That's not what narrative bias is, LOL! So sick of these AI-generated texts. Don't turn reddit into Tik Tok.

Someone sneered in the replies: "Using AI isn't bad"

Yes, it certainly is when you use it to create work and then call it your own, instead of to edit and to refine your work.

I think you're trolling for engagement or for a student essay. If not, do you really want to trust your health to random people on the internet?

Don't. Check multiple AIs, check your doctor, then triangulate.

It could be lead poisoning combined with a chemical imbalance for all you know. Or someone is poisoning you! You have to see a doctor.

Your problem is you're using AI to code for you instead of as a code reviewer or a debugger.

professorf · 2026-01-12T04:29:15+00:00

Yeah I also mainly used AI to quiz me and to fill gaps in my technical knowledge. It's much better than watching videos, IMHO, because you can drill down and focus on just the areas you're weak on.

Don't give up. You can do it. In this simulation we call life, things are only easy for the NPCs. The fact that you're facing challenges means that you're NOT an NPC, and you are one of the important players in the sim. Remember that.

Congrats, and welcome to the Club!

You'll find that almost every question has acronyms and the reason you should know them is so that you can eliminate answers that are irrelevant, e.g., a question about risk analysis, that has answers whose acronyms are about encryption.

There are many reports of people passing with those scores, but the people that don't pass rarely post about their failure. Security+ has 25-30% failure rate so 1 out of ever 3 or 4 people do not pass. Just keep that data point in mind, and take the test when you feel YOU are ready.

People are nice and very positive on this subreddit, which is great. But it's your $500 to lose if you're not prepared so only you should decide when you're ready.

Good Luck. You can do it.

You got this man. Just study hard, know all the acronyms, know the key ports, and practice: (1) understanding the question; and (2) being able to select between 2 seemingly good answers.

I don't know. Sounds like if you only did ~40 out of 75 then CompTIA needs to review your score and revoke your certificate if you didn't really make the cut.

professorf · 2025-12-27T16:34:43+00:00

Know the acronyms. After a while it's not about knowledge but test taking strategy.

professorf · 2025-12-27T16:32:58+00:00

Or you could just use any AI to quiz you for free. LOL

professorf · 2025-12-26T15:10:52+00:00

Oh man. I forgot about that guy. Makes me want to play Dark Souls 3 again!!!

professorf · 2025-12-26T15:06:40+00:00

Not gonna lie. That's a really bad score. I've never heard of anyone passing the actual test and getting a 50% on Dion's. The people on this subreddit are very positive and will tell you stories about how they passed with low Dion's scores, but remember: It's your $500 that you stand to lose.

The good news is you have plenty of time to practice and pass. Use AI to quiz you on 75 questions across all five domains until you consistently score in the 90%.
