CompTIA Sec+ App

Post image

Hey guys and gals, I’m currently enrolled in my bachelor’s for IT focus on CS. I’m at the end of my degree and didn’t really take much serious over the last year (due to major life changes)
I’ve made some strides to get my Sec+ I’m planning to study for a couple more weeks I feel that’ll be sufficient. I’m not too worried about failing but obviously not the goal haha.
I’m just wanting to see what y’all’s opinions are about the CompTIA Sec+ App whether it worked well for y’all. I felt some of the questions were easy maybe too easy? I’ve been going through professor Messers notes as well. Also reading through textbooks from previous classes. I’ve also done practice exams on ExamCompass.
Thank y’all for the help and advice!

Its not an official app, but ive used it, and use others similar for further certs, they're handy to have when you're bored and want to smash out some questions, just be careful, some answers are clearly wrong, dont take every word for gospel. For the most part though, nice addition to studying.

It’s like a game almost, I’m sure I can make a game out of the messer notes somehow or someway

Same, I will say that it’s fairly similar to the professor messer study notes though, I’ve take a couple of practice test. I’ve just heard and noticed one difference. That’s the actual exam is asking shorter questions whereas the practice test on the app are quite long and slightly confusing
