![]() I also practiced writing down the quick subnetting table from the Practical Networking videos at the start of each test so it would become second nature by the day of the exam.I also wrote down all the concepts and acronyms from the test that I forgot or didn’t recognize so that I could fill in info about them in my notebook and add it to the concepts I would review in the notebook. This time I made sure to review every single question of the exam after I finished, not just the ones I missed and I wrote down any questions that I was hesitant about in my notebook so I could be sure to review that question more carefully, even if I got it right. The final step of my preparation was to take practice tests and review my notes and flashcards.I scored a 61% on my baseline, which was more or less what I expected but I felt a lot better about using one of these tests as a baseline since I had 5 more to go and I knew that it would be helpful to see what the test would be like so that I could narrow down areas of need. It does specify on those questions how that would show up on the exam, however. ![]() The PBQs were included in these practice exams this time but modified to be multiple choice. This one had 6 practice exams instead of just 2 as his A+ practice exams did. Once I was somewhat (emphasis on somewhat) comfortable with the concepts above and had reviewed the flashcards once, I bought the Dion Udemy practice exams and took the first one as a baseline.Copper and fiber types, categories, and connectors.Steps to convert a mac address to an EUI-64 1Pv6 address.A running list of new or challenging acronyms (I did not write down the ones that were already ingrained into my brain from A+).Binary math, hexadecimal conversion, and 7-second subnetting info.A diagram I made of all the covered services and ports. ![]() I also wrote down important tables, diagrams, and concepts in a notebook that I would review in conjunction with the flashcards.This was helpful at finding patterns but it made studying with the flashcards a bit more slow-going and tedious than if they were regular memorization of definition flashcards. ![]() I found this to be more helpful than just making traditional flashcards with definitions since this forced me to think more big picture when it comes to the concept and I would have to explain largely how it works or recall all the related terms or connected concepts. To save time I ended up copying and pasting all of the bulleted text under each concept in his notes I wanted to review so it was a quick way to make the notes.
