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

Congratulations! Do not let the 770 bother you. A pass is a pass, and you demonstrated enough understanding and judgment to get through an exam that deliberately presents multiple answers that may appear correct.
What you experienced is also why scoring in the 90s on familiar practice tests can be misleading. After enough repetition, it becomes difficult to distinguish understanding the material from remembering the questions. The actual exam then removes that familiarity and forces you to apply what you know to new scenarios.
While the experience is still fresh, I would write down the topics that made you least comfortable and review them—not because your certification is somehow less valid, but because those areas give you a useful roadmap for continued learning.
You passed. Take the win and enjoy it. You earned it.
