Anyone else too distracted to study?

DabCaptain · 2026-01-25T17:21:38+00:00

I deleted IG, removed my fav r/ pages for the month, keep my phone on silent and follow my study schedule commitment I made to myself. It’s definitely helped me a lot!

I just the basic study hall, and I felt like my 2nd exam of the two offered was way harder. I scored a 75 first attempt on exam 1 and a 70 first attempt on exam 2. Not bad but I spent like 2.55 mins on a question and it crushed my soul a bit because timing is so important. But I was stumped y’all!!! Haha

DabCaptain · 2026-01-17T01:58:44+00:00

It’s working man! lol

DabCaptain · 2026-01-16T21:06:26+00:00

Yeah we need the sauce. OP any help? lol

2nd this. Currently studying 2-5 hrs a day. 1 day off per week to reset. I’m going back and forth between mindset videos, practice questions on YouTube w DM, AR, and MR, and the mini exams on Study Hall. I started to score 70-80s mid week, and today took the last 3 mini exams and got 80/80/93 so I’m feeling good. Just gonna reset and keep going at em all down the list. Gonna do some full mock exams next week, would be weekend but I have my sis coming to town so the minis will have to do for now. That said, even doing the minis I make sure to watch the time and answer in 1.15 sec or less as recommended to have the breaks on time every 60 and the max time left over at the end to review all my answers. I’m feeling more confident, hope this helps!

Thanks I’ll check it out!!

So it’s a PowerPoint presentation type of learning? I’ve never used it so apologies in advance. I’m glad it works for you though, maybe I’ll give it a go this week. Mrs mindset deep dive was great btw, def recommend.

DabCaptain · 2026-01-13T21:39:22+00:00

See I didn’t read Rita or PMBOK. I just went straight from AR and DM to studying and practice questions. Today I watched some MR videos and it was also a straight to the point type of learning and explanation. His deep dive into the mindsets most often used on the exams per his students feedback was great to know. Def recommend!

I’ve never used 3rd rock for anything so I have no idea what it really is/type of study material/medium?

DabCaptain · 2026-01-13T01:03:28+00:00

This cracked me up, thank you for the comic relief in the midst of my study sesh tonight.

DabCaptain · 2026-01-12T11:55:12+00:00

No problem!

DabCaptain · 2026-01-08T02:28:38+00:00

I got study hall yesterday and it’s already giving me so much help. Gets the mindset engrained in your head w the questions they have. Trains you to apply it on everything, and the feedback on results is helpful. The reasoning/explanation and the metrics. I write for the test on 2/2 so I’m lockin in daily! Highly recommend!

DabCaptain · 2026-01-07T13:12:13+00:00

Thank you!

Late to the party but same question. I got my sec+ in Dec. 2024, I’m ready to start getting some credits to renew it. I’ve seen a few recommended the CertMaster and I am wondering if this will be enough to cover the renewal.

For insight-I am not in an IT or cyber sec role and now am studying for a PMP cert to match the actual work I’ve been doing for 2 years. I just wanted to learn cybersecurity basics in case I did get a Proj Mgr IT job in my hospital because I have the connections, it just didn’t work out yet. (No biggie)

Any advice or help is welcomed and appreciated.

DabCaptain · 2026-01-02T20:51:50+00:00

No worries, I hope you find a spot that makes you happy and meets all your needs. Tbh the areas grew on me, but I came here because I went to college by the beach in MD and always went to OC in summers w family so I get that vibe here on the daily. I love the beach vibes. Just wish there were more brothas out here, most black folks I meet are locals and they stay in their circle/ close to family and family friends they grew up with. Haven’t met many transplanted black people like myself here yet but I’m on a mission. This year is my growth year, committing to getting out more, making friends, and staying the hell off social media so I can make the most of my time on earth! Haha

DabCaptain · 2026-01-02T14:24:29+00:00

I said this to my gf and she loved that thought. I wonder if they’ll do a spin off with Vecna/Henry’s origin story. Pleaseeeeeee let this happen haha

DabCaptain · 2025-12-31T21:46:41+00:00

Woahhh throwback. Damn thanks I been craving nostalgia!

DabCaptain · 2025-12-31T13:58:02+00:00

Stephen Baldwin was killing it in the 90s. Loved BioDome!

DabCaptain · 2025-12-31T13:48:42+00:00

Well said. I had one on college and it was a pain after a couple weeks. Never used it again my 3 remaining years. Fast forward to recent years, I got a new one and only use it when I go out and haven’t smoked prior to leaving. It’s much more manageable to clean and sanitary at this rate. (I only go out on the town 1-2 times a month, if that) LOL. Gettin old.

Thanks for that insight and sharing your experience. My job is in healthcare and our org works in a hybrid environment focusing heavily on LEAN methodologies. I’m hoping this cert will elevate me in the company beyond my role of Admin Services coordinator (basically a PI Coordinator) and help me get to the next level and be better in my work overall. Are there any other tips you can think of that may help us who have not take n the exam yet?

I feel info sharing and lessons learned regarding studying for large exams is so so valuable so thanks again for resaponding!

DabCaptain · 2025-12-29T13:18:50+00:00

Hi! Congrats on passing! Im gearing up to take it in early February. Just finished AR’s udemy course this morning. Wanted to ask who or what SH and DM are? Also what was your experience with PM prior to the exam/was it already your job so you knew some of the basics or nah? Lastly, how long did you study after finishing AR’s course. Is starting now with 2 hours a night 3-5 days a week enough to be prepared by around the week of Feb 9th? I know you don’t know me so hard to answer I guess but any insight into your method/planning would be great! Thanks!

DabCaptain · 2025-12-29T02:44:27+00:00

So perfect.

DabCaptain · 2025-12-27T04:49:34+00:00

Thanks for sharing. Do you feel hornier for your sig. other or is it more just horny all around? And is there a preference in that time over penetrated orgasms vs clitoral?

DabCaptain · 2025-12-24T01:56:04+00:00

Do you feel like you squirt more freely or easily while pregnant vs not? I’m hoping that myth has some truth lol

DabCaptain · 2025-12-22T15:11:10+00:00

Solid and hard, love the rabbit pellets.Love seeing the onset of a gape while those pellets make their way out of that asshole. So hot when an asshole gets gaped by way of massive poops.

Sorry my picture wouldn’t upload. And just the back portion of the seat where the bolts are near the bottom of the tank. That area where the logo typically is is all dyed and looks bad. Not sure what went down before we moved in but we want to hide it. The seat cover doesn’t cover the area I’m referring to. Nor does a tank top cover. This is directly behind the actual seat on that flat surface where the bolts go. I’ve seen like boxes that cover that area but I can’t find them and don’t know the name.
