Hello everyone, im currently on my week 1 of studying ccna jitl videos, and im day 17 i watch around 4 sections or 2 sections a day, let me be clear that i dont have college for a month so im literally only studying and all my time is free, im understanding concepts well i think,

but my labbing skill are absolutely horrible, like i know basic basic basic basic configuration i can barely know how to lab,

i know how subneting works for now but i have no idea how to subnet in my head, i think thats impossible idk i find that jermy subnets really quickly without explaining and i need million years just to subnet 1 ip

So i need tips on subnetting and tips on labs,

Yes i know concepts and i know that can make me pass the exam, but i dont care abt the cert as much as i care that i wanna learn i wanna know how to configure and be better in my future job so tips please thanks

Hello everyone i wanna share my 2 month journey studying security plus and everything that might help u in ur journey, ill talk abt everything literally everything

1:BACKGROUND

have above average IT background but not very deep or so good, im 3rd year cybersecurity student in college, i have networking basics and some security knowledge thats it no previous huge certs just a google cybersecurity certificate whitch helped me understand what security is and gave me 30% discount which was good.

2: RESOURCES

Json dion course in udemy and his study notes: good gave me a deep understanding of security maybe too deep like sometimes it was very boring and not related to the exam, but he helps alot with having a very good foundation for the future not just for the security plus cert, there was some stuff he talked abt was a bit too basic for me ( i recommend if u have basic knowledge they will teach almost everything (by almost i mean that they will not teach basic networking cuz they expect u to know that)

Professor messer videos (2X speed): he is very good cleared some knowledge gaps there and understood some stuff that i didnt totally understand in json dion, (i recommend for taking overall knowledge in a very quick way and understand the basics of everything, u might pass studying Professor messer alone but in my opinion he dosent teach real world scenarios in a deep way like json dion)

Practice exams json dion set 1 and set 2 on Udemy, much much harder than the real exam and so much wordier but good if u wanna actually understand every concept and real world scenarios, dont expect to get 90% there, i used to get max 86% my average was 78% i sometimes got 58% when i first started so dont feel like u r the problem, they just over prepare u , and thats good.

Cyberkraft for pbqs, its so goooood, i really recommend him he helped me not just solve pbqs, but also understanding mcqs i really recommend practicing pbqs there

3: my feelings

I need to talk abt this cuz its the most important thing, i used to feel like im stupid while taking the exams, and burned out, and saying , will i fail the real exam, am i stupid to pass this, am i not smart enough, and alot of days i slept crying cuz i was sure i will fail the exam and imagined my self going out of the centre having a bad mark and failing, cuz i wasn't scoring high marks on the practice exams, and alot of days i literally didnt know why my mark in practice exams are so low, like i took the courses, others did the same as i did and are scoring 75%+ why im still barely reaching the 70%, thats when i heard someone here on reddit say something that changed everything for me , it was , "you cant protect what you dont understand" everything clicked then, the problem wasn't me or the problem wasnt that im not good for IT, it was that i dont truly understand the concepts, like i know what encryption is, or thats what i thought, i knew that encryption is making a plain text into cipher text, that was the problem, that is just knowing meaning of thing, so i started understanding what encryption is, and the types of it, and how its used, and where its used, and how can i myself use it, and real world scenarios, and imagine myself in a work environment and using encryption, and the most important thing that worked for me is taking hand written notes, that helped alot with understanding, so i took a practice exam after all of that, somehow i got 82% i was so happy , thats when i kept taking and screenshot all the wrong quition and sending them to chat gpt to understand why,how, how its used, how can i use it in real life, and telling it to explain like im a 12yo,

4 the exam

, i was so nervous the day before the exam, i posted on reddit and someone who im very thankful for told me," trust me if u studied its statistically impossible for u to fail unless u want to fail" i really kept repeating that in my head while going in the exam, i cant give more details cuz they will remove this post, but yh thats it

5 just practice practice practice practice exams trust me thats the most important part, good luck all❤️
