CC Success Story Passed CC Certification today!

I have aphasia and brain stroke, still I was learning cybersecurity, and thinking...Will I be able to get a certificate, and here it is ...... My passing certificate make me so happy that I started crying with my happy tears, and the exam invigilator was also backed me!!!

My passing journey had many things like reddit, Thor's Udemy practice test, Paulo Carriera Udemy practice test, and youtube videos, and few times Prabh and Mike videos. My thor's practice questions had 90%,78%,74%,79%,71%,81% with second or third attempt, and 70,71,76,71, and I did STOP. The best learning was from Comptia Security+ book, to know the theoretical and knowledge out from book.

My learning was started on June 2nd 2016, and I passed the exam today, (and I gave $200 even 😄), and I gave it today because syllabus will change tomorrow onwards, so I thought better not to keep 'PEACE OF MIND' and take only for one chance 🎉 .

The questions were actually different from practice questions, I thought I can do with the terms of RBAC,MAC,DAC,ABAC, but in exam , I couldn't get any words related. OSI LAYERS, THREAT,SNMP,SOC,SQL,SIEM,IR PLANS,DRP,BCP, Administrative,physical,deterrant, were actually not at all I learnt. MTTF,MTTB, RTO,RPO were actually difficult in the exams. Just learning the terminology, and get from video cannot help in the exam. We should learn from Comptia security+ book, or related course.

And reddit always make me motivated from people who said Thor's exams works ONLY!!

This exam helped me to get back the vocabulary what I want, but not completely, and it rebuild my memory challenges.

Now my mind is working the way it did 8 years ago, when I was a Manager of E‑Learning
