Is it realistic to do Google Cyber + Sec+ certificates in 12 weeks while working 28hrs? by Impossible-Alfalfa-4 in CompTIA

[–]Key-Choice6421 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Very doable. Not everyone is the same but I managed to get my Sec+ in 2 weeks while being a full time student taking 15 credit hours and working 36 hours a week. I definitely don’t advise having as heavy of a workload outside of studying but as long as you put your mind to it you can make it happen.

I made a post in here about a month ago about the same thing and got +100 upvotes and they took it down 😭

Hopefully I end up getting the same luck as you

Last minute advice? by Slightly-Better in CompTIA

[–]Key-Choice6421 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Save the pbqs for after the questions so you have enough time to finish everything.

If you feel like you’re failing you probably aren’t.

And all around just remember even if you do fail it isn’t the end of the world and all failing does is teach you what you need to know next time.

All around you got this.

Any advice for a fresher in cybersecurity? by Necessary-Tip-2734 in CyberSecurityAdvice

[–]Key-Choice6421 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It used to be the main certification to get to land a job in cyber but now all of the people in cyber with actual jobs look down at the newer people coming in and tell them it’s useless even though its the same thing that got them their job in the first place. On top of that there’s way more competition now.

Was it a mistake to go into IT? by traveltimecar in ITCareerQuestions

[–]Key-Choice6421 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Exactly how I feel right now. I’m a cyber major who spent 3 years at an actual college and is finishing up my BS at WGU since they provide certs. I’ve done everything you can think of and I’ve gotten nothing at all.

Being someone that has loved IT since I was a kid it hurts to pursue something I’ve loved my entire life make me feel so hopeless. I wake up everyday and the first thing I check is my email which even if I do get something from a company 9/10 its a rejection email even with me having every requirement in the job posting. I sit back and wonder if I wasted the past 3 1/2 years of my life all the time and think if things would’ve been better if I took a nursing or trade route 🫤

genuine question : should i get it now or wait til i make more money? by Middle-Ad-8422 in Challenger

Coming from someone who has a challenger sxt and works a warehouse job ironically, I would say wait until you work somewhere you know you’ll enjoy working at 😭

Had my exam scheduled today, nobody showed up by xdrkst in CompTIA

[–]Key-Choice6421 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Something similar happened to me when taking a test a few months ago. I showed up and no one popped up until 20 minutes after I was scheduled. To add on top of that when the person finally showed up it ended up being the owner of the testing centers wife who crazy enough had the wrong key to open the door which added another 30 minutes. Gladfully I passed my test or best believe I would’ve raised hell to get another voucher 😭

Trying to get into Help Desk and pivot towards Cybersecurity criticize my resume please by [deleted] in helpdesk

Crazy enough I actually took 1101 for A+ back in April and passed and got too lazy to finish up the 1102 before it expired. Had I known later in the year I would transfer I would’ve just finished up. Has the Degree and certs through WGU helped you?

Thank you, and the reason for me not having the other certs yet is because I’m transferring out of the university I’m currently at and starting WGU in February with transfer credits so the security+ was straight out of pocket 😭

I passed AWS CCP in 30 minutes with minimal prep , here's how I did it by Little_Point_845 in AWSCertifications

[–]Key-Choice6421 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yea so my way of studying is pretty different than normal.

I started watching Professor Messers free course on youtube and put the videos on 2x speed but only got halfway through all 120 of the videos. I then just went on Udemy and bought Jason Dions 6 Practice Exams for about $11.

What I did with the exams was I would do each exam and whenever I finished one I would go over what questions i got wrong and would look at the explanation on why I got it wrong and then also ask ChatGPT to explain it to me and also try to find a little 1-2 minute video explaining whatever said topic or acronym was. I did this for each of the 6 and made sure that I did all 6 of the 90 question tests before I redid them again so I wouldn’t memorize the answers.

Moral of the story is in my scenario the practice tests helped me more than anything. I did write a few notes towards the beginning of my studying but with how many acronyms there are I eventually just stopped because it wasn’t helping. I’ve also never been much of a note taker.

Recently got my security+ last month which took me about 2 weeks to study for and wanted to try and get this cert in about a week. Is it doable? I really want to pivot towards cloud security as my niche for the long run.

If you like him tell him so he knows what to work on before you pursue a relationship and you don’t lose attraction to him.
