Just wanted to share... I have been studying IT for about 2 years now. Trying to balance a job and 3 kids while getting certs and going to school at 34. I have applied for helpdesk jobs non-stop since receiving my A+ in 2023 and never got a single interview. It must have been hundreds of applications. 2 months ago I quit my job to take a chance and study full time. In those 2 months I got my Net+ and Sec+. Had my first interview for IT helpdesk last week. Just got offered the job 1 hour ago. Dont give up!!!!!
Two weeks ago, I had absolutely zero knowledge about anything in this class. Today, I passed my Sec+ with a 842, thanks to your videos, and some studies about RAID on the side. Thank you professor, I really appreciate it. If anybody is wondering whether or not to buy the practice exams, they are ABSOLUTELY worth it. I wouldn't have been able to pass without them.
I didn't use them, and passed just fine. All that I used for practice exams were Professor Messer's, and some of the free exams on Examcompass, although even of those exams were unnecessary and confusing, as they use a lot of terminology that makes you overthink, and isn't a good representation of what you'll see on the actual exam. @@ljns2182
I passed my 701 exam today with a score of 801! This course is excellent, and Professor Messer's practice exams are by far the best ones out there IMO.
Passed my 701 this morning (AUS time)!! Thanks for providing the course notes and prac exams (I purchased both - great investment) and the RUclips magic. It really helped.
Before watching these videos I failed the exam 4 times. Today I’m proud to say I finally passed!! Thanks Professor Messor for all the free game your giving us!!
I had a question...if someone fails the exam does he have to buy another exam voucher or can he just retake with the same one maybe after a specific period of time.
Thought I'd share with future users: This was my exclusive method of study for the security+. I had a small bit of knowledge about ultra basic cybersecurity from research while learning about programming and devops basics, but this was 98% of it. As a direct result of this course, I felt very prepared and passed the security+ on the first try. I'm leaving a similar comment on the last video, but I just want to thank Professor Messer for the course, and let future viewers know that this is a very solid primary method of study.
what was your study method? i've never had a proper study ethic and am now suffering for it. this is the fourth time attempting to study Security+ in my two years at helpdesk.
@@joewooks3935 I wish I could help more, but I'm afraid I can't say much as I just watched the videos as many times as I needed (2-4) and made sure I really understood the concepts before moving on. I would say 1. Use flashcards for the vocabulary words and acronyms/initialisms. 2. Be well rested for test day. 3. If you are confused by a concept, say input validation for example, learn more about it. Either rewatch the video, do some googling, or watch ethical hacking videos to see it in action, even visit tutorial sites to experiment with it yourself. Learn about the risks of failing to implement input validation, go down those rabbit holes into related topics like XSS, sql injection, etc. Then try to explain it to somebody who doesn't know (i.e. a friend, a dog, a rubber duck) 4. This is a bigger time commitment, but I have spent the past few months fiddling with an AWS ec2 server. The cheapest tier is free for a year, and I set up a basic site that uses javascript to send and receive data from a server. I pretended that the data and code on my server were my livelihood and went about figuring out how to lock it down so that only I could access the data. This led me down many rabbit holes into firewalls, ports, attack types and vectors, and security in the cloud. This might be overkill, as Professor Messer did actually teach all that I needed to know for the test, but I found that I understood the concepts far better having actually implemented it myself. tl;dr Research concepts you don't understand, and go down the rabbit holes that you come across. Also, I had to watch most of these videos 2-4 times to make sure I understood the material. Stay strong!
I came here to say (almost) exactly the same thing! Thank you so much Professor Messer for making the study materials available (and in such a timely manner). These videos are almost all I have for the exam. I watched the whole series from late Nov right up to the day before I took my test, and today I can proudly share with you and all fellow learners that I have PASSED on the first try (and scored 801)! Thank you again, Professor Messer!

Today I passed the SY701 witha 785 thanks to @professormesser and his videos. Started watching in June with zero IT knowledge. I’ve watched this entire playlist 2 and a half times through. I broke up the content into 8 groups where I can listen to roughly 118 minutes (about 2hrs) each day over 8 days. You can get through the entire thing 3 times in 1 month if you dedicate.

