2026 301a exam
Scheduled to take 301a exam at the end of next month. I have a home lab with a GTM and two LTMs. I work with F5's daily as part of my W2 job. Member of Linkedln 301 group. Just looking for any advice beyond my current experience.

In my opinion, daily hands-on experience with F5 gives you everything you need to succeed in the 301a, the exam simply formalizes what you already practice.

Hello Jonathancert
Here is a previous post discussing the 301a exam that may be helpful. It is from a few years ago but does offer up quite a few resources.

If you have hands on experience and you have looked at the study guides out there you are most likely well prepared for the exam. I would say that you might want to brush up on troubleshooting various health monitor issues. The biggest issue with the 300 series exams is the amount of time you spend on each question.

I failed. My insights is I need to study more. lol. It really goes in depth about Persistence, SNAT and advanced Pool/Pool member configurations. Going to put more time in with my home lab breaking things. Time is a major factor. Spent too much of it being through with my answers. Rushed the last 20 questions. I'm sure you will do better than me.
