It's all relative. I'm in school for I.T./Cyber. I've been doing it for 3 years. Then have some work experience. I studied specifically for Security+ for 2 weeks w/ professor Messer (material/practice tests) then practice tests on udemy/Jason dion. It wasn't "easy" per se, but it wasn't difficult either.
**To note, I took it yesterday and passed and there was not ONE port question!
701 or 601?
@@Liquidhealth__Prolly 701 since 601 is out of date as of Nov 2023 and this person commented 1 day ago
@@jaylinclark2853 nope I literally passed my 601 today. There's always a crossover period. 601 and 701 are now active. As you said, 701 was active as of Nov 23, 601 expires at the end of July, after which 701 will be the only one available until 801 is available (likely Nov 26)
Hey man! Any advice for those who started preparing fresh? (Like me)
@@anuj3070 I’d study the material (I watched professor messer’s 701 playlist at 1.75 speed and read the notes he sells) then did all of his practice tests and some from Jason Dion on udemy.
Anytime I didn’t know about a specific part on a question I’d relearn it in professor messers notes or rewatch the video with it.
NOT NEARLY as hard as getting hired 😂😂😂
It really be like going from easy mode to DANTE MUST NOT BE EMPLOYED difficulty
For real, the struggle is real. I thought at least thhe security+ would get you an interview, but nah, nada.
For real, Google preached “you don’t need a degree to get a job in cybersecurity” in their certificate course…then turned off the lights.
Especially since everyone getting the shit. Realistically, it’s going to take much more than this cert which is what they don’t tell people.
Its easy if you study Professor Messers material and i also watched OLine Security practice lab walkthroughs. I passed with a 774
OLine Security practice lab walkthroughs are a life saver ! Really underestimated !
@@Einzelgaenger3where do you find the lab ? Google?
Just passed 2 days ago. 601. Harder than i thought tbh. Thought i failed ngl haha. I used jason dion and proffesor messer. I also did a bunch of questions from online to help prepare me.
Studying for it now!
Nice!!
Your title is "How hard is the CompTIA Security+ Exam" yet all youre talking about is how easy it was for you like what information in this video pertains to the difficulty of the exam? Name this video "How easy the Security+ Exam was for me"
Its not easy to actually gauge how difficult something is going to be to a newcomer when you yourself are not one. A professor should pass each exam they administer with 100% every time, because they know the material that well. To that professor, the material is easy. The security+ is going to be difficult to you if you are new to IT or if you have not studied security for long. However, it is considered beginner level knowledge in terms of the field of security. Out of A+, Net+, and Sec+, the Sec+ is probably the easiest
Meanwhile the job market for cybersecurity:
LAYOFFS, LAYOFFS, LAYOFFS
Just got laid off today lol
Why's that happening?
@@anuj3070 "Restructuring", debt management, forcing people into hybrid work structure, automating-out jobs and trimming down teams to 1-2 people...
Could be in preparation for some bigger economic issue coming though.
This is an important point to note. The tech job market is a roller coaster ride right now! I've had my fair share of twists and turns too. But let's not forget, tech's long-term trend is all about growth and innovation. Remember the days when applying to a few dozen jobs did the trick? Well, now it's more like a hundred applications to find that opportunity. There are also jobs one should stay away from, and I've thought about making a video on the red flags to look out for. Needless to say, it's a jungle out there.
Then there's the hiring process itself, which could use a revamp. We need better ways for candidates to showcase their skills without jumping through so many hoops. This is less an issue for entry level roles, but as you gain more experience, you'll find the technical interviews can be pretty ridiculous.
The market is very tough right now, and I've experienced the pain of this myself personally. I feel for anyone who is currently looking. Having said that, if you love technology and don't want a boring job, but rather one that is filled with excitement, remember that the over arching long-term trend for tech is a story of growth. Several years back, one might have had to only apply for several dozen jobs before seeing success. In this market, I now recommend candidates have the expectation that they will have to apply for several hundred job applications. Some have success with just a few applications, but it's important for those just getting into this to understand what they're up against.
The most important thing to do is stay persistent. Apply, apply apply. Then apply some more. If you keep applying, a door will open.
@@anuj3070 The economy is in the shitter rn. Not even regular jobs that you could get at Target or Walmart is an easy interview. I have 2 - 3 years of customer service experience and i applied to like 700+ jobs and ive only gotten 5 - 10 interviews the job market is crazy rn. I remember back a year ago i tested my chances of getting a new job i applied to like 50 jobs and gotten the same amount of 5 - 10 interviews
In my experience there are mainly 2 types: classically trained, and self-taught armed with practical knowledge/experience.
Each have their own gaps, and you almost never see someone self-taught who then goes for certs, because they don't see a point when they already have a good job and understand what they need to. Which is exactly why if i were managing a team, I'd want half classically trained guys, and half scrappy self-taught guys
Seems like it is mostly terminology for the 601 but now it's the 701, which talks about physical security and other things not related to specifically computers, but more overally infrastructure. That's somewhat less intuitive which is annoying. Like you can figure out what "tailgating" is.
I just passed the 601 last week with a 775. And supposedly it has 30% more material crammed into it than the 501, and the 601 has 30% less material than the 701 ??
With that being said, the worst part was the first part, the PBQs. They were not written well and kinda vague. The multiple choice portion was not bad at all. Just really work on Labs and PBQs and youll be good. I used Professor Messor and Cyber Kraft's material and I bout a used 601 study guide off ebay.
I failed network + 4 times. Those dam PBQs are unrecognizable to me even with /help its just formatted confusing all were around 690
Hi @Robdoodle, when you took the exam, did you do the PBQs first or save them for last? I usually recommend (as most do) taking the PBQs last. I personally skipped the PBQs when I took the exam, and I circled back to them at the end.
Knowing your port numbers and their protocols, as well as knowing how to solve at least basic IP address and subnetting questions is necessary to pass the PBQs. If you understand the protocols and what is running on each port, then you should be in decent shape for the PBQs.
Hoping this helps :--)
It depends on prior background. If you are already comfortable with computing concepts, not hard at all. If you are starting from 0, don't take the exam for another year.
Its the easiest of the CompTIA Core trifecta.
@LeekTech This is a great point! In your opinion, which is the hardest of the trifecta? A+ or Net+?
@@landtechjobs my brother in Christ, if he were to say A+ would you not laugh your ass off?
Yeah that's fair lol
@@TsunamiDragonEX
You found A+ and N+ harder than Sec+... interesting
it's not that hard, just lock in 😅
