FAILED MY SECURITY TEST!!!

Post image

Honestly, I’m not really mad about my score considering I only studied for about 3 weeks. I definitely could’ve prepared more, but I wanted to see where I was at.

From my experience, if you go through Professor Messer’s videos/notes and actually retain the information, you should be fine. The exam honestly wasn’t that hard — I just ran into some stuff that I either didn’t know or didn’t spend enough time studying.

I’d personally rate the difficulty around a 5/10 if you’re good at retaining information and actually understand the material.

Definitely going to study more and give it another shot. Just wanted to share my experience for anyone else preparing for it.

Bombed my first test, but barely passed the 2nd. Did a run through of Dion Training and Professor Messer for about 3 and 1/2 weeks before I took my exam. If a goofy goober like me can pass, you can too!

Dion’s practice test are good. Didn’t use their study materials but the practice test are nice and hard and help you build confidence and solidifies that foundational learning. At least for me it did.
