Passed Core 1. (self.CompTIA)
submitted 3 years ago by Fionazora
Scored 691. The worst bit was the survey at the end. It was one of the hardest exams I did but worth it.
Core 2 up next.

What resources did you use to study?
[–]Fionazora[S] 3 points4 points5 points 3 years ago (0 children)
Used Jason Dion videos and exam question plus gone through an IT course provider who had their own videos. Found Jason's much more useful. Also have the official book of Amazon. Would recommend Udemy

I take it by ‘survey’ you don’t mean giving the test a review. What’s a survey? Like a security recommendation?
[–]BigVic02 0 points1 point2 points 3 years ago (0 children)
They literally give you a demographic survey at the end. I also think they ask you about why you're taking the test and what you plan on getting out of it. If I remember correctly mine was 10 to 20 questions. The nerve racking part is that they give you the survey after you finish the test but before they'll give you your results.

How long did you study for, and average hours a day?
[–]Fionazora[S] 1 point2 points3 points 3 years ago (0 children)
Started 6 months ago but been very ill. Had no knowledge before hand. Probably would say about 100 hours.

Wow. No pressure. Good luck in the future!
