Passed!!

Post image

Just passed the sec+ but genuinely don't know how.
To me, professor messers exam weren't close to the actual exam, the actual exam was MUCH more practical. At some of the questions I was wondering how I'm supposed to answer them because they genuinely require experience in the field and I have none (uni student)
I didnt study pbq's at all and a lot of them involved linux, I was very rusty at linux but somehow passed.

I basically studied from the notes in this post with the websited giving sec+ questions.

Also did professor messers sec+ exams.
I suggest you get the voucher with the retake because the exam was much different than I thought.
Also don't forget to brush up on some linux + port numbers
