"was lowkey dreading the power budget and loss calc stuff but the practice questions on opticalnetworkexam.com actually mirrored what showed up in my head during the theory assessment. didnt feel blindsided. still had to grind the project part separately but this got the theory side handled."

"procrastinated on studying for like 3 weeks then crammed the chromatic dispersion section the weekend before. honestly surprised i passed. the mistake review feature showed me i kept mixing up dispersion management with PMD, fixed it just in time."

"wasnt sure a multiple choice site could actually prep you for connectors and polarity questions but it did. went thru the mock sets twice, second time scores jumped alot. still nervous going in but it wasnt a surprise once i sat the real theory part."