Just passed my security plus exam today!!! Thanks professor. His practice exams were amazing as well, very helpful. I studied for this exam for a month with no prior experience, so anyone who is determined to pass will pass. Good luck to the future people watching this video and taking the exam!!!!!!!
Just passed the 701. Wanted to say thank you for all of the work and effort you placed into these videos and how important they were in me receiving my certification. The practice exams are undoubtedly a must-purchase if you want the most confidence in going into the exam. Thank you!
I just passed my Security + exam. Your videos helped me during preparation. Thank you, Professor Messer for freely sharing your knowledge and experience! God bless you
Hey Professor Messer, I want say a big thank you to you for your excellent work. Thanks to you I passed the CompTIA SY0-701 Security+ Exam two days ago! I have utilized your Security+ playlist to the core. I have spent countless hours going through my notes and taking practice exams, but none of them truly helped me get confident with the material, but your videos did! Your short and sweet videos on important topics are very convenient because you don't waste unnecessary time explaining things that are not even important like other Cybersecurity RUclipsrs. You highlight the important things, and give us a practical or real-life example so we can better remember the information, and you don't make the videos too lengthy. Almost all of your videos are less than 20 mins, which is extremely perfect for me because as a full-time college student, I'm balancing my coursework, my part-time job, and studying for certs. Your videos are best suited for people like me because I can watch your videos anytime, while eating, while commuting, etc. Overall, I would like thank you so much for relentless work! I would've not passed my Security+ exam if it wasn't for you! Thank you so much Professor Messer!!🙏🙏🙏
@professormesser just passed today with 797. Thank you so much for your videos. Your help was INVALUABLE. You have more than a knack for teaching. Thank you again!
Professor Messer! I have a new job where the Security+ is required and I've been so scared and stressed out. I passed my exam for the Security+ SY0-701 this past Monday on the first try! All thanks to you, I studied your videos, notes and exam Qs for 10 days. I really thought I was failing it the entire time, but something sunk in obviously! I'm trying to pivot my telecom career to cybersecurity and this certification has laid the ground work to do so. Thank you for all you do, I'm sincerely grateful to you and your team.
Hi there, could you kindly explain in short what material you referred to and approx how much time it took before you felt confident enough to take the test? Thnx in advance!
I just wanted to thank you, Sir Messer, for helping me a lot with all your video uploads about the Sec+ 701. I took my exam today and passed! Thank you again.
Gratitude is due where it's earned, and today, I thank God first of all and I extend a special thank you to Professor Messor for his instrumental role in helping me reach this significant milestone. The training videos and the practice exam were a huge help. I am happy to announce that I have successfully passed my exam today on my first try. Thank you.
2 years ago, I was a homeless runaway. Walked over 130 miles to get my GED, and now I'm a subcontractor for GDIT (large engine operator + mailroom clerk with XPP xerox training). I'm looking to get into a career in cybersecurity so I can better support my partner. It's difficult studying while working 60 hrs a week, but I'll be sneaking these videos in on my breaks as often as I can. Good luck everyone!
Just passed my SY0-701 exam yesterday on the first try! Honestly could not have done it without this video series and study guide. Thank you Professor Messer!
Just wanted to share that I passed my Sec +, first go, today; I watched every single one of these videos numerous times. You, sir, are a gentleman and a scholar; a tip of the hat to you.
@@EvidenciaChengeta-bl8ys Thanks! My main resources were Professor Messer, and Jason Dion (Udemy). Lots and lots of practice exams, and hundreds of flashcards with acronyms and ports/protocols.
Just passed my exam today! These videos are really great but your practice exams are next level. They are the perfect measure for if you are ready to take the exam or not. I wouldn’t have been able to pass without them.
Just passed my security plus an hour ago with zero IT experience after a month of solid studying! Thank you professor Messer. Please listen to his advice about the performance based questions. I didn’t study them at all and had to rely on common sense to complete them, but looking at professor Messers performance based questions, they are almost exactly what is on the test. Forget the notes. Take as many practice questions as you can, and do research on the specific ones you get wrong. Much time can be wasted by studying for parts of the test that may be common sense for the individual test taker anyway.
