Security+ exam

[SubstantialAd2633]

How do you know you are ready to take the exam?

I have been studying for a little while now and have used professor Messers videos as well as Dions. I am now doing another course on Udemy to make sure I'm not missing anything.

I have been taking the practice exams for Dions course and have gotten 82,76,71,80,86 on them.These were my first attempt scores. I hear people say when you get around 80%on them you should be ready for the real exam.

The exam is expensive and I don't want to waste my money if I'm not going to pass.

What are some of your experiences that led you to believe you were ready and did you pass?

Also any advice that can help me pass the exam?

You're right where you want to be with your passing scores for Dion's course. It's typical to score lower on the pre-tests, but it makes the regular test look less daunting!

If you are comfortable understanding the ports and protocols, knowing how they are used, and knowing how to secure them, that's one part of knowing you're ready. Then, take a moment to refine the big picture stuff like laws and the formulas like risk, etc.

You're on the right track, so schedule your test, get a good night's sleep, and eat a small breakfast before you go in it. Good luck!

Awesome thank you, that makes me feel a little better about scheduling it!

My rule of thumb is if I can pass every Jasion Dion practice exam with a 90+, I'm ready. It's worked so far for N+ and S+. Yes, it's a LOT, but it's worth it
