I’ve Successfully Failed the F5 Certification 201-TMOS Administration Exam

Yup, you read that right. I did not pass the F5 Certified BIG-IP Administrator test I took while at F5 Agility 2017. And I’m not ashamed since it was a challenging test and I will be trying again...

Interesting, I think is the first time I see numbers about the certification. Questions I have after reading the numbers, and my possible explanation.

 

1 - 101 fails higher than 201

 

I guess people just try to 101 without too much study, and they realized that work is needed. This why they go better prepared for 201.

 

2 - 301a and 301b

 

Interesting, people normally are more scared of the 301b than 301a. In theory, this proves that 301a is easier than 301b.
