Term 2 Comes To A Close

Discover Our Arts & Sciences Programs After passing and receiving my Security+ certification I had everything I needed to maintain full time status so I took a quick breather and reviewed the Project Management learning resources to make the decision that a) I would relax until the end of the term, or b) sneak in one more course in the last couple months. For the sake of acceleration I chose the latter.

Upon thumbing through the primary text for my Project+ certification I noticed it was considerably smaller than the other texts I had received which gives the impression it is going to be easy. So I informed my mentor I wanted to knock it out before the end of the term and started reading.

What I found was project management is a broad subject that really requires you to know the material. I read the primary text more than once and also visited the community threads to gather tips from other students who had taken the test.

As my test date approached I got nervous after hearing reports that the test was quite difficult and also knowing I was nearing the end of the term with a maximum of two chances to pass. And indeed, it was a difficult test. But I passed.

And so concludes another successful term and another certification to add to my ever expanding resume.
