PenTest+ Pentest+ Practice
TLDR; what to do if you feel like you’ve hit a threshold with all things / scenarios applied, and follow through to ensure success.
So im back a few months later, a refined structure and approach to this exam, ive been using Virtual Machines, Dions Practice exams, different OS’s on oracle VM manager (i am getting consistent 80s or above my max score / PB is 83%) my lowest in this range is like a 76.
I do want to point out a few things, I note take and watch videos alot, like to the point where i turn my phone off and just study for like an hour or more. i study at work, on break at work, after work and i reserve my practice exams for weekends.
I also want to input that i do have documented memory loss short and long, so i have to compensate for the amount of things that i have in my pentesting rolodex in my head. I love this field, i wouldnt want to do anything else in devops or red teaming. I guess my question is what do i do now? i feel like i have hit a threshold with my practice exams and considering the Questions shuffle everytime, there is no way my brain can predict all the randomness for 90 questions, i’d say my strongest domains are 1-4, my most troubling right now is 5, which leaves me at a 70% on that domain for completion.
i guess my question is what should i do next to ensure my success.
Thanks.
