Many study-exam places host forums to help the members who have questions. Advice about passing exams, study guides, and helpful information along with encouragement is a great way to help others.

I used to think the world of the people at TechExams.net. From what I have seen since I have been a member since 2003 was a forum devoted to helping others learn, answering questions and encouraging others for certifications.

I thought I would add my 2 cents for helping others as well. That IS what it is supposed to be all about.

Well evidentally it was not on that site. I posted 3 different links in their forums after some other posts congratulating other members on passing certifications.The links were to my study notes here on the site

• CWNA Study Guide PWO-100
• CompTIA’s Linux+ Cheat Sheet (XK0-002)
• Comp TIA’s Security+ Cheat Sheet

I want to thank everyone who commented, emailed me, crossed their fingers or thought about me while I was taking my test. Sadly, I did not pass I ended up getting a 640 and a 675 was needed to pass. I guess I am sort of taking this pretty hard. This really has gotten under my skin. Will I try again? I don’t know. It has really made me re-evaluate things. I have had to wonder if computers is even what I want to work in now. This test was even hard for me. Most of the others, with the exception of the CCNA exam.. I found to be very easy and had no problems on. This - well, this is a different story. I really had to work to get the score I did - and.. It wasn’t good enough. I keep thinking it doesn’t matter how good I am working with Linux.. or how long I have used it.. If I couldn’t pass this test, I must not be good enough. But, who knows. More than anything, I am just mad at myself for not passing

Well.. this is it! Jan 2nd at 15:30 est I go and take my Linux+ test. Think good things and keep your fingers crossed for me! I want this certification so bad. I have studied and studied and studied until I can study no more. Afterwards.. int he tradition of the network+ cheat sheet I created, I will be posting my Linux+ cheat sheet I made for this test. I hope I can remember enough that I have done in Linux to pass!

Whether you celebrate Christmas, Hanukkah, Winter Solstice or any other Holiday this season… I wish everyone a Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays!