Professor Messer, I am honestly so happy and grateful that you have taken your time and energy to do these accessible courses here on RUclips. I bought the Comptia Security+ textbook for the latest edition, and I know that I am also an audio visual learner and had found the lecturer taught sessions so expensive to add onto the exam cost itself. I have been working my butt off a minimum wage job and trying to take the steps to be able to get my foot into security without breaking the bank in my learning stages. You are the absolute best!! Thank you so much for being there.
I just passed the network+ and my personal opinion for people debating whether to take it at home vs a test center. I say do the test center. There is no stress with things like connection issues, distractions (like a pet), they provide everything you're allowed to have (like a dry erase board) and they even have ear phones to dampen sound upon request.
8/22/24 Passed! I needed to renew my A+ and Network+ what better way to do that than to take another cert. This course really helped. I would suggest you pay for the addition study materials. The study notes are wonderful and well worth the price.
Passed 701 yesterday with a score of 764, thank you professor messer! If any of you are on the edge of buying his material, GET IT! It helped in so many ways!
Just wanted to share. I just passed security+ with your help. I'm very grateful 🙏🏾 Coming from a resource limited background in Africa, this series was immense. Thank you once again
Hi Professor Messer! I just passed my SYO-701 Security+ exam thanks to your videos! :) It was a hard exam for sure but I was able to pass with a score of 782! Thanks for the great content you put out here! Cheers
Hi! Just wanted to say a huge thanks for your videos, Prof Messer. They seriously helped me pass my Security+ exam with 813! Your explanations made everything make sense.
I just wanted to drop by to thank you professor! I am still shaking off the jitters of the exam but was able to skirt by with a 757 score. I am still trying to surmise my journey from watching your other training playlists (A+ and Net+ of which I passed both) and how far I've come as a technician. It pains me to know that I will not have Professor Messer Training Playlists for my planned Linux+ and CySa+ exams I will be taking next year but it comforts me knowing that at the very least, I have a solid foundation to be able to work on. Sincerely, Thank you James.
Passed with a 761 today! On and off studying for around a year but I finally pulled the trigger and scheduled my first attempt and passed first time! Can’t say I’m not lucky, but for those out there in the grind still, keep going!
I just passed my security plus exam yesterday. I am so relief and thankful. I would not pass this exam without your videos ,notes and practice exam books. They are the best materials I have ever read. The way you use to deliver the materials are very professional and so clear to observe. Thank you so much professor messer.
Passed my sec+ sy0-701 today. Thank you for your videos. They were my main source for study and helped me alot to understand concepts. They are very well made. Thanks again!
I used your videos to pass my CompTIA A+ and Network+ exams last year. Now I intend on using your videos again for Security+ SY0-701, and hoping to pass before June.
Dear Professor Messer, I wanted to take a moment to express my sincere gratitude for the outstanding free training resources you provide. Your clear explanations and well-structured materials have been invaluable in helping me prepare for my certification exams. I recently passed the CompTIA Security+ exam, and I can confidently say that your videos and study materials played a significant role in my success. Thank you for your dedication to educating others and for making such high-quality resources accessible to everyone. Your efforts have made a real difference in my learning journey.
Thank You so much for your videos! I bought them from your site about a month ago and just passed today with a 750 💀 definitely couldn’t have done it without you man!
You helped me get the information i needed to pass A+ and I passed recently. I am now starting to study for SY0-701 i always make sure to purchase all of your practice tests. Thank you for providing this information to us.
Thank you Professor Messer, I passed my security+ exam 2 das ago on first attempt. Your videos and practice tests are the only material i used. Grateful
Messer! I just passed the security+ test! First time, no IT experience, probable should have done A+ first. Know one told me. Anyone reading this spend the $30 bucks and get the three pre test, that helped a lot. Messer ill be back for more my friend. Thank you sir.
Just passed the Network+ 008 and here I am beginning Security+! Ending my contract soon so I'll be going heavy on the studies while I try to get another job.
