Cool Slayed the Beast today!
The Beast is dead
I would of settled for 700 when I clicked end exam but I got 763. I am chuffed to bits. Especially as i failed this exam about a year ago. I think failing one (that was the first) makes you realise just how difficult some of these exams are.
The other thing I was please with was that I scored 100% (well a full band on the sectional results area) for the IP Addressing section. Subnetting was something I didnt really understand when i did my Network+ 2 years ago but now I think I know inside out upside down and backwards!

Well that should be my MCSA now with A+ and N+ electives but I guess I will wait till my transcript updates (up to 7 days apparently) before making it official!

I have an interview for a Post in our Systems Engineering Team at work next week, so passing this now is just the ticket (well hopefully!)

If you think training is expensive try ignorance "Drucker"

A full band should mean you answered 100% of those questions correctly... which could contribute a little or a lot to your overall score, depending on how few or how many of those questions you got.

Congrats!

I've gotten a full band, but on the bottom of the line it still says: `Needs Development` so I thought it didnt mean you scored 100%


Congrats on the pass!!!!
