Professor Messer's SY0-601 Security+ Study Group - February 2022

[@worstcat8489]

Professor, just wanted to thank you for the high quality of your product and presentations. I passed Security+ today and was entirely prepared by your material over about 3 weeks of study, testing, and research. The practice tests helped a bunch - keep up the great work!

[@professormesser]

Congratulations on your Security+!

Were the PBQs tough? I've been going through the certmaster PBQs and some of them are crazy.

[@bencedeno9276]

@@hafcat I only got 5 of them. They were the first 5 questions. They weren’t bad at all. I marked them for review and left them for the end when I was done with the multiple choice questions.

Ben Cedeno .. What material you learn apart from professor messier videos. Which book you bought to pass the exam. You did exam online or in person?

[@bencedeno9276]

@@mandeepgujral578 I bought the practice exams from boson prior to finding Professor Messer's channel. I only used the Practice exams and Professor Messer's to study. The practice exams from boson were nice, but pricy. I paid about $80 for them. They do offer your money back if you don't pass your test.

How long did you study and did you have any prior experience?

[@balzor]

Just a note on the practice questions. While they are not exactly exam questions, they are similar. But more importantly, they shape your analytical and logical thinking with regards to the exams. The questions are not the same, but the way you look at and think about the questions will be closer to where it needs to be to pass.

You're the BEST Professor Messer

Congrats. I have to take in next week.

[@cleverestx]

By "you stuff" do you mean his free video series, or some paid content too? (and congrats!)

[@Robbiegod1]

Congrats! Got any tips to pass the exam? How long did u study before you took the test?

[@Alderr101]

I paid for practice tests and notes

Recently finished my degree in computer forensics/digital investigations. Going through Security+ info, frequently the information in forensics tends to get overlooked. This study guide touching on forensic was very much appreciated and satisfying. Thank you Professor, for everything you do.

I had notifications for this and I still missed it, I’m so sad:(

[@moyamorrison2807]

I need more knowledge on how to analysis logs for different attacks . Is there any resources where I can find these samples? Thank you.

[@joshh4005]

Does anyone know if you can just skip the first few comptia certs and go straight for security plus will this automatically make you certified in the lower certs?

[@professormesser]

You cannot earn a CompTIA certification without taking the exam, even if you take a "higher level" exam first.
