I tried looking for a clear answer and found none. My boss says yes but I don't want my sec+ to lapse.

If I pass in November, will my Sec+ that's due to expire in December renew?

Hi guys, I hope you are doing well.

In fact, I am preparing for the Security plus certification having already passed the net+ in January.

I would especially like to have your feedback on the preparation of the sec+, are there any of you who have managed to prepare it in 2 weeks?

If so, how did you take it? Any tips?

From time to time for just 1.5 weeks, I review a little the notions with the content of John Traning is professormesser

A+ done, working full-time shifts, WGU cybersecurity in progress. I keep going back and forth on this.

Half the advice I see says do Network+ first because Security+ assumes networking you do not have yet. The other half says skip Network+ as a cert, just learn the networking material, and go straight to Security+ because that is what the entry-level SOC / help-desk-to-security postings actually name.

For anyone who did this while working full-time: which order actually helped you land the first interview, and did skipping the Network+ exam ever come back to bite you? I have limited study hours each week so I am trying to spend them once, in the right order.

What's everyone's thoughts on the Jason Dion course on Udemy? I am trying to find a video course for this. My instructor said his course wasn't good but I can't find any other video courses. Thanks!

Hello I’ve been scheming through Reddit on how long it took people to pass the compTia courses and a lot of people say it takes about 6 months for one and I don’t have six months ngl I’m trying to pass net , sec and a by February Is that feasible I’m a 3rd cybersecurity student I have also started watching messers videos for a core 2

I need to renew my SecurityX certification and just discovered that there isn’t a CertMasterCE pathway for it. My employer doesn’t pay for any of the pre-approved trainings that have SecurityX/CASP applicable courses. I’m the only one in my organization that holds SecurityX, so I have no one local to lean on with guidance.

Is there anyone else in my shoes who has found a way? I’m starting to think my only way forwards is to retake (and pass) the test.

Recently passed PenTest+! AMA (within what can be answered)

For those who have relied on Messer's practice exams, would it be most accurate to weigh all questions (multiple choice + performance based) as one point each? Or can we give ourselves part marks for the performance ones? Just trying to gauge my total as accurately as possible to the actual exam.

I go to a vocational school and I’m currently studying now for my Net+ and Sec+ which I will be taking before the end of this school year. Unfortunately alike a large number of people in these fields I’ve seen Ai take over essentially everything. I feel as if I’m going through a mid life crisis just trying to choose a career path which I assume most people feel, but in today’s age the situation is just a little different with this unknown “Super Intelligence” upon the horizon. With that rant out of the way I feel I have two options, go to the Air National guard for cyber warfare, which would result in free college tuition. Or grind certs, build home labs, and attempt to get an internship without a being enrolled in college.

I was planning to purchase the Security+ V7 voucher but I saw that V8 is coming in November.
Are the prices raised with new versions, and if yes is it worth just getting the V7 or will it be considered outdated once V8 launches.

I will be studying harder for core 2, most knowledge came from past experiences playing/maintaining/building computers, and my bachelors in cyber security that I finished in May.

Notes - was not prepared for so many damn printer questions, or some acronyms that I forgotten over the years.

Still a first step for me, I always wanted to work in technology, and after May next year, I can move back home and start that new career. Net/Sec + are next on the list, deadline is hopefully by December/ early january

I might have been out of time but I still nailed it. :)

In about a fortnight I sit for the Security+ exam. My practice tests (Dion and Messer) range anywhere from 70%-75%, not counting retakes. I plan to study my wrong answers and weak domains to tighten up. My PBQ performance is actually better than I was expecting. A bit of a vague question, but am I in good shape to test? I bought the retake just in case.

Not sure if it makes more sense to do Network+ next, or Security+.

I want to eventually become a sysadmin.

The extra time for non English countries came in handy because I'm a bit slower at processing English text and also because these pbqs were tough! I got 5 pbqs and ended up guessing on 2 of them and started doubting whether I would pass but was relieved when I glimpsed the word "congratulations"

For preparation I used Prof. Messer's videos and PowerCert Animated N+ course, both free on youtube. I would also ask Gemini to explain stuff all the time. I watched a lot of the practice videos on youtube and I would note what I wrong and try to improve those topics, then I did 5 practice tests from Dion's first exam set scoring ~75% on average

To celebrate I will not study for few days
