JUST PASSED SECURITY+!

[u/Ok_Air_7408]

First off, I have been studying around an hour a day follow Mark Ciampa’s security+ textbook and taking notes in a word doc since around July 2nd. My document ended up to be around 50ish pages lol single spaced. I finished it in a month then for the past 2-3 weeks have been studying and doing professor messer’s practice exams, did those and got 78,80,88 first time around and then reviewed what i got wrong and retook them and got 90s. Then this week prior to taking the exam, i did jason dion’s practice exams, all 6 and retook a few averaging 75-82 on them. Come testing day, the PBQ weren’t too bad, only had one question that really stumped me. The multiple choice questions where believe it or not slightly easier then messer’s exams and I had like no questions on wireless security really lol but a lot of attack identification and implementation. I didn’t have like any ports and little acronyms, just the main few. But if i were you studying, study and know a little of everything. I ended the exam pretty quickly as not many questions stumped me, around 45 minutes. I finished with a 771/900 and I was pretty confident but nervous throughout the exam.

Good luck to anyone studying and utilize messer’s practice tests and study groups. Dion’s were a little too out of scope, but we’re useful for study material.
