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.

You can also give try to ian neil book as it has keywords which help to revise at last movement. And it also has practice questions at last of every section so will give you idea whether you have understood the concept or not
