This is very good to know, as I, too, often leave off the PBQs and GAS questions until later. But perhaps CompTIA is thinking, in order to force the issue and make people take those sooner, to find some kind of mechanism to prevent that. CASP is next up on my list too, so I'll watch for that. And I'll spread the word about that bit, because pushing those questions to the end has been conventional wisdom for training students for the exam.
One thing I also did note from the Cloud+ training material is that if you blow through a VM scenario, you have to wait a fair bit of time for the VM to reset before trying it again. My guess is that the cert exam is the same way, so you only get one crack at it, by virtue of provisioning the VM assets for the learner.
Again, very interesting.
One of the things I purposed to do was to answer the question regarding CertMaster: Would studying CertMaster, pretty much by itself, prepare a candidate for this exam?
When we reference "Linux Stuff", are we talking about the stuff noted in Objective 2.9, tools for Forensic Analysis? Tools like ssdeep, vmstat, ldd, and the like? Because I didn't see anything in the training materials for Linux, other than this stuff.

I figure I'll find out soon enough, though.
Ridiculous. You're not fooling anyone, Jill. You don't get to be a book author and play the "easy questions" card. Sorry. Not buying it. I think it's well-deserved, so my congrats to you on your latest win, as well as on the string of passes for this year. Rock on, sista.
