I have also come here to say thank you. I passed my Sec+ exams on May 12 2022. Your materials are highly recommended.

[@InsideCloudAndSecurity]

I love it! Thanks for sharing and CONGRATULATIONS! 🏆🎉Happy the series helped! 👍

[@PastorGooch]

That is so exciting! Congratulations!

[@williamblair1123]

What else did you use (if anything)

[@MrDmacc1]

​@@InsideCloudAndSecurityHello I'm in the process of studying for cissp certification, And I've been watching your video on all 8 domains. Question: Do you feel it's necessary for me to get my comptia cert before obtaining my cissp, also what type of entry level job could be obtained with a comptia cert? Thanks in advance

[@Korrath]

Passed the Security+ exam yesterday ( 12/9/23 ). Watched your full video series multiple times, used the Sybex online practice questions I got access to once I bought the book. That was it. Thank you for your excellent coverage of the material, I know who to come back to when the time comes for me to get ready to take the CISSP.

[@InsideCloudAndSecurity]

Congratulations!🎉🏆🌟 BTW, there’s only one video on this channel that gets more views than my Security+ Exam Cram, and that’s my CISSP Exam Cram! 👍

[@chrisando5818]

I never comment on videos, but this is amazing. I'm struggling to have any motivation when it comes to online study, you have given me some methods i will surely try! Can't wait for the rest of the content. Thank you!

[@InsideCloudAndSecurity]

That's great! Should have the first installment posted later this month. 👍

[@sonicandzelda]

I just passed my Security+ exam earlier today and your cram series was a massive help for me in getting all the material down. Thank you so much for this! You're doing amazing work.

[@InsideCloudAndSecurity]

Great to hear! Congratulations! 🏆🎉

[@vperepechina]

My tip for studying: write everything by hand into notebook, re-read it once a week, cram for 2 days, take 1 day of right before exam, then go to the exam next day.

[@InsideCloudAndSecurity]

I created the PDF so you do not have to, but I definitely appreciate that actually writing things down helps many folks remember. Thanks for sharing!

[@vperepechina]

HELLO, again. I passed my SYO-601 yesterday - THANK YOU FROM THE BOTTOM OF MY HEART, Your material was key in achieving passing grade! God bless you.

[@InsideCloudAndSecurity]

That’s AWESOME! Congratulations Veronika! 🏆🎉🌟

[@indo3052]

Yeah but once u pass, do u still feel comfortable working or being able to do everything the job requires afterwards?

[@the15minutegamer]

I've passed Security + today with a 783. You helped me pass Az900 and Sc900. This was so so so much harder like so mentally draining. However again great videos and great content and gave me a good basis to start my study

[@InsideCloudAndSecurity]

Glad to hear it! CONGRATULATIONS! 👍🏆🎉

[@davidabaneme2830]

@the 15minutesgamer can i reach out to u, i am about to take comptia security + exam

[@kenichir0m]

You speak so clearly and concisely. REALLY appreciate how you lay the information out. It’s the easiest way that I’ve come across for me to understand this material 👌

[@InsideCloudAndSecurity]

Thanks! Glad you're finding it helpful. 😉

Did you pass just by watching his videos?

[@stevecochrane9531]

Many thanks! Due to a technical issue, I was not able to sit for the CompTIA Sec+ exam on March 20th. I was able to take it yesterday, and I passed! This "exam cram" series helped a lot in the time in between both sittings. You explained things very well, so I focused more on understanding than memorizing. Thanks, again! 👏

[@InsideCloudAndSecurity]

Glad it helped! CONGRATULATIONS! 🏆🎉🌟

[@ThatGuyAlon]

I passed the 601 with a 764 today!!! Just wanted to come back and say thank you. This series helped a lot in the final days of studying

[@DeirdreLind]

Thank you so much for creating a workflow that connects all the domains together and shows WHY things work, not just THAT things work. I feel very confident about taking my cert. Thank you!

Active Recall is a great technique

[@InsideCloudAndSecurity]

Definitely good on smaller data set as part of a multi-modal approach. A bit challenging for my model, so I don't rely on it as much in my exam cram series. Hope you find the series helpful.

Good luck! 🍀🤞

Im currently enrolled in a 2week Sec+601 course, I noitced after day 2 it was just mass information exposure with an instructer speaking at a Rate simply not retainable. I have 1 week left in class and My employeer is expecting me to have Cert in hand a week after that. I wish I wouldve done a "Bootcamp that although doesnt cover all still get me to pass the exam in a quick rate . Unfortunately I do not think i stand a chance to pass.

[@InsideCloudAndSecurity]

My series is about 10 hours long. Reach out to me on LinkedIn and let's talk about how you can spend the rest of your prep time to maximize your is on game day. If you need more time, you may contact support where registered to see if you can push the date out.

Sir please help with PBQs

Since CompTIA is vendor-agnostic, the PBQs will be focused on decisions/configuration/implementation of concepts, not on anything created by a specific company. See CompTIA's example of what you can expect here - www.comptia.org/testing/testing-options/about-comptia-performance-exams/performance-based-questions-explained

Should I study 601 or go for 701?

The 601 cert is good for the same 3 years as the 701, and there is more material and community experience to pull from. If you're testing before July 30th, many are still taking the 601 exam.
