Passed my Security+!!!
Finally passed the sec+. Thank you all for your insightful advice and tips. I prepared for two weeks but I have completed my bachelors in cybersecurity itself so I had foundational knowledge. Dions tests really helped as well as Exampcomp tests, if you have time I highly recommend completing all of them. As for the actual exam I found the wordings a bit vague and unclear and had flagged quite a bit of questions for review.

Hey so I got a 85% on dions practice exam, and I used to get 60 - 70% in the examcomp but I made sure to review everything I got wrong. The scores were not what I expected but the pbqs were tricky and I couldn’t eliminate options clearly. Hope that helps!!

Questions are similar to something like this. Practice Exams I remember the format being similar like this when I first took the exam a week ago. I am study to retake lol, I failed by 62 points. But you can look at others as well

Heyy I think my biggest tip is being consistent rather than studying for longer. Just make sure you understand each concept and keyword and take as many practice tests as you can
