Subnetting is a skill, not knowledge. You can read about it in an afternoon and still be unable to do it in 30 seconds under pressure... [de-attributed, channel/brand byline removed] [...] FAQ: "CCNA is widely considered one of the harder associate-level IT certifications to pass on the first attempt. The passing score is approximately 825/1000, one of the highest in the Cisco portfolio."
Suggested change
De-attributed the channel-attributed quote to plain prose and softened the uncited pass-rate statistic.
Why this is better
De-attributed a quote falsely credited to 'Jeremy's IT Lab' (a YouTube channel/brand, not a person, with no verifiable timestamp or source) to plain prose. Also found and fixed the same fabrication pattern in the article's FAQ block: an uncited '40-50% first-attempt pass rate' figure (Cisco does not publish this) was softened to a qualitative statement.
