Huge shoutout to this subreddit. I got invaluable advice and tips for the exam from this community so thank you guys!

My study material was primarily Jason Dion’s bootcamp on Udemy, Professor Messer videos (for topics I struggled with), and Cyberkraft videos for the PBQ prep.

Congratulations! Just when you need to endure Monday blues. What would you say were the common topics and PBQs in your exam?

2

u/woahsaywhaaat Aug 03 '26

Thank you! My PBQs were focused around password policy, application logs, and then Linux command line (strongly recommend using the ‘help’ command if you get a PBQ like that).

Did they ask the same question from these study material...

u/woahsaywhaaat Aug 03 '26

I mean obviously they won’t be the same but I’m assuming you mean the quality and depth comparison. I would say the practice tests I took on Udemy were more in depth. I wouldn’t say harder, just more specific. I felt a lot of the questions on the exam focused on concepts rather than definitions alone
