i completed the entire certmaster for Sec + and was halfway through the google cybersecurity certificate when i took the Sec + and passed in July. people say its an easy beginner test but that's not true. i didnt understand a lot of the test and the pbq's sucked. what i did was save the pbqs until last. i didnt even read them on the first pass, i just went on to the next question. answer the questions you know first then go back. i was confident that i hd failed the test but passed it by like 2 points. SO glad that done lol

My advice - study A+ material and do practice tests but DON’T pay for the exam. If your goal is Security+ just pay for that. Give yourself a timeline, schedule the exam and hold yourself accountable so you hit your daily/weekly goals and can take the test on time. Good luck!

Good video, i know you said you realized you liked the Networking side along with Cloud, is Sec+ needed to start as a cloud engineer? Or is Sec+ just better to get your foot in the door with GovTech?

@StormyBeLife
@StormyBeLife Ай бұрын
I look at it like a driver's license for GovTech. For example, I have hair clients who own gov contracting staffing companies and they said if I had Sec+ I could easily get on board.

Hey Stormy I’m looking into taking a yr long course at my local Community College for cloud but it seems like you have to focus on CS before considering Cloud. Is this true?
@StormyBeLife
@StormyBeLife Ай бұрын
@@Maverick-xl8cm It depends on the school's curriculum. There are three CC's near me, each with a different curriculum for Cloud. The one I pick is more focused on industry standards. The other has more general ed classes even for the certificate. I would look into a neighboring county CC to compare the curriculums. You may pay a few hundred dollars more for each course, but if you like the courses offered it may be worth it. In the previous city I lived in the only IT degree at the CC was very CS focused as well and that discouraged me. But I wish I hadn't let it, because I could've gained so much back then. Also, remember once you get the foundation you can also do self-study.
