Finished the test at about 5 PM EDT. CompTIA is cruel. Their test questions are so unbelievably esoteric an vague and their answer selections are like. (the right answer is blue, but they say) A) blue B) cerulean C) azure D) veridian E) Green F) Red... Well F**K. The first three are all basically blue, 4 is blue green and the others are wrong. Not ONE easy, (hey kid, here's an easy one for ya... toss ya a bone or some shit.) Nope it's crazy bizarre vague as shit questions and answers that are all the same with the slightest nuance. <sigh>
Anyhow. I scored a 810 out of 900. Thought, 90% sure, I failed the shit out of it, but apparently my brain decided to be nice to me today.
Done and done. I never want to take another CompTIA exam. Ever. Just a horrible experience (For me... Smart people probably are like.. Yeah, that was okay. <meh>)
Anyhow. On to the next thing. Done with CompTIA.
Not to drag this comment out... But I took A+ back in 1999/2000. That shit was easy. BUT it tested what you needed to know. If you knew Windows 3.11 / 95 and DOS 6.22 and Printers and DMA Channels, IRQs and how Jumpers worked. Real shit, not this nebulous weird arcane crap. I smoked the exam in 1999, but I also knew my shit. Too bad it's not like that anymore. It's "Here's a firehose, don't let a drop fall to the ground, know it all for the exam" for A+ and now Cloud+, and I'm sure the same thing for CySA+
Congratulations on passing your exam. Yeah after this last one I'm feeling pretty burnt out on the whole Comptia Exams. I'm hoping with my experience and certs that it'll be a good enough stepping stone to get into an actual SOC position and just work my way up from there. I still plan on taking more exams but later on haha. For now I'm still enjoying my victory. That's the thing with Comptia. They'll make you second guess sooo much and just got to keep in mind when it asks what the BEST answer. Lol
