I just passed. If I would give any advice, it would be to know Nmap (switches and syntax), injection attacks (what they look like and how to remediate them), and a general understanding of what each tool does. A really good resource for info is the WGU pentest+ subreddit. The cert is required for their BSCIA program, so a lot of people give good feedback there. Read the answers, then the question, then the paragraph. This can help keep info straight in your head.

This was VERY helpful. I'm just now starting this class, and I was most worried about domain 5.0, so hearing what you said about it eased my mind. Thank you!

Will be preparing for this certification soon as part of my bachelor’s degree program. Thank you for advising on how to prioritize study efforts. Super helpful.

I passed the 003 version and man I passed by 4 points lol. I'm aiming for SecurityX and TCM Security's PJPT and PNPT before I tackle OSCP.

81.25% of the points to pass but questions are worth different ammounts of points based on its weight.

Maybe I missed it, but what resources did you use to study for and pass the exam? Or did you have enough experience that you just needed a light review?
