Closest Exam Ever

I had a techie exam today, and not one that I was looking forward too. This issue I have with exams, is that they’re great when you know the subject, and why would you put yourself forward to be examined for anything else?

So, today, I took an exam in a product that I’ve never used outside of the classroom environment. I took the exam to certify, so that I can hopefully use the product in my current job. Odd huh?

Anyway, I passed, barely (being naked is proven to aid recall.)

I now have a CCSA NGX, and next friday is the CCSE NGX exam :S

    Congratulations mate. I have an exam coming up in October that I could do without. Not because the exam is likely to be impossibly hard (I hope) but because it’s a written (handwritten!!!) exam of maybe a dozen sides of A4. I haven’t handwritten in any quantity of consequence since about 1992 - so wrist cramp and digital inadequacy, here I come! :)

    Thanks bish! Good luck with yours too. At least mine was multiple guess, and in some cases it was just pure guess!

    I\’ve re-scheduled the exam I was due to have on the 21st of July, and I\’ve re-arranged it for the 4th of August. As I was so close in passing the easy exam, I thought I\’d put more preperation into the next one.