Just got my certification. Guys, his practice tests are EXTREMELY WELL DONE. His videos + his practice tests are everything you need to pass de exam. Thank you so much, professor!!!

I did a ton of other research and studying as well, but you're resources were an essential tool in my belt towards success!
hey , where you bought the exams at ?
how much does it cost to give the exam?
@@NilawManandhar If they took the exam, there shouldn't be any cost on their part to "give the exam".
good job man. I am happy for ya :D
Thankyou so much Professor Messer, I passed my security plus yesterday on first attempt. You are a true Blessing
Just passed my security plus exam today!!! Thanks professor. His practice exams were amazing as well, very helpful. I studied for this exam for a month with no prior experience, so anyone who is determined to pass will pass. Good luck to the future people watching this video and taking the exam!!!!!!!
Just left the testing center… I PASSED with a 781 !! Thank you so much Professor! And to everyone else DONT GIVE UP ON YOURSELF!!!
Just passed the 701. Wanted to say thank you for all of the work and effort you placed into these videos and how important they were in me receiving my certification. The practice exams are undoubtedly a must-purchase if you want the most confidence in going into the exam. Thank you!
PASSED THE EXAM TODAY !!! First try. thanks Professor!
My buddy recommended this channel to study for the Sec+ exam. Such a gold mine of information.
I just passed my Security + exam. Your videos helped me during preparation. Thank you, Professor Messer for freely sharing your knowledge and experience! God bless you
Hey Professor Messer, I want say a big thank you to you for your excellent work. Thanks to you I passed the CompTIA SY0-701 Security+ Exam two days ago! I have utilized your Security+ playlist to the core. I have spent countless hours going through my notes and taking practice exams, but none of them truly helped me get confident with the material, but your videos did! Your short and sweet videos on important topics are very convenient because you don't waste unnecessary time explaining things that are not even important like other Cybersecurity RUclipsrs. You highlight the important things, and give us a practical or real-life example so we can better remember the information, and you don't make the videos too lengthy. Almost all of your videos are less than 20 mins, which is extremely perfect for me because as a full-time college student, I'm balancing my coursework, my part-time job, and studying for certs. Your videos are best suited for people like me because I can watch your videos anytime, while eating, while commuting, etc. Overall, I would like thank you so much for relentless work! I would've not passed my Security+ exam if it wasn't for you! Thank you so much Professor Messer!!🙏🙏🙏
@professormesser just passed today with 797. Thank you so much for your videos. Your help was INVALUABLE. You have more than a knack for teaching. Thank you again!
Professor Messer! I have a new job where the Security+ is required and I've been so scared and stressed out. I passed my exam for the Security+ SY0-701 this past Monday on the first try! All thanks to you, I studied your videos, notes and exam Qs for 10 days. I really thought I was failing it the entire time, but something sunk in obviously! I'm trying to pivot my telecom career to cybersecurity and this certification has laid the ground work to do so. Thank you for all you do, I'm sincerely grateful to you and your team.
Just took my 701 exam and passed. Thanks Professor Messer for making everything super easy to understand.
Hi there, could you kindly explain in short what material you referred to and approx how much time it took before you felt confident enough to take the test? Thnx in advance!
Would you suggest that I take practice labs with Comptia ?
I just wanted to thank you, Sir Messer, for helping me a lot with all your video uploads about the Sec+ 701. I took my exam today and passed! Thank you again.
Gratitude is due where it's earned, and today, I thank God first of all and I extend a special thank you to Professor Messor for his instrumental role in helping me reach this significant milestone. The training videos and the practice exam were a huge help. I am happy to announce that I have successfully passed my exam today on my first try. Thank you.
Just passed my SEC+ yesterday, used only Messer videos and practice test. Score 765
601 or 701?
Which study materials did you use please
2 years ago, I was a homeless runaway. Walked over 130 miles to get my GED, and now I'm a subcontractor for GDIT (large engine operator + mailroom clerk with XPP xerox training).
I'm looking to get into a career in cybersecurity so I can better support my partner. It's difficult studying while working 60 hrs a week, but I'll be sneaking these videos in on my breaks as often as I can. Good luck everyone!
