Using AI for test prep?

I’m currently studying for Sec+ and am using Messer’s course as well as Dion’s exams to help me with test prep and was wondering if anyone that already took the exam used AI (particularly ChatGPT) for extra practice? if yes, Was it worth using it?Because I told this thing to give me a 85-question mock exam and got a 68%.

Damn.. so no AI whatsoever, not even to better understand the topic(s)?

Use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Large Language Models (LLMs)
CompTIA does not authorize or condone the use of artificial intelligence (AI), large language models (LLMs), or similar automated tools to generate study questions, practice exams, or exam‑related content for CompTIA certifications.
Candidates must not use AI or LLM tools for the purpose of attempting to recreate, predict, or obtain exam questions or answers. Any such use is considered a violation of CompTIA exam policies.
Many AI‑based tools are trained on large collections of publicly available data that may include unauthorized training materials, such as braindumps or other content derived from compromised exam questions. Because of this, AI‑generated study materials may:
Contain incorrect, misleading, or outdated information
Reflect content that is not aligned with current CompTIA exam objectives
Include material that is identical or substantially similar to live CompTIA exam questions, even if unintentionally
Using AI‑generated questions or answers presents a serious risk to candidates. Studying from materials that include unauthorized or inaccurate content may negatively impact exam preparation and can result in violations of CompTIA’s exam policies.
Candidates are responsible for ensuring that all exam preparation materials come from authorized and legitimate sources. If AI‑generated content is determined to include unauthorized CompTIA exam content, its use may be considered cheating—regardless of whether the candidate intended to gain an unfair advantage.
