N+ Question Network troubleshooting domain

I studied for n + for 2 months and did practice exams all the different 4 domains has improved by the 4th practice exam except network troubleshooting I don't know when to just follow comptia's methodology and when not , when to go for the physical solution and when not to

so does anyone have any tips for it

Lastly I am stuck at 77% in Andrew Ramadyal's exams and Dion's exams am I ready for the exam ?

the troubleshooting domain is tricky because real world and exam world are totally different. in the exam you gotta stick to their methodology even when it feels pointless, they test if you know the steps not if you'd actually do them in order

for physical layer stuff the giveaway is usually in the wording, if you see "no link lights" or "cable unplugged" or someone just moved equipment you check physical first, if the problem started after a config change then you skip straight to that

77% on those two is a decent sign, their questions are harder than the actual exam by a bit, I'd say go for it
