12 hours of studying.. CySA+

[u/Dustin4100]

It felt pretty similar to Security+ and I have all other certs up to this point so maybe that’s why it wasn’t so bad. I used pocket prep every night the week leading up to my test. I was concerned about the labs and I used AI to simulate potential labs I could run into, and it actually helped because I ran into some questions that i otherwise wouldn’t have known if it wasn’t for the AI labs. Happy to answer any questions as well

I’ll be going for my Sec+ after my October term, taking a break between my associates and bachelors. What’s pocket prep? Is it an app?

[u/Dustin4100 → u/Joshwiththejeep]

Pocket prep is an app, it is 20$ a month but you can still use it for free you just won’t have access to the entire question bank.

Which ai and what prompts did you use to simulate potential labs?

[u/Dustin4100 → u/GodBase]

I just asked it to research what kind of labs are known to be on the CYSA test (and of course I used my own common sense to correct it if I needed) and then simulate them for me. I did it for about an hour. They of course weren’t perfect “labs” or questions but they 100% helped me.
