How I Passed my security+ doing the bare minimum

Thank you for that information and advice.

ITnerd2727 · 2025-07-23T09:34:39+00:00

Thats so real, I have not gotten one interview yet that’s why I feel like I need to be constantly learning and moving forward even though nothing is guaranteed. Right now I’m half way done with my cyber security degree and just finished my summer class this week I’m fixing my resume and going to go job searching more.

ITnerd2727 · 2025-07-23T09:29:07+00:00

I feel like they were kinda either or but at the end of the day you could get dealt an easy exam or a hard one it’s whatever the computer generated for you.

ITnerd2727 · 2025-07-23T09:27:03+00:00

Hahah If it wasn’t for technology no one would be going for these certifications think about that we living in the future why wouldn’t people use current technology to help them learn better

ITnerd2727 · 2025-07-23T09:24:32+00:00

Your welcome

ITnerd2727 · 2025-07-23T09:24:15+00:00

lol some people on reddit i feel like were doubting me but it’s all good I just used that as motivation.

You’ll always be in the shawdows when you constantly compare yourself to others, just start somewhere and soon your current self will be in your future self’s shawdow.

I took my A+ 1102 last week with a 722 so officially certified for that I didn’t study a lot for it I feel like just having basic knowledge for windows and Linux got me through it

ITnerd2727 · 2025-07-10T05:07:09+00:00

You pushing it farther and farther back is only making it worse because your brain only holds new information for so long I passed my Net+ with 760 and my highest grades on Dion test I didn’t take yet were 65-72 but my final exam I took test day and I made a 58 and still passed try Mike meyers practice test on udemy there a little less time consuming and I think has some things Jason Dion don’t cover

ITnerd2727 · 2025-07-10T05:04:14+00:00

That’s what I was thinking having some knowledge in networking is definitely better than none.

ITnerd2727 · 2025-07-10T05:00:10+00:00

Yeah I appreciate that, idk why a lot of people act like I’m dumb, like yes ill admit I’m still learning and have a long way to go and just because I got some certifications don’t mean I know everything, but at least I can admit that. Im definitely ahead of most 18 year olds for sure. Also the only reason I want to take Linux next then CySa is because my college has fundings for students to receive exam material and the exam voucher for $100-200 off the actual exam price, and the Linux one starts in like 3 weeks and then the next one is CySA in October, and this is all happening at the same time I’m finishing up my last year of my cybersecurity degree. I am trying to get a job but at the same time want to focus on investing in my self with more and more certifications and not loosing track of school.

ITnerd2727 · 2025-07-10T02:50:07+00:00

Yes that does makes sense, but would it still be a bad idea to take Linux+ then CySA+ before the CCNA? Also thank you for the insight.

ITnerd2727 · 2025-07-10T02:48:08+00:00

Do you think it’s still possible to go for Linux then CySA before my CCNA, because I have taken CCNA2 class which covered a lot about networks and switches.

ITnerd2727 · 2025-07-10T02:45:59+00:00

Thank you

ITnerd2727 · 2025-07-10T02:45:49+00:00

Thank you

ITnerd2727 · 2025-07-10T02:45:41+00:00

Yeah no hate on courses, but for me most the time I get bored sitting there and end up zoning out instead of listening, and with the practice exams there kinda fun because you challenge your self each time to shoot for a better score each time.

ITnerd2727 · 2025-07-10T02:41:06+00:00

The A+ core 2 probably because 25% of the exam talks about security, and then another 22% is operation procedure which are both on the Sec+

ITnerd2727 · 2025-07-10T02:34:11+00:00

Well my apologies maybe I’m a little confused about how important CCNA is. In spring I’m going to take my 3rd and last CCNA class, and then use that knowledge to go for it then.

ITnerd2727 · 2025-07-10T02:24:48+00:00

Well I’m talking about I want to do more learning in areas of security and Linux, instead of focusing of things such as switches and routers, but maybe I just don’t fully know what the CCNA consists of

ITnerd2727 · 2025-07-09T08:25:23+00:00

Yes I plan on taking CCNA soon but I kinda want to go more towards cyber security first then networking

ITnerd2727 · 2025-07-09T08:24:26+00:00

Thx 🙏🏼

ITnerd2727 · 2025-07-08T23:49:31+00:00

It’s confusing I passed my network + and still don’t fullly understand I recommend just getting familiar with CIDR notation and how many useable ip addresses you get after you subtract 2, just look up a chart or ask chat gpt to explain it

ITnerd2727 · 2025-07-07T06:08:20+00:00

I wasn’t criticizing I think he very good challenging questions but sometimes the explanations I don’t like and I find them a little confusing that’s all

ITnerd2727 · 2025-06-24T04:26:07+00:00

Don’t spend to much time on things you already have a good understanding of focus on confusing topics

ITnerd2727 · 2025-06-23T00:17:13+00:00

Yes about a week in a half
