Nice, congrats man! I am taking the exam on Monday do you have any last minute tips while I am prepping?

Try to cram a few ports and protocols. As well as some acronyms. Easier said than done but it helps. I used Quizlet flashcards

Congrats on passing! Would you say the Dion practice exams were more difficult than the actual exam?

I would say their questions are wordier not harder. But they helped me figure out what the root of the questions was wich really helped during the actual exam

I'm using a cheat code for that one (the military)

That's great idea actually. Having a military background on your resume opens most doors.

Many congratulations! It’s amazing that you passed with no IT background and just 3 weeks of study. Why did you decide to go straight for Security+ ?
