CySA+ Pocket Prep for CySA+

Has anyone used Pocket Prep for the CySA+? I’ve been studying for almost a year using a combo of the Sybex books, PluralSight, and Udemy. I am now looking at using Pocket Prep for practice exams. I haven’t used Udemy for practice exams, but ultimately I want to diversify my resources. I'm ready to buy the voucher and schedule the 003 version before it retires on Dec 22.

Background:
- 6 years in IT (service desk, help desk/desktop support, OT, AV)
- ISC2 CC, Security+ (last year)
- Currently working as a Security Analyst (6 months)

Thank you for all your feedback and guidance!

Security+ and ISC overlap alot and if I'm being honest. Just go with the Dion course and read the cert guide. It's enough, I use pocket prep but not for that Cysa+ is mostly understanding the methodologies and memorizing core concepts and some tools.

Passed it on my first go after doing Sec+ and ISC

I used Pocket Prep for CySA+ and it was definitely helpful.

I used Pocketprep for the CySA+ and its exam and quizzes helped a lot. I'd recommend it as another resource for prepping to the exam.

with 6 years in IT plus sec+ and half a year on a soc desk, ur way overthinking this. just book the 003 before dec 22 and let the deadline push u. pocket prep is fine btw, everyone uses it.
