Spot on when you mentioned listening to both Mike Myers & Professor Messer. Different styles between the two of them but both are invaluable resources with all the knowledge they have put out over the years. Thanks for your tips! I've become committed to memorizing all those port #'s.

[@ghidrah76]

Professor Messer is the greatest!!!

[@KrisiumSoul]

I think like you mention people needs to be more aware about printers and port numbers. Even in a real company barely anyone will work with a printer and port will be using almost the same over and over again. But to get certified is a must. I study cyber security online and they miss fully the areas that we will need to do/use in real enviroment. Not everything taught will transfer to real job, most of it will be learned at your work site.

[@cyberacademics]

I agree that's why hands on experience will always remain the top skillset of how to learn something. I was lucky enough to get hands on experience and study for my A+ to compare certain concepts from the exam.

[@KrisiumSoul]

@@cyberacademics Facts, even that i have my associate degree in cyber security im only applying to IT jobs in general to learn more from the basic and up. I may be able to fall into a higher or different position but i would not have the knowledge to back it up.

Bro studying for this printers is probably the most obnoxious thing to study for and it’s so booooooooooring

[@SeemaChanan]

Yeah just started studying about printers now it's complex and boring

[@Unaffected_Unknow]

[@jaydavis822]

@@picklesl0ver1use chat gtp to explain domains better for you that’s what I did. I used them to understand how ports work. Make sure your prompts are specific like..for example Explain the functions of tcp port 20 as if you’re explaining it to someone with a 12th grade reading level use real world examples to further your point so it can be understood Chat GTP: Sure! Let me explain the functions of TCP port 20 associated with FTP data transfer in simpler terms, using real-world examples: Imagine you have a computer and you want to download a file from a remote server using an FTP program. When you initiate the download, your computer needs a way to receive the file data from the server. TCP port 20 helps with that. Data Transfer: TCP port 20 is like a special channel that allows the actual file data to flow between the server and your computer. It's similar to a pipeline that carries the file from the server to your computer, ensuring it arrives safely. Active Mode Data Transfer: Think of active mode FTP as a situation where you go to a store and physically pick up the file you want. In this case, your computer needs to wait at TCP port 20 to receive the file from the server. It's like standing at a specific counter to receive the file you requested. Passive Mode Data Transfer: Passive mode FTP is like ordering something online and having it delivered to your doorstep. In this case, your computer listens on TCP port 20, and the server sends the file data to your computer's specified port. It's like waiting at your home for a delivery to arrive. Firewall Considerations: Sometimes, firewalls or security measures can interfere with the data transfer process. Imagine a security gate that blocks certain incoming connections. To ensure the file data can pass through the firewall, it needs to be configured to allow connections on TCP port 20, just like opening the gate to let the file come through. To summarize, TCP port 20 is the doorway that allows the actual file data to travel between the FTP server and your computer during a download. It ensures a smooth flow of the file, like a pipeline or a delivery system. Understanding how TCP port 20 functions helps ensure successful file transfers when using FTP.

Hello, Cyber, I took and passe COMPTIA+ some years ago, and I will take the current one soon, but I anted to know, if I take and pass Core1 can I get a cert for that, or, .must' I wait toppass core 2 as well?

Very informative video, Thanks! 👍🏼

[@klintosborne5897]

Helpful vid! Appreciate you sharing your experience about taking the test, what to study for as well as resources to help with that. I understand peoples process vary tho I'd be interested to know about your process of studying with the resources. Was there a particular way you studied? For ex. Did you study for a certain amount of time per day/week? Also, was there a specific way you studied? Such as watch some vids, look up terms & how to's along the way, write down some notes then use Quizlet or take practice tests?

[@cyberacademics]

Thank you for those kind words. So I would study 5-7 hours a day Monday - Friday. I was very luck to have a major opened window of time on a daily basis. I would watch videos and take notes throughout each chapter. I then would make flash cards of the hard to remember or confusing terms. Then I would youtube certain parts that confused me on how they fully worked. Hope this response helps and good luck!

[@williamjohnson1668]

Disagreement: At NCR, while I was repairing printers, you will use a computer-based and designated tool set. Wholesale stores use all of the "out of date" things. Trust me, you will eventually use all of what A+ certificates: hardware and software

[@cyberacademics]

I wasn’t meaning that A+ material isn’t useful or not used in real world application. I was just meaning some stuff is outdated on the exam and that the printer troubleshooting may not be so in depth depending on where you work. Some companies have a line to call for someone to come in and fix the printers.

So just failed my 1101, 640/900. During mutiple choice questions the exam page dropped out twice. During my PBQ I couldn’t drag n drop, the proctor had to restart twice during this time and I lost 2.5 minutes. In addition.. I couldn’t answer the drag n drop questions even after the restart which sucked cuz I knew them😏

[@cyberacademics]

Im so sorry, if you want to do a in person test then check locally whats closet and maybe do the exam in person instead of online. Sometimes proctor exams are tough. I had a complete power outage during one proctor exam. I was super nervous.

[@monasenthil]

i also faced the same problem, got 633 (1101) , drag and drop questions(PBQ) got stuck not able to drag. The Proctor restarted my exam even after didn't worked...

[@cyberacademics]

@@monasenthil The biggest tip I can give you for this exam is to flag each PBQ for save for later. Do this to all of those questions so that you may knock out the multiple choice first. I’m certain that you will pass this next attempt, good luck!
