    I just passed my Security+ with a score of 890! Your tips definitely helped me.
    Suggestion : Examcompass tests have lots of incorrect answers and also lacks explanations, so I felt very confusing doing them. I also completed several practice exams from S-killcertpro for a week which I feel very accurate and reviewed their exam notes the day before the test. Nearly 80% of the questions were from these sets.

      Great to hear, I am currently studying for it too and I find the exam compass tests quite sectioned on particular topics. Also Professor Messer is tedious to get through.
      Curious, what resources did you use and find most useful? Thanks

      @connorschachow3833 The mock exams provided to me from my bootcamp, chatgpt and Quizlets for the 701 that random ppl made.
      I also used youtube watching ppl analyze and answering the questions for over an hr. I'll do the google cybersecurity for fun and givr the code to either my classmate's first or sale it for dirt cheap if possible.
      Oh I like Udemy I plan to go back and finish the 40% to completion.

    I did the Google Security Certification (i Took my time with it... 4.5 months to complete) and then jumped to Comptia Sec+ and already paid for it. with the Retake just incase. From the study guide 1-3 sections so far seem pretty easy when it comes to security controls, social engineering, threats and vulnerabilities. But I know I lack confidence. I am having a kid in 6 months (wife is very pregnant) so the pressure is everywhere.. I hope everyone who is taking this certification keeps going and don't give up, you got it.

      The only way I as able to grasp these concepts so fast is because I had a lot of previous related knowledge. If you're coming into it fairly new to IT its very normal for it to take much longer (3-6 Months) to fully learn.

      I would say about 90%. No course will have 100% since nobody really knows what will show up on the test at the end of the day. Using the course objectives will get you very close though. Definitely use multiple resources while studying for the exam.
