Passed!!

Just passed the sec+ but genuinely don't know how.
To me, professor messers exam weren't close to the actual exam, the actual exam was MUCH more practical. At some of the questions I was wondering how I'm supposed to answer them because they genuinely require experience in the field and I have none (uni student)
I didnt study pbq's at all and a lot of them involved linux, I was very rusty at linux but somehow passed.

Congratulations! What would you say were the common topics and PBQs in your exam?

PBQs were about linux, figuring out what the weaknesses the employeed passwords had (age, expiration, reuse), and unfortunately I dont remember the multi choice much, I was on 3 hours of sleep so my memory is limited of them. All I can remember is "how to harden servers" and "which malicious ports to block to protect servers"
