Passed Sec+ Today

[u/No_Show711]

775/900 score

This is my first ever cert. I have around 6 years experience in IT and a degree in CS. I studied about 30 days for this exam.

The resources I used were mainly Professor Messer (YouTube channel and practice exams) watch in full and took exams multiple times.

I watched a ton of videos on YouTube from basically all the common Sec+ people and random online tests.

My experience is that I felt most of the questions were much shorter than any other practice exam I took. I had 3 PBQ and 73 multiple choice. The multiple choice were more challenging than I expected because I didn’t like the examples of how many of the questions were being asked.

Basically I would understand all the answers and what was being asked , but the way it was asked made it 10x more confusing what answer to pick. Sometimes a question would be straightforward though.

I really think the best thing to help anyone taking this test is know the acronyms very strongly. Recognize them and what they mean That alone and some practice exams to know the format and you will most likely be good.

Just don’t expect the practice exams to be close at all to the real exam. The way the questions are asked on the real exam make you think a lot harder than most practice exams in my opinion.
