I cannot agree more to all of the comments on this page. I think next to the 303 ASM exam, 301b is on the same level of difficulty. My advice when asked about strategies on this test include:

 

  1. Know how to read tcpdump and ssldump captures.
  2. If you don't know the answer right away or have doubts, mark it and move on. Honestly if you don't know it pretty quickly you probably won't know it, but don't give up.
  3. Practice, practice, practice on a VE ahead of time. It's worth it.
