Hey man thanks for this video! It’s funny because the multiple choice questions I felt were fairly easy, but I took a ton of practice questions to be prepared for that, the PBQ’s killed me!!! I’m pretty sure that is the reason why I failed 😅, and it sounds like we had the same exam, because the PBQ’s of the threats and how to mitigate them I had absolutely idea, and you said it was easy, how did you prepare for this part of the exam? Thanks brother for any help 🙏🏿
Hey, for the PBQs I would look at the Video from Cyberkraft on Cybersecurity/Malware attacks as he provides a pretty good description for each of the types of attacks and the type of malware you would typically see in various scenarios. That helps along with just making sure you understand the types of attacks mentioned by CompTIA on the objectives. Outside of that, I did encounter a few practice questions on both examcompass.com as well as Jason Dion's practice questions on Udemy that went over the different types of attacks. If you get questions like that wrong on either platform, do some research on the attacks that you aren't sure about and you should be fine. Also be sure to never leave any question blank if you can. You get partial credit for answers you get right even if you didn't answer the entire question correctly for both PBQs and the questions that ask for you to choose multiple answers.
@@bentech2023 Well, I was working an IT Support Engineer role for an MSP but I just got terminated last week... I'm looking to make a jump into a systems administrator role within the next couple years... But now I need a job simply to pay bills... Smh
@@Conviction454sorry to hear that. That’s one of my fears leaving my stable mid level income job to pursue the high salary job in IT that may not have job security.
So for all 3 CompTIA exams I never once had 90 questions. It was always in the high 70s but I know people who took the exam and had 90 questions. CompTIA specified that the exam can be "up to 90 questions" but that doesn't necessarily mean you'll get 90 questions.
I didn't take his exams, just Jason Dions and watched all of Messers videos for review. The questions on the actual exam are definitely easier than Dions exams.

Thank you! I’m planning on taking the exam in about a month. What job are you currently doing that you don’t like?

congrats, I finished my Google Cybersecurity cert and looking to take my security+ in the next couple weeks
Congrats. This isn't really a difficult test. Take 2-3 months to study and you'll do fine
I’m confused as to why you didn’t have 90 questions. Did you run out of time or was that the max amount of questions Comptia gave you?

Did you take professor messer 701 exams? Do you know if they were comparable in difficulty?