Just passed my SY0-701 exam yesterday on the first try! Honestly could not have done it without this video series and study guide. Thank you Professor Messer!
Just wanted to share that I passed my Sec +, first go, today; I watched every single one of these videos numerous times. You, sir, are a gentleman and a scholar; a tip of the hat to you.
congratulations, how long did it take you and did you use any other resources besides these videos.
@@EvidenciaChengeta-bl8ys Thanks! My main resources were Professor Messer, and Jason Dion (Udemy). Lots and lots of practice exams, and hundreds of flashcards with acronyms and ports/protocols.
I am ready to watch your wonderful videos Professor Messer. Thanks for providing these for free.
How's it going? Did you take the exam?
Just passed my exam today! These videos are really great but your practice exams are next level. They are the perfect measure for if you are ready to take the exam or not. I wouldn’t have been able to pass without them.
Just passed my security plus an hour ago with zero IT experience after a month of solid studying! Thank you professor Messer. Please listen to his advice about the performance based questions. I didn’t study them at all and had to rely on common sense to complete them, but looking at professor Messers performance based questions, they are almost exactly what is on the test. Forget the notes. Take as many practice questions as you can, and do research on the specific ones you get wrong. Much time can be wasted by studying for parts of the test that may be common sense for the individual test taker anyway.
Professor Messer, I am honestly so happy and grateful that you have taken your time and energy to do these accessible courses here on RUclips. I bought the Comptia Security+ textbook for the latest edition, and I know that I am also an audio visual learner and had found the lecturer taught sessions so expensive to add onto the exam cost itself. I have been working my butt off a minimum wage job and trying to take the steps to be able to get my foot into security without breaking the bank in my learning stages. You are the absolute best!! Thank you so much for being there.
I just passed the network+ and my personal opinion for people debating whether to take it at home vs a test center. I say do the test center. There is no stress with things like connection issues, distractions (like a pet), they provide everything you're allowed to have (like a dry erase board) and they even have ear phones to dampen sound upon request.
8/22/24 Passed! I needed to renew my A+ and Network+ what better way to do that than to take another cert. This course really helped. I would suggest you pay for the addition study materials. The study notes are wonderful and well worth the price.
Passed 701 yesterday with a score of 764, thank you professor messer! If any of you are on the edge of buying his material, GET IT! It helped in so many ways!
Just wanted to share. I just passed security+ with your help. I'm very grateful 🙏🏾 Coming from a resource limited background in Africa, this series was immense. Thank you once again
Thanks Professor Messer. Just passed my test on the first attempt. Your videos were a huge study help and great refresher on the subjects.
Just took my exam this morning and passed! Thank you, Professor Messer!!!
Hi Professor Messer! I just passed my SYO-701 Security+ exam thanks to your videos! :) It was a hard exam for sure but I was able to pass with a score of 782! Thanks for the great content you put out here! Cheers
Passed my Network+ on Sunday. Professor Messer has been so much help. Thank you. Now its time to tackle Security+.
Passed my Security+ the other day. Thanks for everything you do Professor!
I bought your notes and exams, watched your videos for 7 weeks and today I got certified with CompTIA Security plus (first try). Thank you!
Hi! Just wanted to say a huge thanks for your videos, Prof Messer. They seriously helped me pass my Security+ exam with 813! Your explanations made everything make sense.
I just wanted to drop by to thank you professor! I am still shaking off the jitters of the exam but was able to skirt by with a 757 score. I am still trying to surmise my journey from watching your other training playlists (A+ and Net+ of which I passed both) and how far I've come as a technician. It pains me to know that I will not have Professor Messer Training Playlists for my planned Linux+ and CySa+ exams I will be taking next year but it comforts me knowing that at the very least, I have a solid foundation to be able to work on.
Sincerely,
Thank you James.
Thanks professor Messer, I reviewed the videos, took the practice exams you made and passed the comptia security + .I appreciate your work professor.
