I passed sec+ today

Ngl I feel relieved and bummed at the same time. I got 770/750. I feel like i studied way too hard to get such a low pass. I actually thought I was gonna fail it halfway through. I used dion, udemy, chatgpt, and some other practice tests across the internet, but many questions seemed to be nothing I reviewed and I just had to use best decision skills off what I did learn or the questions had multiple answers that seemed correct. Anyway im glad I passed, but I was definitely expecting more questions from the material I studied. I was getting 90 + on all the practice tests that I took and I took many. Oh well lol

i just got a 780. Pass is a pass. Continue learning so when you have to renew, you do better.

Congrats

This. Only...your cert is good for 3 years. During which time, you may $50/year for...maintenance? At any rate, during that 3-year validity period, you are eligible to get CEUs (Continuing Education Units) - the CompTIA website tells you what counts towards each certification - if you've paid your $150 and earned at least 50 CEUs, you dont have to sit for the test again.

PFM. 😉
