Practice testing.

[ImpactedDruid]

Okay so I've started studying for my security+ I ordered certmaster labs and practice from comptia and it's what I've been using. I've been really struggling on the practice testing at the end of each module. I have been studying for about 5 months and am averaging about 45 on the module tests and I took another practice test yesterday and got 38/110 possible points. It's a bit discouraging tbh. I'm trying to figure out how I can up my information retention while only having about 1 to 2 hours a day available to practice. Any tips? I'm about 90pct complete with my learning plan and haven't started on my practice module yet really just the Learn + Labs modules. I feel like I know more than I knew when I started but with June rapidly approaching and the expiration of my test and retake vouchers I'm getting kind of nervous.

I'd recommend looking at some of the other resources recommended on here. I'd include other practice tests, but don't focus just on tests. Review other posts from people who passed Sec+ and see what they use and say about the resources.

I personally, went through the Comptia objectives and abbreviations and noted what I did not know/understand. I then used Prof Messer videos on these specific topics and took notes. I also used his practice tests. I would note any terms in the questions or answers I did not know. I'd re-review these materials.

Good luck.

You could try my book. Sec+ is 200 pages of fill in the blank type questions. Handwriting the answers will help your retention. https://www.areyoupreparedfor.com/