Passed with a 761 today! On and off studying for around a year but I finally pulled the trigger and scheduled my first attempt and passed first time! Can’t say I’m not lucky, but for those out there in the grind still, keep going!
Just wanted to say Thank You Professor Messer I was able to pass my Security+ 701 Exam Today with a 768 Thank You So Much !
You are well known and I understand why! I passed my Sec+ exam! Thank you for all that you do!
I just passed my security plus exam yesterday. I am so relief and thankful. I would not pass this exam without your videos ,notes and practice exam books. They are the best materials I have ever read. The way you use to deliver the materials are very professional and so clear to observe. Thank you so much professor messer.
Question, how many hours a day did you dedicated to learn all the video topics?
Passed my sec+ sy0-701 today. Thank you for your videos. They were my main source for study and helped me alot to understand concepts. They are very well made. Thanks again!
Today passed my Net+, my next step is Sec+ with Messer videos and Gibson's book, reddit says it's the best combo to pass the exam.

I took my Security+ today and passed with a 796. Your videos and study material was instrumental, thank you.
I wanted to come back and say Thank You to you and your team, I passed my exam with the help of your videos! you really do cover all the objectives.
I used your videos to pass my CompTIA A+ and Network+ exams last year. Now I intend on using your videos again for Security+ SY0-701, and hoping to pass before June.
Dear Professor Messer,
I wanted to take a moment to express my sincere gratitude for the outstanding free training resources you provide. Your clear explanations and well-structured materials have been invaluable in helping me prepare for my certification exams. I recently passed the CompTIA Security+ exam, and I can confidently say that your videos and study materials played a significant role in my success.
Thank you for your dedication to educating others and for making such high-quality resources accessible to everyone. Your efforts have made a real difference in my learning journey.
Just passed my Security+, and this course and the practice exams were of great help. 100% recommended!
Thank You so much for your videos! I bought them from your site about a month ago and just passed today with a 750 💀 definitely couldn’t have done it without you man!
You helped me get the information i needed to pass A+ and I passed recently. I am now starting to study for SY0-701 i always make sure to purchase all of your practice tests. Thank you for providing this information to us.
Thank you so much for the videos! Took my exam this morning and passed! Through the videos and the practice questions, studying was super easy.
Thank you Professor Messer, I passed my security+ exam 2 das ago on first attempt. Your videos and practice tests are the only material i used. Grateful
Messer! I just passed the security+ test! First time, no IT experience, probable should have done A+ first. Know one told me. Anyone reading this spend the $30 bucks and get the three pre test, that helped a lot. Messer ill be back for more my friend. Thank you sir.
Just passed the Network+ 008 and here I am beginning Security+! Ending my contract soon so I'll be going heavy on the studies while I try to get another job.

Hi can you help me? I’m looking for some guidance on how to start this course, how much time I need to master it, and how to prepare for the exam. Can you give me some advice?
@@mn-zj2br I spent 3 months studying for the exam; watched All of Professor Messers Sec+ videos, read the study guide twice, watched Cyberkrafts videos on the pbq's, and did multiple different practice exams. Had little to no previous experience and was able to pass. Hope this helps.
Hello, can I get a way to contact you through social media like Instagram, Facebook, or any other way like WhatsApp, etc., so I can talk to you properly? I need advice, please. @json1604

Hello, can you help me? I’m looking for some guidance on how to start this course, how much time I need to master it, and how to prepare for the exam. Can you give me some advice?
@@mn-zj2brHi
I used these video, plus bought a PDF version from Professor Messers website
It's about 40h of videos
Then I've done 40h of ACi Practices Labs of Security+ (better to do every lab at least twice)
And exam preparation was an app from Google Play
IT & Security Pocket Prep
Best of luck
You’re the best. Passed a few days ago first try!!!!! All thanks to you and the book by Darrill Gibson.
Love yah man. Ive enjoyed watching them all! Haha
My exam is coming up in September thank you for all the videos and help.
I passed the Sec+ SY0-701 last week and your videos helped me a lot as well as the course notes. Definitely get the course notes!! Get the practice tests! They resemble the actual test.
Did u find the 701 notes and practice exams? Only see the 601 version
