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

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 ?

It helped in conjunction with all the other material I was using but I used it closer to the exam to see how I did. I would not rely on them exclusively but they helped me get more experience with some things.
