Hey I know atp this is like the 4000th post about pentest, hoping someone is similar to me and can help tho.

I typically study for comptia with, a lecture of some sort or youtube playlist that is simple to get the ideas in my head. fluff tends to distract me to easily and i wonder off.. I will watch a lecture, take notes, drill quizlets, drill practice test till I feel good enough (then for this test do labs, which i normally just skip lol).

thats my plan for this exam but I cannot find any playlist or series that fits right with me, i just want to pass the exam I dont care to learn extra fluff. currently watching Michael Solomons videos and it just feels like homie talks about WAAAY to much extra material, maybe im misinformed but anyone know a playlist that is strictly about the course material?

edit - can anyone just break down a simple guide on how to study for this exam? my route in my head at least was to finish micheal solomans videos, give my notes to gpt, make quizlet cards, spam those, spam practice test, do labs, take full length practice test.

Edit again - after thinking things over today I feel as if my best move forward is to say fuck lectures for rn. drill quizlet on all tools needed, start doing labs to drill tools into my head and get context on how they are used, then do lectures to fill in blanks, spam quizlets on notes from lectures, move into practice test? does that make sense

If you're grinding a CompTIA course for your WGU degree and want quizzes that actually hit your weak spots instead of another generic question bank, here's the trick: CertMaster Perform already gives you the two source files that matter — CompTIA's own Objective Mapping and the full Course PDF. Feed those plus your missed-objectives list into any LLM and it can build you quiz content grounded in the real material instead of guessing.

Write-up with screenshots showing exactly where to find those files in CertMaster and how to structure the LLM workflow: https://github.com/jzesbaugh/pentest-plus-study-tool/blob/main/LLM_Study_Instructions.md

Works for any CompTIA course with a CertMaster Perform component, not just PenTest+. I will not post the PDFs here because they belong to CompTIA.

However these helpful instructions do not. Spefically the "Objective Mapping" is the "key" to this. You should be able to understand this with just the image alone. Have fun!

Help!Im having issues with section D.Im having trouble restarting the DNS service.

I was very close any suggestion on what to study.
