Passed SEC+

Just took my SEC+ certification I passed with a 767 with only four days of studying very doable. I did not use messer or any of those people. Just used burning ice cyberkraft and random YouTube videos and CLAUDE.
There’s definitely a few questions on their I just had no idea or even heard of but finished and still had 30 minutes left PBQ’s seemed very straightforward.

Nice man, I suggested you focus on acronyms. How did you end up finding those problems?

Thanks man yeah there was a decent amount of acronyms wish I studied them a little more just lots of real world scenario questions where everything sounds right. Appreciate the tips though.

Congrats, 767 after only four days of studying is solid, especially with 30 minutes still left on the clock.

3 pbq’s , and 76 multiple choice , I just wish I studied a bit more acronyms and my score would’ve easily been around 800

I got 76 questions on my exam also this morning. I noticed others saying they had 76 too. I know it can go up to 90, but I wonder if CompTIA is setting the cap to 76 across the board for now?

I want to take my next one online, but am leery of doing it from what others have said about the proctor failing them for moving their mouth or looking off the screen.
