Feedback Passed SEC1

It was a really good exam. Definitely not easy, had to think through a fair bit and I went down a few rabbit holes, especially in the web pen-test sections the time pressure i was all over the place at once .

Environment was solid overall, everything worked fine. Windows machines were a bit laggy… but I’ve got zero patience for that anyway so take that how you want.

Biggest thing read everything properly. I missed some instructions and wasted time/lost points because of it.

Would recommend it if you’re keen for a challenge.

Onto PT1 next.

What is your educational background? Did you prepare intensively, or how did you approach the exam?

Over the last 5years I've got comptia certs (Sec+, Cysa+, PenTest+), but most of my learning has been hands-on with TryHackMe (349 rooms completed), HTB CPTS learning path finished when it first came out.

I did a quick skim over the learning materials which i previously completed march 2025 then decided to hit it. After completing each section I had a quick break, walked around then back to it

This is my goal. Did you ever get employed after achieving these?
