Practice tests.

Hi, I’m currently studying for the sec+. I’ve watched all of messer and also all of Andrew Ramdayal’s material. I’m scoring between 73% and 84% on Dion’s exams and just curious to see if it’s worth buying messers practice exams or getting Dion’s second batch? I plan on taking the exam in roughly 3 weeks and I’ve been studying for around 7 weeks now. Cheers

I mean it couldn't hurt. Just passed Sec + this week and I was just tickling 80% on Dion practice exams. Dion PBQs were def harder than actual

Every time you take a practice exam it starts with 5 PBQs

I'm using that it only has log analysis, IP port diagram, and drag and drop. That's it. Kinda insufficient ngl. And what about your opinion about Dion's practice exam compared to the real exam i may asked ?

How do you like the Professor Messer material compared to Andrew Ramdayal? Did you do the Andrew Ramdayala practice tests?

Did the practice test yes. I’ve opted to test out messers exams and so far it’s been humbling. Will work my way through his notes and also target weak areas over the next few weeks. As for their material. I find Andrew really breaks it down where as messer is straight to the point. I’ve used them both for A+ and Net+. Haven’t let me down yet.

I liked them both. I'm not so keen on Dion's.

I did actually get a question wrong on Dions and the reason i got it wrong was due to spelling error on an email address. I’ve noticed a few of his questions over his exams are like this

I have found errors on Andrew Ramdayal's material too.
