I remember any adaptive CompTIA exams (just Microsoft, and they stopped doing those in the 2010s). I believe the idea Microsoft had behind adaptive testing was to reduce the "paper MCSEs" back then (their exams questions were very easy and only required...

The one thing that's great about a physical PearsonVUE Test Center is that you always get the same experience. This is likely because each testing system has strict version requirements (down to the OS build and updates).

I believe it was one of the terms that was replaced on the inclusive terms list. However - the issue with this particular term is that it's still (and likely to be always) used in the industry and online. So, I have to tell my students that DMZ = perimeter network = screened subnet (although...

I was worried... but I managed to pass :sneaky: Great exam IMHO!

Just received mine too - booked for tomorrow at the local testing center :cool:

On a related note, I just found my CTT book from 1998 (before CompTIA acquired CTT from ibstpi): https://triosdevelopers.com/jason.eckert/stuff/ibstipi.jpg

I did a Git blog post back in 2018 that served as a quickstart for our developer students - you may find it helpful: https://jasoneckert.github.io/myblog/a-simple-guide-to-git/

Congrats!
