  • Really Nervous

    Ok people. It's now after 9 eastern time and I'm about to do some more studying then at 12:30 go take my very first IT certification test. I've been studying for a month and a half for the Security+ and I'm really nervous right now.

    I don't know if it's the worrying that I might not pass or just the simple waiting that is getting to me. Whatever it is I am really on edge and can't sit still right now.

    I'm trying to relax but I can't. I just want to get this test over with so I can relax and then start studying for my second test, CISSP.

    I hope I pass so I don't have to go take the test over again. Well I should get back to reading my notes. Wish me luck.

    Good luck!

    And calm down. Get a soda on your way to the test. But, a sugar free one.

    That normally helps me to calm, but stay away from the sugars depending on how tough the test is. Update us later on the results!

    Good luck!

      Well I just got back from my test and i'm happy to say I passed......BARELY. I had to get 764 out of 900 points which is 85%. i got 770 . I'm so glad I passed and don't have to worry about that test and can start studying for the next one.

      It's nice to have my first one out of the way and I can safely say the first one wasn't a cake walk (?). I saw alot of things on the test that I didn't read in my book or see in the practice questions and some of the other ones were just worded in a way that made it a little tricky.

      Glad it's over with and thanks for the well wishes.

          I would not have passed. 900 questions?

          Nope. I can't sit in a 45 minute class without getting very bored and just stop paying attention.

          Now, if I had some music, it would be alright. But, nope. No way. Not for me.

          What field are you in? IT?

            LoL. No way would I be able to do a 900 question test. . It was 100 question worth 900 points total. I have no idea why it's 900 points. It took me about an hour to take the test. The next test I'm studying for is 250 questions and it's 6 hours long......it's a hard test.

            Yes, I work in IT. I do System Admin work right now as a contractor for the government but I would like to get into Information Security. That's the reason I'm taking the tests. I need to get some credentials on my resume.

            It also gives me goals in life to aim for.

            You're in school right now?

                Lol. Whew. You scared me.

                I am actually in high school, but I am looking very deep into the Web Design field. I love it. And, the money is great once you get established.

                But, that is good to hear. I really just like to mess around with computers in General.
