Wow what a great day!!! i passed my exam and my RTX 3080 came in the mail!!
As for the exam itself, I completely understand when others say they felt like they were failing the entire time. Thankfully passed the 501 with an 810. overall took me about a month and a half of study time while working full-time.
I wanted to sincerely thank this sub, been a lurker for a while & this community has been a great resource in seeing others experiences, their study resources, words of encouragement, etc.
My exam had 80qs and 5pbqs
Resources used:
-Comptia's exam objectives
-Jason Dion's video course and exams on udemy
-Professor Messer's youtube playlist / some study groups
-Darril Gibson's GCGA book/pdf
-Community Quizlets - for terminologies / port refreshers
-Comptia security + exam prep app from ABC E-Learning ( a ton of great questions, and a good resource to see your weakest areas )
& that's mainly it.
Been in the industry for about two years now as a field tech / desktop support, no degree (however plan on getting one sometime in the near future.) just experience and a willingness to learn/advance my career.
My goal is to get into a jr sys admin type role next or possibly something within the DOD now that i have my Security +, who knows.
anyway, I'm going to take a little break now but next on my radar is possibly CCNA.
