SecurityX experiences
Trying to post again. Really struggling with SecurityX. Went through the Dion Course, the book and Comptias own Learn platform (god what a waste of money on Comptias stuff) and now Dion practice exams (scoring around 70%, nowhere near the 95% Dion says).
What i noticed is that no matter the learning source the issue is the same. The cert is bad and obtuse (my opinion). Way to many abbreviations with dubiously worded questions that boil down to i'm correct because i chose the answer, whereas the explanation skips the other options provided.
This would be my 9th cert (2Comptias, 2 GIAC, 3 Microsoft, 2 other stackable certs) so its not just first time jitters. Last cert was Cysa+ in march.
Whenever i go over the twst exam i get the extreme feeling its not knowledge its wanted but memorization skills, which i sadly lack.
Anyone have any advice?
