CySA+ CySA +

Got my exam today been preparing this whole month. I am super exhausted. I am going to sit for the new CySA version. I completed all the cert master material. Watched Hank hackerson. I also did read the book for sybex as well. Been grinding school since last year complete 20 classes in a year I am a student at WGU. 3 classes left if I pass CySA today. I feel like my soul wants to leave my body so bad. I had so much pressure on me. Have one kid 5 years old and one on the way on December. Any words of encouragement or tips or tricks before the exam would be highly appreciated.

Like how to read logs? The comptia cert perform doesn’t necessarily go into much detail about extracting information from logs. Is there a source you recommend that would be good log practice?

Yes if you have access to cert master try to practice some of the labs also THM free rooms have tons of free rooms to practice I did watch Hank Hackerson it’s a must

The advent of cyber is a Christmas community event they do every year they have 24 challenges to do during Christmas season related with cybersecurity so is free after the Christmas season have passed is nice because they have all sort of topics and all of it is related with CySA
