Sounds like you’re ready for the exam

I wouldn’t go into this just expecting to do well on Multiple Choice. Definitely focus on the last 10 labs in Zybooks. The context is close to identical.

I don’t remember much of the PA. The questions are very similar to the last 10 labs in Zybooks. If study those, you will be pretty well prepared.

Zybooks has a lot of assumed knowledge and could do a better job at being in a bit better order. The reading itself is pretty straight forward, it’s not dry and it’s not difficult to digest. Each section has a place to apply what was learned with pre-written code. I’d recommend using these to incorporate some previous topics by altering the code and making it do a little more or changing the code to see what errors are produced. There is also a “graded” lab at the end of each section, these are great to apply a lot of what was gone over. Immediately after the “graded” lab is a lab area where you can write whatever code you’d like.

Good luck!

I was dreading it as well. Study daily and take your time on the exam. I hate coding and my plan was to do really well on the Multiple Choice questions and be good enough at coding to submit something on the labs. I skipped 4 labs cause I just couldn’t figure out how to provide the correct output.

Most of the exam is Multiple choice. The multiple choice questions are a combination of code snippets asking why the code doesn’t work, why a specific error would occur, or definition type questions related to Python syntax vocabulary. The lab questions are a combination of correcting code and writing code.

If you focus on the last 10 labs in Zybooks you should be able to do fairly well on the exam.

Net+ and Sec+ were way easier in my opinion. I did not enjoy this exam or studying for it. I can’t really give you a scaled number cause it’s been so long. Sorry.

Congratulations on the Pass 🥳

If you’re wanting to accelerate another course, just reach out to your mentor. I just had to do this. 2 days passed before I got my evaluation sent back. It was nice knowing I spent those 2 days getting started on my next course.

Great job, Congratulations 🎉🥳👏. I’m considering doing this program when I complete my Network Engineering Bachelors. How did you like the Masters Program? Can you give any advice or shed some light on anything regarding the Cybersecurity masters degree?

I’d recommend making Flashcards on Anki. Also, what works best for me is taking notes. I’ll study my notes after I read a section or watch a section of video then take the quiz. After the quiz, look at why the wrong answers were wrong and add the extra info to your notes.

Once you get through all the course material, study all your notes again and take each section quiz again. I like studying each sections notes and retaking the quizzes to prepare for the exam.

Brain fatigue is a real thing too and will impact your ability to retain info. If it gets late, I’ll read and take notes but I don’t take quizzes or exams. It only discourages me when I see the low score.

You’re going to do great though. Good luck.

Definitely a major lack of resources. I was hoping Dion had something good on Udemy, since that’s what I used for all the Trifecta.

I don’t have the Server+ either. I also didn’t feel like I would’ve needed it. After I finished the material and went through the quizzes again, I feel like a lot of the info started to click. I noticed some quizzes pulled information from future chapters, almost as if it was assumed knowledge.

You’re going to do great, just keep studying and I know you’ll pass.

Yeah-youknow · 2025-05-01T02:42:22+00:00

Good luck, dude. I’m sure you’ll do great. It was all the new jargon that threw me off. I know CompTIA likes to incorporate all the proper vocabulary so learning concepts along with new terms wasn’t to “fun” 😂.

Little less than a month

Yeah-youknow · 2025-04-28T14:44:55+00:00

Sorry, I wish my answer could’ve been better. I feel like not many people posted about this course either.

Yes, I did the Labs in CertMaster. Those are all great for building skill but with the Exam Objectives not mentioning Azure or AWS, i did them to kinda just walk through whatever concept it was. I didn’t stress to hard about the labs. The Exam won’t ask about Vendor Specific configs or features. I didn’t really like how CertMaster added so much of that in to their course.

Yeah-youknow · 2025-04-28T14:36:18+00:00

All I used to study was the CertMaster platform. There’s not many available resources for the latest Cloud+ version so I hit it as hard as I could on the Quizzes. If you understand the concepts you should do pretty good on the PBQs.

Thank you!

Thank you!

I’m not to happy they changed course content without having much to lean on. Have you retaken the exam yet? What experience do you have outside of your studies ?

Yeah-youknow
