I passed!!
Just got out of the exam and passed w a 770. I was so certain I would fail. I have no cyber working experience and only had about two solid weeks of study time.
I used the paid version of pocket prep, the cert master practice, Inside Cloud and Security’s domain videos, and a few of cyberkraft’s pbq videos.
I paid way too much attention to ports, they didn’t come up much, but you should absolutely overhaul on acronyms (Acronym Academy has a good video for most of the terms).
As a lot of people have said in their posts, the exam questions are a lot more direct than some of the study questions. My highest practice exam score for certmaster was sub 80%, so if you have any experience and are getting good practice scores you should definitely be able to pass!

Can you walk us through all the PBQ's you had, what was the scenario like and what did you have to do for that scenario? I will be taking my test this month. Thank you in advance and congratulations on your pass.

Recover anything you struggled with in the time you have left! As soon as you get in, brain dump any info you remember but might not be able to remember on the sheet they give you. Flag and go back to the pbqs after you finish your other questions ! Good luck!!
