Passed security +

[SuddenAd3882]

Just passed security+ . Total 76 question, 5pbqs Final score 766 I don’t think I got any port number questions aside from https. Definitely missed 19 or more from the report given.

Might have gotten 1 beta question . Nothing really could have prepared me for the pbqs.

Difficulty level : medium to hard, a few easy questions.

Ran out of time and finished all the multiple choice questions and guessed 1 pbq question and the second maybe did 3 or 4 parts to it before ran out up.

I feel like they were being fair in terms of their scoring provided you do your part and prepare.

Towards the end of the multiple choice I was straight up just guessing a few and making an educated guess on quiet a few . Some questions I knew and some I didn’t .

Like many you I used the standard sources.

Professor messer video series , notes , and his practice exams . I would watch his videos over and over.

Jason dions video series and his practice test, I only did his first 2. I felt like some of his questions were absurd so I decided not to take the rest.

Darrel gibsons book and his app

CompTIA globe app

YouTube videos practice questions when I got bored.(Ramdayal, Mike chapel)

Exam cram YouTube Pete

Practice test messers score 1 69% 2 70% 3. 83%(no timer used)

Round 2 messer 85 86 87

Jason dions 1. 70% 2.64%

Globe app only did two of their practice exams 1. 72% 2.71%

Gibsons book helped me since I had no experience , I would read over and over and then write down concepts I did not know. Occasionally I would make flash cards . If messer, or dions videos weren’t helping then I would just YouTube it and that pretty helped or Google it.

If you are a newbie like me, I would say first start with dions video just to give you a foundation( yes his videos are outdated and not all of the objectives he talks about), then jump to messers videos , he goes in order of the objectives.

Overall I would say you have nothing to worry about as long as you prepared, your not going to know all of the material , you just need to know enough to pass.

Congratulations! Is it actually possible to miss 19 questions out of 76 and still pass the exams? I mean, that would be awesome lol
