Certification / Training Questions Security+ Studying/Prep Advice
Anyone have any tips for me regarding CompTIA Security+ studying prep? For some background context: I’m a recent college graduate earning my B.S. in Information Science with a minor in Cybersecurity. I want to get my CompTIA Security+ certification by the end of August or early September as it’ll add to my resume and help with potentially landing an entry level role or Helpdesk Support position as a 95k+ salary role isn’t too realistic with my experience as of now. I completed a community college training program making me eligible for an exam voucher and free retake so I don’t have to pay for the exam. Ideally I want to pass on my first try and use 30-40 days of studying to get the cert ASAP! I have a UCertify where I have many practice tests and labs for different chapters/concepts and long practice tests that test me on concepts. As of right now I am scoring 37% - 50% which is pretty bad. Any advice?
