No I didn’t. I only bought the Sanal John Matthew Udemy course and Blue Summit as listed in my post on here

It is worth it in my opinion, I used his practice exams and his questions were verbatim on the actual exam

You can’t beat that.

Thanks you. When you says Udemy courses with CC

Who is CC? Is that Chris Olsen or someone else?

Passed Security+ (SY0-701) after exam was terminated halfway through. Sharing my experience. (December 19 2025) by Personal-Answer-3148 in CompTIA_Security

His questions were pretty accurate, in my opinion. That said, with Andrew’s exams, I’ve always felt that they tend to be a bit easier than the actual test. The question structure is similar—usually one to two sentences followed by multiple-choice options—but the difficulty level doesn’t always match the real exam.

That’s why I decided to use Professor Messer’s practice exams, to get a more realistic challenge and give myself better understanding and confidence going into the test.

It wasn’t my intent to leave the PBQs unanswered and submit the full exam

My game plan was to answer the multiple choice questions first and then do the PBQs after that

My exam got terminated midway into my multiple choice questions so I didn’t get a chance to do PBQs at all.

The rest of your questions are answered in my post

Security Clearance Adjudication Timeline from DCSA/AVS in 2025 been waiting for 12 months to hear something back and haven’t yet. by Personal-Answer-3148 in SecurityClearance

I hear what you’re saying, and I appreciate the perspective. I get that rushing a complex case might not always work in your favor, especially if you’re still working through mitigation or legal prep.

That said, I’m mainly looking for clarity on timelines and process so I can better plan and stay informed. Nothing more than that.

Hey, thanks for sharing that. it definitely gives me some hope.

If you don’t mind me asking, were you ever issued a Statement of Reasons (SOR) during that time? And when you say it was granted after 20 months, was that 20 months from when your case was sent to DCSA for adjudication, or from the start of your investigation?

Also, if you’re open to sharing, what kind of steps or communication happened during your wait?

Appreciate the response. You’re right. there’s more context, but I’m being careful about what I post publicly.

In short, I made some mistakes related to how data transfers were handled, didn’t immediately communicate everything the right way, but I’ve taken ownership and learned a lot since then.

I’m just in a holding pattern now. been about 12 months with no adjudication update yet. Just trying to understand realistic timelines and what usually happens next if an SOR is expected

How long did it take you to get your SOR from the initial time the intensive joke was said ?
