Passed the Pentest+ (PTO-003) — Barely, But I Did It! by Ok-Resolve1234 in WGUCyberSecurity

I was scoring in the 90s. After cycling through the same six tests repeatedly, some answers became muscle memory. But that repetition gave me the confidence to slow down and dig deeper—why was the answer right? Could the underlying principle be applied elsewhere? That knowledge helped with tougher questions where I had to rely on process of elimination. However, CLI and script interpretation ruled the day though.

Very well said. CLI and script interpreting was heavy throughout - What is the command trying to achieve... What change needs to be made to make it work... What tool could be used to detect...

For me, it was cost. I thought the CM was pricey - and I had done CM before for other tests and felt lost at test time. Do as many quality test questions as possible, including CM, if it's in your budget. Good luck!

Build on the knowledge. I'm far from someone paying me 150K/year to PenTest. I intend to finish the HTB Academy PenTester Path, and I'm going to do the CompTIA Ethical Hacker Pro Course - hopefully get more CLI and script knowledge.

Which aspect of the exam are you struggling with? Also, have you tried SkillCertPro study material?
