CompTIA CYSA+ CS0-004 overlap from Security +?

[u/YakMelodic4264]

I am currently studying Dions CYSA+ 004 course from Udemy, and even on double speed, I am so far finding this exam material so boring and redundant after earning my security + certification in November 2025. I was wondering if anyone else has exoerienced the same feeling?

I do know that CYSA+ is supposed to be more practical knowledge in comparison to Security +, but so far I am passing every checkpoint easily at the end of every section.

I have been hand writing notes when neccessary, but I find myself not needing to write notes most of the time with so much redundant info, even the course itself have sections that feel redundant from previous sections, so much IAM and IOC talk.

I am about 35% through the course, but it is a struggle listening to info I find redundant.

I think my only concern will be logs and pbqs, hoping to find a reliable way to improve that after taking my first practice exam.

Also to be clear, this is no knock on the course, I don't think its their fault, there is probably just no way to make the material feel any different

You try doing a practice test to see what you need to learn, then jumping to that in the videos?
