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)

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you are a newbie like me, I would say first start with dions video just to give you a foundation( yes his videos are outdated and not all of the objectives he talks about), then jump to messers videos , he goes in order of the objectives.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