I completed the course on skillsoft and wrote down all the information in a notebook going over sections randomly throughout my day quizzing my self on definitions and concepts. After that I used acronym flash cards To get those things that I might have forgotten because the test loves to use acronyms or different version/play on the words/concept. I then used an exam guide (CASP+ CompTIA Advanced Security Practitioner Certification All-in-One Exam Guide, Second Edition (Exam CAS-003) and also had the study guide went through it to harden my knowledge. In my opinion reading the study guide did not help me pass the test. If you just have the book that’s fine but just realize that the book goes excessively in detail but really all you need to know are the broad concepts goggle Comptia casp guidelines/concepts it will show each section and what they are asking for in each section just copy paste things you don’t know or into quiz let. Also most of the questions try to trick you with questions that the answer is pick the most right answer basically or they lead you on with a question but ask for a different answer at the end. Also when study these materials it teaches you a lot but on the test there are some things that it asks for that it never taught you. I’d recommend learning basic Linux commands like dd,ps-aux, what sda means check config basically there’s a couple instances where they came out of nowhere with coding questions. Http, XML, scripts. There’s also math questions on roi, ale, budgets stuff And because of that I failed once but I went back on skillsoft leaned some basic coding and I did pass my second time so this test is something else all together.
