Just passed✅✅

Honestly it wasnt that hard but you gotta be prepared for it to the point you can explain everything and know exactly what each thing does.
What i used to pass:
Proffesor messer videos
Dions practice exam
Messers practice exam
Messers is closer to the real exam but you also need dion because of how easy it is to navigate the website and write down each wrong answer.
The PBQ that i had was hard honestly nothing prepared me for it it was a simulation that i had to type commands to mark the vulnerable ports i honestly just skipped it all together and didn’t do it just did the other two and they weren’t as bad
but at the end i PASSED!!

Passed Security+ SY0-701 today — 773!
Just passed Security+ this morning with a 773. Passing score was 750, so I’ll happily take it.
I started seriously studying for Security+ around August 18, right after passing Network+. From Aug 18 through Sept 1, I basically treated studying like a full-time job.
My main resources were Professor Messer, Jason Dion, Andrew Ramdayal, Dark Bird Tech, CertMaster/Labs, and a lot of AI-assisted drilling of anything I was weak on.
My practice scores were mostly in the high 70s/low 80s. I got 81% on Andrew Ramdayal, and toward the end I was getting 43/50 on Dark Bird Tech, often knowing the answer before even seeing the choices.
The last day I focused a bit on PBQs, networking/security troubleshooting, and Windows/Linux commands like ipconfig, ping, nslookup, netstat, ss, ps, kill, and nmap.
And apparently I needed that practice. 😂
I got 3 PBQs on the actual exam and had to leave one completely blank. I simply didn’t know how to finish it. I honestly wasn’t sure I passed when I hit submit.
Then I saw:
PASS — 773
Biggest thing that worked for me was not memorizing individual missed questions. Whenever I missed something, I studied the entire family of related concepts and learned why each alternative was right or wrong in different situations.
Security+ done. ✅
A+ ✅
Network+ ✅
Security+ ✅
Now on to the next Project+ & CCNA

I used LinkedIn Learning the most, along with Professor Messer’s videos and a lot of practice questions.

Haven’t decided which cert I’ll be going after next (Currently looking at CCNA/RHCSA), but very excited to have this one in the bag.

Very surprisingly passed Network+ this morning.
First CompTIA exam and found the wording of questions a little confusing, especially pick the best option which came up several times.
Anyway onwards to Sec+ in a couple of weeks.

Leading up to the test, I was nervous. I had put in the hours, reviewed the material, worked through practice exams and PBQs, and trusted that the preparation would be enough.

Then the exam started.

As I worked through the questions, I caught myself with a huge grin on my face because the answers were starting to pop out at me. The concepts I had spent so much time studying were finally clicking in real time.

That feeling made all the hard work, discipline, and consistency worth it.

Not long ago, this career transition was just a dream. Now, with every certification, every skill, and every milestone, it is becoming a reality.

Security+ is another major step toward my goal of moving into the defense sector and pursuing opportunities that can lead to a security clearance.

One more goal checked off.

I am looking for someone that has recently taken Pentest+ (PT0-003) can give me their opinion regarding the best practice tests to use for this certification.

I currently have free access to Jason Dion's Practice tests in Udemy via my employer. Do I need to get Pocketprep as well ? Jason's tests seem kinda easy to me from what I have worked through so far.

I am also using the Sybex book and its questions as well.
Thanks all.

So as the title suggests I’m having some confusion on how to prep for the network+ exam. Ive been doing certmaster practice and certmaster perform and I’ve pretty much completed them. My question is how do the practice exam questions on those platforms compare to the questions on the actual exam.

I found a guy who posted practice exams on GitHub based on what he claims to have faced when he took it. He posted it only four months ago but I’m not sure how valid it is. From what I can see though the questions seem far simpler than the certmaster exams. There’s even a ten question practice exam on the Comptia website that seems to follow the same simpler questioning.

Are there gonna be perform labs like on the Perform practice exam because in the certmaster practice exam there’s none.

I’ve started watching Professor Messer and he seems pretty good. I guess my question is should I keep doing those practice exams or just watch Professor Messers videos? Or Both? Any suggestions would be great as I’m planning on taking the exam this month at some point. Sorry if I rambled on a bit.

I’m going through the Comptia Tech+ learn material and it seems like it’s missing things. I got to the chapter 1 module quiz and there were questions that was not covered in the material. Also, each section seems very short. Is the learn material supposed to be paired with a book?
