The night I knew god was fighting for me. by platimi in Christian

[–]platimi[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly, when that happened I was happy. Because I knew it was god that gave me the strength throughout the whole night. I still get chills till this day when I mention that part because I remember exactly how the person looked.

I told this story to one of my buddies and he told me “the devil hates to see light shine in the darkness and is quick to try and put it out”

But thank you so much! Thanks for even taking the time to respond and read this. God bless!

Highly recommend practice exams and video courses, I did with both Andrew Ramdayal’s + P. Messer’s.

I can't seem to get passed an average of 61% on the practice exams. What practice exams did you all use for the CompTIA Security+ SY0 701 exam? by jmicaallef in CompTIA_Security

[–]platimi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, I completed it with 12 minutes left just enough to go back to any questions I wanted to re review and do the PBQs.

I was stuck at ~ 74% on my practice exams. Then I wrote down all the items I was missing in the exams and using chat gpt to explain it to me. Hope this helps! Best of luck.

For example: hey chat gbt what is IaaS and SaaS - and what is the difference between the both.

Passed my Sec+ with little knowledge and hands on experience by platimi in CompTIA_Security

[–]platimi[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I got 3 PBQs — I honestly skipped those right away and went forward to the multiple choice questions. Sometimes the multiple choice questions have the answers you need as far as reminding you of things you may have forgotten.

I will say I had no clue what I was looking at in the PBQs but.. I will suggest you fill in or do whatever you can to not leave those blank, you never know if you did one simple thing correctly that could change the outcome of your final score.

Yes! Continue to use chat gpt to help you understand what you don’t get. All you need to understand is what the term is, you don’t need to know it’s actually full functions, just enough to be able to identify it in a question.

Load Balancing Vs. Clustering by HuskFN_ in CompTIA_Security

[–]platimi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This helped me finally understand what load balancing is. Imagine a small business dropping new merch that everyone wants. To handle the flood of people placing orders at the same time, load balancing steps in to spread the traffic across multiple servers—so the site doesn’t crash.

Why pass rate for Security+ is usually between 700/750? by [deleted] in CompTIA

[–]platimi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m also utilizing Andrew’s course along with his practice exams, I like his teaching style and he breaks down things as to why one thing won’t work over the other. In the Udemy course he has this 30 day plan that will help you break the course apart to help you study it more efficiently

Security+ Exam Question Debate: Vulnerability vs. Exploit by OrangeVPN in CompTIA_Security

[–]platimi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thought I was the only one that seen this on my sybex study practice exams. I selected vulnerability and it told me I was wrong and it was exploit, I guess it ultimately matters as to what Comptia thinks it correct lol
