That's what I like about your channel, the raw honesty. You didn't try to sugar coat why you failed the exam or anything like that. I know you'll pass it next time just like I know you got great things coming in your future!

It can happen to anyone, your reason is legit. NSE4 was my first cert. I aced it in 17 min BUT my mentor is a 40+ year senior, NSE7+ for a big ISP and I took a full month to casually prepare. That big "fine" you paid will remind you next time ;-) I personally find the Leitner flashcard method for filling in the details makes all the difference (ask and I can share mine), oh yeah lab every freaking day on your FGT for at least 30 min. Good luck next round. And funny enough... I have my nse5 exams scheduled in Jan and with 12 hr work nights haven't touched my materials at all yet, so looking at this as a reminder to get at it, thanks for sharing.

Its good that you always share your struggles

Hey what's up Lise! Hope all is great with u! Yo, failing an exam is tough and yeah it stings about the money but just take what u learned about the exam and apply it to the next attempt and you'll pass with no problems! Distractions, in my miniscule opinion, are the biggest failure factors, when it comes to taking cert exams. You just had too much on your plate at the time...Hell look at all you're responsible for yo! So I'm glad you're not beating yourself up about it. Just jump back in as fast as u can after u brush up a lil more and get that shit done! You're a f'n rock star! And oh yeah, please don't ever say you're not that smart no mo...yes you is!😅 Anyway, I hope u and your family are having the happiest of holiday's and Merry Christmas and Happy New Year and all that!

You may have failed the exam but I’ll say your content (among others) gave me inspiration to become a Cybersecurity Analyst in 9 months with no prior IT experience so keep doing you. Love from the UK!

Going for the same cert next year, can't wait.

Cool thing about Fortinet certs. They usually give you a $200 kickback if you pass

[Ant_Lambo]

LOL I failed my first Aruba cert like that. Coming from the Cisco world I thought "how hard could it be??"

I was humbled real quick 😅😅

[sharkonLAN]

A similar story when I took CASP+. Scheduled it and wasn’t taking it seriously. On the day of the exam I found out I actually scheduled to take the exam the week before. $500 down the drain lol it happens

[KyleSimpson_Studio]

You will pass it next time! How do you get yourself in the mode to study? I've been putting off two exams for the last year. I'm always moving the date and saying I'll study this time and I don't study.

[neauxmad]

I mean you lost 400 but at least you made it that far. I'll Google the cert, add to bookmarks, and never look at it again.

[MrJamkev]

Which one (haven’t watch as yet :) ) either way u will get it next time

[garylove]

I know the feeling I fail my A+ core1 but imma do like the singer Aaliyah says in her song at first you don’t succeed dust it off and try again.yes I lost $220 dollars 😆 lol 😂 but lose more than that in the casinos.

[justdoitevelson]

Hey um do you know anything about software engineering? & If u do would you be that instead of Network Engineer?

[LTRL-xijt]

You will get that NSE4 next time. I know Fortinet will sometimes have half off vouchers. I took advantage of some a few months back. Wish you the best on your exam.

[Kynsuji]

Tests? Who got time for dat? lol Life happens. Keep it going, there's still plenty to do and conquer.

[TechTualChatter]

Lol sounds like me failing ceh back in the day

[mufarodarlingtonkaseke]

The moment this popped in my feed I suspected you didn't take it serious😂

[byfaithinchucksandhoops]

At least you took it. I scheduled and paid for the CCNA and totally forgot about it. $300 wasted!
