You will see my thought process and walkthrough for each question so you can use it as a Security+ study guide.

I just passed my Security+ exam today and I can honestly say these videos helped me a lot. Slowing down and rereading the key words in questions definitely helped me on a lot of the tricky questions. Definitely learning the acronyms and having a general understanding of each of the exam objectives is essential.

“This is a good example of comptia question “ bro they straight from the test bro is a legend 😭
Question 9 is in a+ as well

[brandonodom]

Just finished taking and PASSING the 701 exam! Your breakdowns of seeing what the questions were asking for, and going through each answer right or wrong really helped changed the way I studied and attacked the exam. Appreciate you and keep up the good work!

[FahimYasar]

I just passed my security+ 701 exam today, first try,
This video was last thing I watched before entering the exam.
Thanks

[JWiLLfoReaL]

I believe with all of my studying and questions from book, and reading the book. Outside resources and looking at your videos will help me pass.

I passed the sy0-701 a few hours ago! I've been watching your Security+ videos along with Professor Messer for about 2 weeks now, and it feels like your questions are a bit harder than what was on my real exam. I usually miss 3-4 questions from each of your five most recent Security+ videos I've watched from you, which had me worried, but I passed with a 775 so you helped me a lot. Thank you again!

[MachineGunDon]

Bro the first 2 questions are literally in the test 😭😭 in a+ and s+
Edit :w bro most of these are in the exam and there’s another guy who has this same this with a few questions that’s actually in the exam
Thank you so much I’m on my 3rd try got 70% then 74% keep pushing guys I’ll let y’all know tomorrow how it goes pray for me but we definitely passing 🫡

[nathaliefosso]

I wactched all videos and I just passed Comptia Security + certification. Thank you so much 🎉🎉🎉

[Liftheavy]

I take my test next month and I guess the key takeaway is to go literally based on what the question is asking instead of trying to interpret it.

[hectorlara-dvqd]

Just getting home from my security + 701 today, firts try, this video help me a lot to change the way that I analyze each question.
Thanks a lot.

For question 3, SSL has not been updated since SSL 3.0 in 1996 and is now considered to be deprecated.

[allannhlanhla]

Question 2, nahh, it says you're walking by the cubicle, at that exact moment. The logical step to take immediately at that exact moment would be to warn the user about the POTENTIAL phishing attempt since you are walking past them at that time. By not warning the user and reporting to the IT department, you essentially risk the user clicking on the phishing link as you go and report.

[EdDolokelen]

If the test going to have question like #12, that is setting people up to fail. That question is so open. I choose A only because the company and user did not change anything or doesn't know what is going on.

[AHomicidalPear]

I've gone through two of your security+ videos and found myself answering wrong a lot in the beginning until you kept going back and saying, "Well, WHAT are they asking?".

Ever since that has clicked in my head, I've been choosing the correct answer like 8-9/10 times now. My main issue is just remembering some definitions and the acronyms. Huge emphasis on acronyms, though.

I'm a little over halfway through my associates in cybersecurity, and these videos are preparing me better for the CompTIA Sec+ more than my classes have.

However, my associates is helping me build an understanding of the concepts for everything. Just to clarify, I am not saying my classes aren't worth it for me. They are, but this is way better for the Sec+ certification.

TLDR: Good vids. Am improving. 👍

[annon-ski]

Just passed my 701, thank you, these really helped. I went through them many times.

[dadumuhoza]

Thank you for what you do! I passed the exam due to the help of your resources!🙏🏽

[cleggnation]

I answered 16 out of 20 questions right. Gaining confidence for my test on August 1st!

[ncruze]

Ok question 16 has to be challenged cuz it's not fair to test takers. If I'm calling help desk then that means it's work related. The bank doesn't send email to your work email, they send it to your personal email and if that's the case I'm not calling help desk for a personal problem, in that scenario the answer would be D but given the scenario it def should be C!

[charles_mankattah]

regarding question 1, though IDS appears to be the right answer in all the options provided the way the questioned is framed is abit off ie "the new solutions allows employees to access the data from ANY INTERNET CONNECTED

[ssboxer]

Welp, 17 correct out of 20 ain’t bad. I got 13, 14, and 20 wrong. Good thing I’ve got my Sec+ book coming this evening. Great vid! Helped a lot!
