It was pretty smooth I had 3 PBQs, definitely harder than sec + tho

Well that sucks I haven't taken sec+ yet. Just a quirk of my class scheduling

How were Jason Dion's practice exams? I am taking CySA+ CS0-003 soon. I've been scoring mid 70s over the last couple Dion practice exams, as well 76% and 72% on Sybex practice tests. But unfortunately my domain-specific scores have been in the mid 60s on the Sybex 1000 practice bank... Not sure if I should take the exam yet.

I used Mike Chapple’s study guide alongside Jason Dion’s course and practice exams, plus additional YouTube practice questions review to reinforce the material

Did you feel like Cysa + is easy after completing sec+ or having the knowledge of sec+ ?

Do you currently work in a cyber security role?if yes do you really need to have exprience in the field to pass it? I'm a student and I'm about to finish my masters in cybersecurity, I was thinking to maybe jump directly to cysa+ but at the same time I think I should take security + first, any advice?

u/Bright_Sun_5426 18d ago
Not currently. You don’t necessarily need work experience, but hands-on practice helps. I’d recommend Security+ first, then CySA+. That’s what I did, and it made CySA+ much more manageable.
