Study Tips for PBQs

  • Time Management: PBQs typically appear at the beginning of the exam. Don't spend too long on them—you can mark them and return later.
  • Read Carefully: Pay attention to all requirements and constraints in the scenario. Missing one detail can affect your entire solution.
  • Practice Regularly: Repetition is key. Try each lab multiple times until you can complete it quickly and accurately.
  • Understand Concepts: Don't just memorize steps. Understand why each configuration setting matters and when to use it.
