lol, I've studied this stuff till my brain is ready to blow up and yet I'm a nervous wreck, my stomach is in knots and I didn't sleep well last night. I know the material and it'll kill me if my nerves get the better of me and cause me to blow this
exam. God, I hate exams , we need a nervous icon here but don't have one so I guess sad will have to cover it. 🙁





<-- just has to sleep well tonight
 
You still continue to amaze me, first there was a black antec case and black logitech keyboard and mouse and a black everglide mousepad. Then there was the love for the upcoming Unreal2 game. And now you are taking a networking exam.

Its true what they say, women are confusing😕


Good luck on the exam 🙂
 
don't worry about it

i just got my electronics exam back, got a 98%, one of only 4 people who got above a 90% and i didn't start studying until midnight the day before the exam ( it was at 9 AM the next day ).

you will do fine.
 
You'll be fine. I took it over a year ago. It wasn't too bad. To answer that question, I think it is 30 if I recall correctly. Or somewhere around there.
 


<< What are the maximum number of users on a 185m length of cat5 cable? >>



CAT5 ? aren't you refering to coaxial here with it's limit of 30 workstation nodes per 185m segment ?

With Cat5 each server and work station must be cabled to it's own port on a hub , exception - crossover cabling between
2 computers.
 
What's the difference between an hub, a switching hub and a switch?

Which types of UTP cable are there?

Which types of cable are used for Ethernet?

What are the limitations of a Token ring network?

Good luck! 😀
 
baffled2, good luck. I will be rooting for you tomorrow. 🙂

If you're in the middle of the exam and you realize it's starting to kick your butt, just start wr1t1ng 1n E133t-Sp3ak. Even if what you're saying is incorrect, you should get credit for writing like that, because only geeks who know computers do that. 😀
 
Good luck on the exam. Take your time and read the questions carefully and you'll do just fine. Before I even click start on the exam and have the timer run down, I usually write down some of the more complicated topics that I may forget or confuse myself with onto a piece of paper first, that way I won't forget.

I've taken around 8 MS exams and have failed 3 of them. No biggie. After you do a few of the exams, you'll slowly start to settle in and not be as nervous.

If you have confidence in yourself, you're already 50% there. The rest is understanding and memorzing the material.
 
Thanks everybody, I just closed the books and am trying to force some food down now maybe I'll watch a funny movie too ,I've got to sleep well tonight ,wanna do ATOT proud in the morning 🙂
