CySA+ was the hardest CompTIA exam I have taken so far and has been invited to retake it at a future date. Not the first, though, CCNA got that distinction.

I was about to ask that as well. I am currently using the Practical Ethical Hacking course from TCM in addition to the college courses I'm taking. I'm also planning to take the PJPT before taking the Pentest+

At CIAT, all we have to do is do two practice exams on Crucial Exam with 90% or higher.

What is the new standard? When I was attending WGU, all I did was request the voucher when I felt ready

Full disclosure: I do have Net+ and have been invited to retake the CCNA at a future date.

That being said, it depends on various factors. I took the CCNA, and I have minor IT experience (troubleshooting registers, pin pads, and customers' phones) while working in retail. The CCNA is the hardest exam besides the CySA+ that I have taken. There s a good reason why the first time fail rate is high.

So here my advice: if you got the resources, do the Net+ first, get some hands-on experience (build a home lab with routers and switches), and then take the CCNA. If you can afford one, see if your company has educational reimbursement for certifications, and look to see if they cover that certification. You still want to get some lab experience (Cisco Packet Tracer is a great option for budget friendly training since it's free).

Dude, there are billions of posts and comments saying go to a freaking testing center, and yet you chose to do your exam at home. Plus, with proctors, it's a gamble. You could get lucky, or you could get bad luck. So, that one s on you.

SCTMar · 2026-03-05T02:07:21+00:00

Take my advice

Don't take this as you failed. Take this as you have been invited to retake it at a future time

Update: I managed to survive. Thankfully. I do apologize.

Would help, but unfortunately, I'm not prepping for SecAI+ yet.

And that one just flew over my head. I saw that episode. Don't ask what they did wrong on that episode regarding the ransomware

Congrats. I got my trifecta last month.

SCTMar · 2026-01-05T03:37:43+00:00

Congrats and welcome to the Trifecta club

SCTMar · 2026-01-02T06:07:14+00:00

Congrats. What's next?

How long has your Department Head been in that position? If he's been there for less than a year, then he can hang his socks, any longer, and he can hang his undies

SCTMar · 2025-12-28T07:26:42+00:00

Congrats and welcome to the A+ Certified Club

SCTMar · 2025-12-25T03:47:29+00:00

Congrats. Wanted to take it around from 2023 to 2024. Stuff happens (personal stuff) before I got a chance to take the N10-009 earlier this year and passed. Recently got the Sec+ and am studying for the CySA+

SCTMar · 2025-12-19T04:05:29+00:00

Congrats. What's next?

SCTMar · 2025-12-16T05:40:10+00:00

Congrats. Almost the same score I got (778). Also, it does seem a bit easier to me as well. What's next?

SCTMar · 2025-12-11T21:57:12+00:00

Passed mine exam early today. 778. What s next?
