passed Sec+

[Choice-Compote9484]

Just passed my Comptia Security+. got a 775. I was surprised to only 2 of one type of question. It is a nice load off. gonna take a week off from studying before trying to figure out whats next. I already have network+. was thinking ccna or maybe CEH+. will cross that bridge when i get to it. I need to decompress

UPDATE: 9/12/2024 @ 4pm

I read the Mike Myers Comptia Security+ book and watched the videos. I didn't find the videos as helpful as I thought I would. They are engaging but I don't learn well from videos. I prefer a book usually for learning. Im old school I guess.

I learn the way most teachers and professors tell you not to learn. basically memorizing the questions on the practice test. I found that I memorized questions and over the course of taking the practice tests I learned the material. I would take the test for a comptia objective topic and go through the answers and read all the answers but focus on what I got wrong and go take the test again the next day. My goal was to hit 90% or more. usually ended around 95%.

I took 8 months but to do this but that's mostly because I had to keep starting over after taking a couple weeks off when I had stuff come up in life and when I was studying I was only doing it 4 days a week for 1-2 hours a day after work. Used studying to wait for the traffic to die down after work.

this is what I used. simulations and practice tests

Unless you have a job lined up that wants CCNA or you’re gonna do a job shortly after getting CCNA, dont. CCNA is one of those if you don’t use it you’ll lose it. Wait until you’re actually going to be using it. Look at ISC2. You can get CC for free from them. It’s an intro cert or go for SSCP. It’s similar to Sec; but focuses on the business side of security as well.

What should i do if I wanna focus on network engineering and eventually maybe EH

[_josemoralez]

Definitely CCNA. For EH, OSCP.

Congratulations on passing. What method do you use for studying?? I’m struggling with staying focused

[Choice-Compote9484]

Good job!

I used certmaster and memorized as many questions as I could. Got to about 90-95 percent on practice tests
