I just passed my Security+ with a score of 890! Your tips definitely helped me. Suggestion : Examcompass tests have lots of incorrect answers and also lacks explanations, so I felt very confusing doing them. I also completed several practice exams from S-killcertpro for a week which I feel very accurate and reviewed their exam notes the day before the test. Nearly 80% of the questions were from these sets.
Great to hear, I am currently studying for it too and I find the exam compass tests quite sectioned on particular topics. Also Professor Messer is tedious to get through. Curious, what resources did you use and find most useful? Thanks
I did the Google Security Certification (i Took my time with it... 4.5 months to complete) and then jumped to Comptia Sec+ and already paid for it. with the Retake just incase. From the study guide 1-3 sections so far seem pretty easy when it comes to security controls, social engineering, threats and vulnerabilities. But I know I lack confidence. I am having a kid in 6 months (wife is very pregnant) so the pressure is everywhere.. I hope everyone who is taking this certification keeps going and don't give up, you got it.
@@burako82 no…. I am almost half way through the study guide of Security+. The google cert was just a helping tool to have a decent understanding before I took the Security+
Congratulations on your new baby I hope the wife and the baby are safe!! And I also hope you get your dream job in cybersecurity so you can provide the best for your family 😍😍
@@americanroyalsuccess I actually tried to apply the discount of the google promo for Comptia sec+ and it didn’t work.. so I paid for the study guide + Retake if I need it.. ($580) so I don’t know if the promo was for the previous version of Comptia and not for the newest one. (SYO-701 is the current/newest version)
@connorschachow3833 The mock exams provided to me from my bootcamp, chatgpt and Quizlets for the 701 that random ppl made. I also used youtube watching ppl analyze and answering the questions for over an hr. I'll do the google cybersecurity for fun and givr the code to either my classmate's first or sale it for dirt cheap if possible. Oh I like Udemy I plan to go back and finish the 40% to completion.
The “BEST” pathway into the IT world I’ve seen thus far!! I’m going ALL in step-by-step as you have suggested. I’ll keep you posted on my progress. Thank you 🙏🏽
Aye man, we served together. I don’t wanna dox you but we went to basic and AIT together, I’m glad to see you pursuing a career in IT, I just failed my 1st attempt at Sec+. Hope you been well.
I love how you quickly mention in the beginning, "Get rid of distractions and get it done". For me, I get easily distracted by but am trying my best to minimize anything not related to passing this exam. Good luck everyone!
I have a clearance currently in the national guard as a 25B I failed the SEC+ 601 and taking the SEC+701 in two weeks I plan to get into the DOD space.
Applause to those spreading free cybersecurity education! I'm contributing with videos on cybersecurity and CompTIA Security+. Let's keep moving forward!
Great recommendations. Messer practice tests ($30) are the closest I’ve found to the real thing. %100 worth it. Don’t waste time or money on Jason Dion.
Jason Dion's practice set for $15 gives you 580 questions, I'd say that's worth it along with messers to give yourself the highest chance of passing...
@@rahrahrari3064 they are absolutely garbage questions. I’ll take quality over quantity any day. To each their own. I am sure Dion is a highly respected teacher. Not my cup of tea. When I passed my Sec+ I tried Dion vs Messer. Paid for both. Messers tests in my opinion were far closer to the real thing. I teach Sec+ now days and I like messer.
I just started my journey for my Sec+ 701 and am currently reading the Sybex Sec+ 701 Study Guide Book. I am thinking if my study materials are enough to pass the exam, and I have also seen some PBQ materials on RUclips like Cyberkraft & Inside Cloud n Security (which I will utilize later on).

