Just took Sec+ and passed with an 833  I'm going in reverse order as I wanted to get Sec+ first as I thought it was easier to study for with a shorter study time (only a week or so), so unfortunately it's not renewing a Net+, but I'm still proud of it. I'll probably wait a bit and then get Net+ just to have it under my belt too sometime soon.

cage-free egghead posted:Only a week? drat, that's impressive. Nice job! I have a BS in CS and was (technically only tier 1 but there was a lot of overlap) doing K-12 IT for the past 2 years or so, so I wasn't going in completely blind. Which practice material were you using? I'd say the Messer stuff is probably the most like the real exam.

cage-free egghead posted:I'm enrolled at WGU right now and they insist you use their material (Ucertify) so I've used it for like 95% of my studying. I knew I should have just gone with Messer for it since he got me through Net+ and A+. Can't you just use it and not tell them?

cage-free egghead posted:Kinda, the site tracks nearly everything you've done including bookmarks that "complete" once you've spent enough time on the page. The instructor and mentor can see how much progress you've made on everything. I guess more of "glance through the WGU stuff, then actually study outside of that using Messer", rather than just not using the WGU stuff

Defenestrategy posted:Going for the Sec+ this weekend, and I have to say I have never been so frustrated studying for an exam in my life. It's almost like they want you to fail a few times What study material are you using and what background do you have going into it? I basically went with just Messer's videos on topics I didn't have covered, as well as his course guide and practice exams and ended up with 833 after a week of studying (but also a CS degree with a concentration in Network & Security and 2 years experience doing tier 1.5-2 helpdesk depending on how you count it)

Defenestrategy posted:Mostly GCGA+Udemy and Comptia's Certmaster thing, I have a BS in IT with an Info Sec concentration and have been doing various IT jobs for a few years. The big problem I'm finding is twisting my mind into fitting what the gently caress the people writing the practice tests are trying to say. While the GCGA practice tests are good, the Udemy tests are fine, the Comptia practice problems are so poorly written it worries me. I'd say take the Messer tests and see where you end up. I scored higher than I did on Messer tests on average. I think that has to do with there being the right answer, then wrong answers in varying levels of wrong, so you can maybe get some points from a wrong answer, whereas when doing the practice test it's easier to just grade yourself on "right answer wrong answer" scoring system.

Defenestrategy posted:Went through the messer exams and scoring 87-90ish percent on them, and the questions are what id expect from someone who is interested in testing your knowledge rather than being misleading I am not a certified test tutor, but I'd estimate you're probably ready. I was scoring around 80% on the Messer exams and ended up with 833/900.

Killer_B posted:I don't recall BGP being mentioned on the exam itself, possibly outside of the value for Administrative Distance. Yeah, at the context of a single org, it's highly unlikely you'll ever see or touch BGP (unless you're at an org that is responsible for registry level routing)
