Here s an advice my dad gave me when I took the ITF+. And that look at the answers before you look at the question. You get an idea what the question is by the answers
It may seem like i'm talking out of my ass but go into the test after of course studying and confident but just know you don't need to know everything, you just need to know enough to pass, so what does that mean? It means chances are if you studied you're going to pass, I just took the exam and I swear by like question 30 I already failed then when I submitted it I passed, you're going to shock yourself once you just accept the questions for what they are and choose the logical answer.
@Erock1985x. Honestly, I get the feeling that each answer you choose, has a value of its own set of points. Like if two answers are close, the 2nd best answer gives semi credit instead of full credit. I feel this way because I studied my butt off for the network+ exam and I was sure I failed it. I was shocked to see I still barely passed it. It has a very weird scoring system because I can honestly tell you if every answer had equal value I am 100% sure I would have failed that test. I was only 12 questions in and I couldn’t believe how underprepared I felt. 40% of the questions, I was semi-confident in my answer. 30% I narrowed it down to 50/50 guess. The other 30% I had no idea and had to take a full blown guess. I failed to finish 1 of my 3 PBQs, but the two I finished I was only semi-confident in my answers. Barely made it though .
@@dennyklein1965 yeah that actually makes sense. I'm glad its over with though, I had to get that cert within 90 days of my hire date for the job I accepted.
define study though because not everyone learns the same way and we as a species have forced this take a test to determine your future. I can write notes on videos and immediately forget what i wrote down even if i read it over so me failing a test shouldn't determine if i can do the job or not
@@Mattznick I def agree with you but just like college/degrees do you need them to do a job? No, its just a min qualification to get in the door, its basically a safe keep to stopping anybody from saying "hey I can do this job" and have absolutely no credentials proving they can. Maybe in the future there's a better system to identifying potential candidates but for now and has been for a while one of the best ways is how you look on paper
Hey Ben ,I’ve been watching your last 2 videos and they’re really insightful ,do you mind making a video on Security audits and also just what to expect and what not to expect as I’m currently 2 programs in studying for the Google cybersecurity program
I just passed the exam last month. The only reason I think I passed is I skipped one of the performance based questions that I knew was too time consuming and I’d probably get most of it wrong anyways(networking question passing traffic through a firewall). I then used most of my time to focus on the multiple choice questions. I even re-read several multiple choice questions and changed my answers in the last 5 minutes based on info I missed the first read through. I literally passed with a 756. I’m pretty sure changing those multiple choice questions saved my bacon. But I guess there is no way to know for sure.
The best way to get a security clearance is work for a company that in the job description says "Ability to obtain and maintain" when it comes to a clearance. Many companies depending on where you live have high demand for clearance work due to military installations being nearby etc and these companies actually get grants from the government in order to pay for your clearance. It's around $30,000 per person to have a full clearance/background check ran and they get that provided so they can hire more into the industry etc. Best of luck!
I would recommend more time because it really comes down to how much you understand within said amount of time. That should easily be enough time If you can understand and remember something you read only once. Someone like me, I get bored easy, so it’s harder to retain information if it’s not interesting enough for me. How much time varies person to person.
@dennyklein1965 Yeah, I've been studying for about 5 months. Followed by starting Monday till Test will be 4 hours each day till Saturday each day after work. I know when I was studying from my A plus I never felt ready. But I passed it. And the Core 2 I passed last September when I was going through a really hard time with certain a certain circumstances. circumstances.
because Comptia is a scam of a company, not for profit my ass. If they truly cared about getting people into the jobs and growing their skills they wouldn't make it so hard
I am currently in my freshman year of college majoring in cybersecurity. i am planning on studying for like 2 months couple hours a day. but since i don't have any prior experience in the field except the introduction courses i just took, is it even possible for me to pass? should i just wait until i'm done with college or wait until i get internships to get hands on experience?
Make sure to understand every term, how they work, and grasp their application within organizational contexts.. Learn Acronyms as well (crucial), then take practice lessons like Professor Messer's and Jason Dion's practice exams & a couple online Comptia Sec+ PBQs online. Remember your passion for cybersecurity as well. It will drive you to succeed.

Summary
1. Poor Time Management
2. Overthinking & Not Reading Carefully
3. Random Guess (without Eliminating)
4. Solely Relying on Memorization
Just passed on my first try last Friday! Feels great! Reading the questions very carefully and thoroughly is one of my biggest tips!
Great to hear! Congrats🎉
Any previous IT experience?

Were the practice questions the same as the test questions?

You get the results as soon as you submit your exam

i used pass wizards exam tests and passed all my certs first try in like 1-2 weeks lol. theyre legit
Did you see the same questions on the test ? Do they give different questions every time you use pass wizards?
Can you provide a link to that
All of those are general exam tips, not specifically security+
Congratulations, Ben! And, of course, many thanks 😊
Is it possible if you can make a video on how to get a security clearance?

Taking mine Nov 4th, how many hours a day did you study. I study for about 2 hours a day. Should I be studying even more?
