It may be assumed that candidates who win an election don't need to go through the intense exam in order to do their jobs.
If I am right then that would explain why she was so unbelievably careless. She never did learn how to handle secret information.
One of my first jobs was working as a geologic technician at Texas Instruments. I was required to go through a series of security clearance training sessions because I was going to be assisting the geologists while they worked on government contracts. And I had to take an oath not to reveal anything.
I don't think Hillary ever went through even something as minimal as I went through.
I have a family member who has a top clearance. What he had to go through to get it was very thorough. He told me that he is really amazed about Hillary putting secret stuff on her personal computer. He said that he has nothing on his personal computer. It is against the law to do so. How he accesses the secret stuff is that they have one designated computer. You have to sign in so they know who is handing the secrets and you have to have the appropriate clearance in order to access the designated computer.
People who have went through the anal exam in order to get their top clearances are mystified as to how Hillary was able to access secrets on her homemade server.
She actually deserves to be in a maximum jail just like the spies who did so much less for way, way less money.
She probably never lost her security clearance from being SOS. I’d be surprised if she did.
Really quite simple. One of her minions at State (or perhaps Huma) just bridged the air gap. Yes it's a violation of protocol, but so what? She's Hillary Clinton! "What difference, at this point, does it make?"
Hillary had to go through the training multiple times, each as a Senator, then again as Secretary of State.
As I understand she did indeed sign the document where she certified that she understood the procedures, would take special care, and understood the penalties for revealing through either intent or carelessness.
She was very aware. It is a system designed that 17-year-olds off the street can follow it. She chose not to.

She had her staff copy from the secure system, and post into her home server. There’s even an e-mail where she explicitly instructs them to do this and strip the markings, then send it to her. IIRC, she was in Russia at the time.
