Took the DataSys+ beta

[Jill West]

I took the DataSys+ beta earlier this week. I like the updates to this exam. It seems better scoped than the current version. It took a little bit of Net+, a bit of Cloud+, a good chunk of Sec+--all in the context of databases--and then mixed in lots of database content. I had 4-5 PBQs (can't remember exactly), and a total of about 115 questions, with a better mix of difficulty than the current exam and more technical knowledge required. Finished a good hour early.

Anyone else taken this one yet? What did you think?

I'm scheduled to take it next month, so I'm looking forward to seeing the changes from the current version.

Go to your SSO CompTIA account to your exams. Search for the word "beta" in the list of exams.

I had access to the current CertMaster Learn course for a few days before I took the exam. But mostly, I just used the objectives and my study buddy, Google.

I just finished the DataSys+ beta exam. They added a new domain 6.0 Data Integration (13% of the exam),

You will need networking, security, BCDR, SQL, data privacy, API, Python, Bash/PowerShell, and cloud knowledge to complete the exam.

I had 116 questions, with 4 PBQs. I thought some of the questions were very easy, some were midrange, and some were challenging.
