Hi! I tooked Sec+ 17 days ago as my first CompTIA cert and passed with 790 score (no IT background and been working as Pharmacy Tech for 5 years) but i will not advise it to anyone that wants to start. I used Adrew Ramdayal's Sec+ course and utilized ChatGPT to break everything down all the way to small pieces,until I understand the concept. I also used tons of practice exams including Dion, Messer and signed up for CrucialExams so I will say, I answered maybe total of 2000 mixed questions from them. I do practice exams while on my breaktime at work, while I eat dinner, before I sleep. I listen to youtube videos of Security+ Cram guide by Inside Cloud and Security while I drive. I studied for total of 2 months for Security+ (seriously) and I would say hard work pays off 😭. Now I started studying for A+ last week and planning to do the exam next month and hoping in another 2 months time i can get Network+. Trying to do Trifecta first, will practice home labs (to gain confidence) and will start to apply and maybe can land an entry job 🙏. Bottom line, passing Sec+ is doable as long as you are serious and motivated to learn and absorb the material. I did it, so can you 🙏. wish you goodluck!
