Just passed the Security+ having already done N+ and A+, definitely could not have done it without your help, resources and the encouragement of people in the comments!
Best of luck to everyone looking to get certified, you're definitely in the right place :)

Just wanted to say how grateful I am for you content. I failed Security+ twice because I was not fully prepared. It was extremely difficult for me because I am a hands on learner and I have no experience as a recent college grad. The third time around I purchased Darril Gibson's book and your notes for a visual guide and used your videos and study groups as an audio guide and I finally passed! I really wished you accepted donations because your content is amazing and definitely worth the dime!

I've always wanted to say this. I passed my Security + 501 exam today and it feels great. I preveously took the exam 3 times at least and failed because I did not properly test. I decided to watch and listen to you completely and it all worked out, even though I ran out of time and didnt do 3-4 of the performance based question. Thank you for posting your videos. Oh and please comment as that would be so awesome!

I just passed my Security+ 501 yesterday. I had zero experience, and this was my first certification. I studied for about a month and half, a few hours a day (with off days of course). I definitely recommend studying for a period of time, as I felt I barely scrapped by. I plan on taking the A+ and Net+ next. These videos were a very important asset for laying a baseline of knowledge. The most important part of preparation are any practice exams, it's all about thorough understanding of the material. Experience with performance based questions, specifically command line tools, is also very important before test day. Good Luck Everyone!
