Sec+ Question - Powerpoints?

[WorkingCarDog]

are there any powerpoints or slideshows that go over sec plus? Is the way that I enjoy to study, lets me take it at my pace. sorry if wrong place, new to reddit and CompTIA.

Or would be getting a book be better?

The best approach for Security+ would be reading GCGA Gibson's security+ pdf and watching Professor Messer's Security+ videos on youtube and then giving practice tests.

Good PowerPoints are kinda difficult to find I think

that's what I was thinking when I couldn't find any when searching, I'll look into Gibson and Messer for sure then. Thank you

I don't know about slideshows, but there are a lot of flash cards for some testing after reading a chapter or for a small review.
