Hey everyone! I'm about to wrap up my Level 4 Network Engineer apprenticeship and I'm gearing up for my End Point Assessment (EPA) in October. I'm wondering if anyone has any advice or personal experiences to share about the exam? Specifically, do you know if the Packet Tracer lab has enough faults to keep you busy for a full 7 hours, or will they expect you to take notes for a significant part of it that you'll be questioned on later? Thanks in advance!

I just took the simulated lab assessments a couple of weeks ago. You’ll definitely have enough time to get everything done, so don't rush! Take your time to really understand what’s required. When making config changes, make notes to explain your actions; they'll ask you about everything you did later. I found that day 1 was easier than day 2, which was pretty intense! Just remember, there’s a lot of room for your approach, and it’s all about understanding your solutions and reasoning behind them. Honestly, I didn’t feel fully prepared from my apprenticeship material, but having the CCNA really helped me in the assessments!
Thanks for the insight! Quick question—did you have any IPv6 topics in your assessment? Also, could you share some troubleshooting scenarios you encountered?
