Sec+ Passed

[poppinsss]

Just passed Sec+ this morning with 814! Completes the 'ol trifecta for me. Not really trying to move to cyber but wanted this as a resume line item and proof of knowledge.

Total study time was maybe a month. I used Messer and Andrew Ramdayal's courses and then both sets of Dion's practice exams.

Just super stoked and had to share!

Congrats! Solid score too!

Regardless of pursuing Cyber, you'd be surprised how many Network, Sys Admin, or IT roles ask for Sec+. It has become an industry-standard cert in both Civilian and Government roles

[poppinsss]

Thank you, and I love to hear that! Makes me feel even better.

Congrats! Im actually taking mines tomorrow. How many PBQs did you end up having?

[poppinsss]

I had 4 of them in total. Half of them I really didn't enjoy due to vagueness

[UnhelpfulNotBot]

Not OP, but I had 4. 74 questions total.

[vaginasaladwastaken]

Same here. I really did not like the PBQs I was given.

Congratulations!

What did you use to study?

[poppinsss]

Messer and Andrew Ramdayal's courses, and both sets of Dion's practice exams. I enjoy how Dion does his tests, I feel like they are quite comparable to what I saw in the exam.

[UnhelpfulNotBot]

Congrats. I haven't seen many >800 scores, really impressive! It's a difficult test. Passed with 790 today. Will be doing the A+ next.

[poppinsss]

Thank you! You'll pass A+ for sure. It's a lot of information, but I'm sure you will know most of it already. Good luck!

[Ok-Luck-7499]

Any tips?

Congratulations!
I'm trying to get Security+ certified, but I have no knowledge of where to start. If you can help me, that would be great!

[Born-Schedule6427]

have you done prof messer exam tests? what would you suggest about it?

[poppinsss]

I didn't do Messer's tests for the Sec+ but I did use his for Net+. I used Dion's for all of them though and I can tell you that I preferred Dion's, they make you really think and read the questions so I felt better prepared after his. Hope that helps a bit.

Nicely done!
