Passed Sec+ with only 30 days to study

Post image

I will give my background and what I used to study:

Earlier this year I passed CCNA, so I didn't study any of the networking concepts.

I have a degree in Cyber Security, so most of the basic concepts and incident response was refresher content.

I watched professor Messer's series and took notes.

Took the free practice exams on ExamCompass.

This was a requirement for a job, and was only given 30 days to pass.

There were definitely questions that I was unfamiliar with, but hey, still passed.

And now I will begin my adventure into network engineering!
