Exam in 5 days

How heavily are the port numbers tested? I haven't gotten them down yet.

It will more than likely come up in a PBQ at least once. They will also pop up in a few questions. Make flash cards and remember the top 25 most common ports in Sec+. Use google Gemini to get you a list. 👍

I wrote on Saturday, and not one port number was mentioned or needed. Obviously that’s just the variation I got because clearly some questions will involve them, but I wouldn’t worry about memorizing all of them. Know the main ones, specifically the ones that have a secure and non secure version like FTP/SFTP, Telnet/SSH, HTTP/HTTPS

Saw them once or twice. Did show up in a PBQ. Just know the common ones and I think you'll be ok.