@@GovandMkarim You can read PDF files on a Kindle, but it is not very enjoyable. I prefer the amazon amz format which give much more in formatting options. I use immersive reading where I just read on my Fold5 phone and it reads it to me while highlighting the words it is reading.
@ I’m currently doing cloud I changed because learning cybersecurity was hard for me once I get better understanding I will do cloud security hopefully
Hi Thanks much for your insights : ) Could you make a video on what certificates should we do after security + for an individual who is aiming to become a security analyst in the industry
I would say about 90%. No course will have 100% since nobody really knows what will show up on the test at the end of the day. Using the course objectives will get you very close though. Definitely use multiple resources while studying for the exam.
The only way I as able to grasp these concepts so fast is because I had a lot of previous related knowledge. If you're coming into it fairly new to IT its very normal for it to take much longer (3-6 Months) to fully learn.
@@VetToTech I bought the Security+ SYO-701 and I’ve beeeeen struggling. Maybe I just need to be patient with myself cause I thought something is wrong with me but to be fair I’m new at this, I have no previous knowledge
I completed the google cyberscurity professional certificate, can i go straight to the exam and pass? i have IT background, i am into IT since 14.4k modems :D
Completely disagree. I passed in a fairly short time of studying. Yes taking your time is optimal however not everyone has the bandwidth to take there time. In my case, my propective employer wanted the cert asap.

Bro i want some help
been on that site, what is the one you got called? they have so many guides and can't find security plus

Just back to say thanks, as I passed my security+ today, thank you man!
Hell yeah!
Nice job, congrats
One of the best exam tips is to not go back and change your answers I've done this and it bit me in the ass several times.
congrats!
Thank you!

Some practice test questions were on the real test lol. So the more you do the better. I mean it's not exact one to one but very very close
Which test ?
Which practice test questions?
which practice test bruh
Thank you so much I passed my AZ-104 exam. your videos and certifiedumps study guide + practice test helped me to pass my exam.
How did you get the study guide?

Very thanks for the tips. At the moment, I´m around 75-80 % ron tests. When i reach 85% three times in-a-row, i will do the exam.
Good vid man keep it up

i got security plus before i graduated high school

If you buy the kindle , will you also get it with PDF format?

I can’t find Mike Mayer course on digital university
It is titled "TOTAL: CompTIA Security+ Certification Course + Exam SY0-701"
Awesome Man. Just found your channel. Small creator/Vet/IT Professional here ✊🏼😎
i start today i will be following your road map, will update in two months
how did it go?
@ I’m currently doing cloud I changed because learning cybersecurity was hard for me once I get better understanding I will do cloud security hopefully
@ all the best with that bro
Hi...how much did it cost to take the exam...Am a bit confused...One time it was 392dollars and right now its 226 dollars.
$226 seems to be the price for emerging markets. Possibly using a VPN or you’re in a different location from when you got the first price?

Hi
Thanks much for your insights : )
Could you make a video on what certificates should we do after security + for an individual who is aiming to become a security analyst in the industry
That's a great idea, I will look into this. I am currently studying for 3 SANS GIAC certs atm. The GFACT, GSEC, and GCIH.
Would you recommend to take Security+ first and take Network+?
is this test avalaible in spanish too?
congratulations
Thanks a lot bro
Once we purchase the voucher,
Do we also have to pay for scheduling the exam?
Nope! Once you have a voucher whenever you schedule/purchase the exam you will input your voucher code and it will drop the cost to $0.
You can get Udemy free through your local library.
Did you do alot of note taking or did you buy some of the course notes or neither?
@@marcusmcdow3 I did not use any notes during my studying.
How much did you score in Sec+? In your previous videos, you have mentioned the scores as well which gives more encouragement.
771
🙏👏
does mike meyers go over everything in the 20 hour course?
I would say about 90%. No course will have 100% since nobody really knows what will show up on the test at the end of the day. Using the course objectives will get you very close though. Definitely use multiple resources while studying for the exam.
Studied 5 days and got 755
Never again
Which material did you use ?
-400
I just wanna know how do people grasp so much information in just 2 weeks?😳
The only way I as able to grasp these concepts so fast is because I had a lot of previous related knowledge. If you're coming into it fairly new to IT its very normal for it to take much longer (3-6 Months) to fully learn.

@@dimphomolefe5057 I use the pomodoro technique helps with retaining information because I'm not overloading if that makes sense.

Bullshit. Just take ur time and study. There is no shortcut. This dude is lying to u
