F5 101 Exam failed :(

So I've been studying for this F5 101 Exam for some time. I've read the philip jonsson F5 101 book, the F5 study guide, done F5Learn and played in my own F5 lab for 200+ hours. I did my due diligence...

Hi Geoff_70,

F5 exam 101 is mostly basic TCP/IP and OSI Knowledge so no need study guide, start digging on Google and read the Blueprint :-)

You can also buy the 101 study guide available from Steven and Philip (https://www.f5books.eu/).

Hello Lidev and thanks for the reply. Yes I bought that book yesterday from Amazon, $9.99 AUD. Seems like a light version of the CCNA, I am compiling notes from both that book and my CCNA notes from years ago! One thing I will say for an exam which gives you no certification it is close to $300 AUD to sit which is pretty expensive! What about the follow-on exams, 201 etc is there some decent guides on that anywhere? Thanks, Geoff

    Hi,

    Study guide (unofficial) are no longer available because they were outdated.

    Take a look on this DevCentral Articles : F5 Certifications Mega Meta Series: The art of knowing what you need to know , is a good start for exam preparation.

     

    For 201 exam, we highly recommend the TMOS Operations guide available on AskF5.com and take pratice exam through ExamStudio.

    You can also try to join telegram F5 Study Groups , always they have good study resources.

     

    Regards
