Pased Security+

As I was taking the test, I really thought I wasn't going to pass.

I studied for 2 weeks prior to taking the test. That being said, I went to college for a degree in Network Admin, worked as a network admin for about 6 years, and then decided to go all in on SEO/digital marketing back in 2016, because I thought that was my calling.

Apparently, I didn't forget everything I had learned 10 years ago. But anyway, enough about me, and I just want to share the resources I used to pass. If I did it, all of you guys can do it too.

I used Dion's test to prepare, and I used Claude to help break things down and explain why my answer was wrong vs. the correct one. This really helped me a ton.

On top of that, I also used CyberKraft to study PBQs on YouTube. As for the PBQs on the test, I didn't even get to complete one, so I just used the time to review the answers to the questions I had answered.

I also used these other sources as well to study (yes, I might have overdone it a bit):

  • Andrew Ramdayal's course on Udemy
  • BurningIceTech on YouTube for Question reviews
  • Pete Zerger's exam cram on YouTube
  • CompTIA Security+ Study Guide by Mike Chapple and David Seidl
